No one has the information to decide that the person is not using that space validly, nor do they have the right to quiz that person to find out. It is a simple matter of civility.

I must take polite exception to that part of your otherwise excellent statement. I have the right to ask anyone anything, and anyone has the right to answer or to ignore me or to be as rude as they like. (And frankly, the ruder the better, since it would have been rude of me to question them.)

My asking may carry consequences of which I'm not fond, and I have to bear those consequences if I make the choice to ask . . . but I do have the right.

LOL. That is why I said it is a matter of civility. Perhaps "right" was too strong a word. How about: "nor is it appropriate to quiz that person to find out".

Interesting how you acknowledge that it is not civil to quiz someone but maintain your "right" to do so. Fair enough. Have you stopped beating your spouse yet? ;>)

Have a great day - I must go.

I am on both sides of this. I had a placard for a while, and really needed it some days. It gives you an appreciation of why the blues stalls are there.

A few times I was questioned, but it was normally polite. Once it was not, and I think that person will never question anyone again.

I have also questioned people a few times and turned in many more. Never had a real confrontation, and I know several placards were confiscated.
