the cop had no more right to berate a disabled person than anyone else, in California at least, his only option would be to ask to see the DMV printout verifying the placard was issued to the person in question, thank him and leave. Not every disabled person show constant obvious symptoms, I don’t, yet I am disabled and do have a placard which depending on the severity of my symptoms I will or will not use. This cop needs anger management intervention and a real hard look if should continue to be out with the public.
Same with me. All the cop had to do was scan the bar code on the placard and it would show the guy’s name. I don’t think that’s the problem. I think this cop had “determined” this guy wasn’t really handicapped.
