Do people ever park in handicapped spaces just to be assholes? Or are they just actually needing the space, but unrecognized?
Like, in the same vein as us using the disabled-critter seating on the trains/buses.
There's no Gatekeeping™ there, you just sit down. Of course, the cane does help signify that we're disabled. But we just went out and bought the cane, we didn't have to PROVE IT™®.
Like, if you don't have a handicapped sticker on your car but you park there because you need the space... then you actually, y'know, need the space?
Maybe society should stop gatekeeping disabled parking spaces.

@frost Unfortunately, with a seat on a bus or train, you can easily yield the seat to someone more obviously in need of it - unfortunately someone less obviously disabled might need to step up and ask. But with a parking space, who knows how long the person's sitting on it and you can't easily get in touch with them.
My parents (Mom's mobility is completely terrible, my Dad will occasionally use the placard because he feels old and creaky) are REALLY good at spotting people without placards using the handicapped spaces, I wish they didn't do that.
