@inflatablegames I encourage you to continue to contact local law enforcement when you see people that do not belong in disabled parking spaces however do not block them in or you may become the one defending yourself in a criminal case.

Great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! let the tickets get them where it hurts the most!! in their wallet or purse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that will serve as a very expensive lesson to those idiots that abuse this and think they are above the law and everyone else for that matter!!

The problem is that Handicapped permits are given away like candy. For example, you can get a handicapped permit simply for being old, fat, or black. All you have to do is mention ANY disability (a toothache for example) and BING here's your permit. If you are black, no disability is required at all. You simply are given one for asking. The law needs to be changed so MONUMENTAL effort is required to get a permit as well as getting one renewed.

If the officer shows up while you are preventing this person from leaving the disabled parking space, you will be lucky you aren't arrested for false imprisonment (Penal Code 236 PC) AND you open yourself up to civil action. You can only detain someone IF they have committed a misdemeanor or felony in your presence not for this simple infraction. I am a huge ADA advocate and completely understand your frustration however you need to remain within the law of your actions.

@SpinergyDude I hope you are lying because that's a jerkish thing to do.

EXCELLENT VIDEO! Way to go!

I park my Chevy Suburban right behind the law breakers and TRAP them in, and will get out and say i will be only a minute, then I call the police and report them for parking like that, REMEMBER the STORE/COMPANY the parking lot is for can call the cops for you also.
