Instead of having placards or license plates on cars telling the world that the person in the vehicle is handicapped, it seems more discrete to have something like a chip implanted in the vehicle so the parking enforcement person can scan and issue a ticket or not. I understand people may harass those who have a right to park there at first. Seems to me that the plates/placards could set someone up to be a target.
My mother had a disability that was obvious to anyone watching her get out of the car and we were never glared at, that I know of. But I do know someone who was assaulted because he parked in the handicapped spot, with placard prominently displayed, because he didn’t look disabled.
I didn’t realize the full extent of bladder control issues. Didn’t know it could be painful so I’m sorry about making callous/insensitive remarks. My karma is already coming about every time I sneeze.
