In today's video, I show a real life experience I had of catching multiple drivers illegally parked in disabled parking spots. Illegal parking is a huge problem for the disability community. Please do not park in a disabled parking spot unless you are legally allowed to do so. And always show your placard or have disabled license plates so your car is clearly marked. CLOSED CAPTIONED

LOVE DISABLED LIFE MISSION
The Love Disabled Life RUclips channel is committed to challenging the stigma of disability that perpetuates the discrimination and marginalization of disabled people. Videos are about aspects of daily life, our history and culture and positive disability identity.
I'm Jody, the woman behind (and in front of too!) the camera, and I am motivated to advocate for positive disability identity through this RUclips channel, as well as in by blog website and Etsy shop, to provoke new ways of thinking about being disabled. In doing this work, I hope that I can amplify the voices of my community so that they may be better understood and accepted in society. While I acknowledge, as disabled people, we might not like every day (let's face it, some days are hard), we should always love who is living them.

I don’t feel sorry for anyone illegally parked in a handicapped and get a ticket! They don’t belong there and it’s pure laziness on their part
Thank you! I hope they just got a warning. But I hope they learned a lesson. People who get away with that tend to do it over and over again.
Being disabled, I want to thank you for what you do.
Shame on those drivers for parking there illegally
Thank you! I know. Some people just don't think.
My mother faces this everyday. Thank you for posting this. People NEED TO UNDERSTAND that those parking spots really do help those who are handicapped. It isn't right
I was initially going to tell you to lay off of people (or at least approach individually) with expired tags. It's happened quite a bit with my mom before she got her's updated to never having to renew it. People forget a LOT of the time, and cops are just looking for that revenue even if it is just a day over being expired. But five years? Sheeeyittt. Ticket those idiots. Probably not even their card initially anyway.
Thank you for watching and commenting. Look, I'm not out to make people's life hard. I know licensing and fees are expensive. But when it comes to disabled parking placards, they cost nothing to be in compliance. Once I got a ticket for not having my hang-tag legally displayed. Was I salty about it, sure. But I paid the fine. It was my fault. The law is the law and far too many disabled people have their rights to access infringed on a daily basis. On this day I just had ENOUGH.
Did you know the placard should not be hanging when the car is being driven. It blocks the drivers view. Also placards will dry out and get brittle and degrade.
Was a caregiver for my parents for 16 years. Handicap parking was so helpful for them.
I love Whole Foods. Good people work there and want to help others. Good for you for bringing justice to the entitled individuals of America.
Thank you. We like Whole Foods too! I'm impressed she actually called!
Oh no! I'm sorry you were yelled at and harassed. That is NOT okay. As long as someone has a displayed tag that is up to date, that is all that matters to me. I would never assume something is fake. What you experienced was very rude behavior. I'm sorry :(
As a retired person and a member of Disable American Veterans, I would volunteer my time to go out and write these scumbags' tickets.
Thank you for doing something and posting this video!
When I was a kid and I sometimes still do is contact the police about cars parked in disable spots without a permit. Just as the police show up I have the person at customer service tell the shoppers that car whatever it is and tag number their window was just broken into out front. The person runs out real fast just as the ticket go's on the window.
Thank you for commenting and watching. That is a good idea about the store saying their car has been broken into. I am sure that will get people out front fast!
Kudos Jody... for shinning a light on this.
Nice. We all should report people who park illegally.
That is one thing that really irritates me. How inconsiderate. One day they will need a stall and then they will hopefully understand.
Exactly. Thank you for watching and commenting.
I'm disabled but choose not to get a handicap marker because my disability doesn't hinder my mobility enough that i would need it. Idk where able-bodied people get the audacity but it infuriates me.
These fools need to be jailed!!!
I am not handicapped but this is one of my biggest pet peeves! I’ve made my own citations since I can’t seem to get the law to do anything and big D is a big place.
Great job guys!!! Keep it up!!😊
Great job! I wish you recorded the cops talking to the drivers and their reactions. Keep up the good work! ❤
I LOVE THIS !!! WE NEED THOSE SPOTS !! I struggle with this constantly but never thought the police department would ever get involved. I've only been disabled for a few years but always respected parking laws. Drives me nuts when it gets abused. I often wonder if the abusers realize that I'm not disabled because its fun !!!
As a younger person who has a hidden disability I love see these.
So wish that they would patrol these a lot more!!
And it is completely legit to have it on the dashboard. I drive several cars that the placard will not hang right or are of an age that they don't have a center mirror to hang it from.
Over here in the UK it's the cops who are a lot of the problem parking high on the pavement and over lowered wheelchair crossing points normally outside the coffee and doughnut shops . I have actually been trapped inside a coffee shop as the cop car was parked so close to the door I failed to be able to get my wheelchair out . When I tried later to access the cop station to complain I found 5cop cars parked blocking THE PAVEMENT TOTALLY a great way to stop people getting in to complain
I am disabled too, but the placards don't have to be hanging from the rear-view mirror. They just have to be visible from the outside of the car. Placing on the dash top is actually ok.
Just to clarify, this video did not show any 'drivers' being caught, but instead only showed vehicles which were apparently in violation.
That said, such vehicles should be ticketed AND towed away immediately. There are few things in life lower than an able-bodied person who would park illegally in a handicapped spot.
I worked at a Chick-fil-A and everyday this was an issue but I could not say anything to the perpetrators. So annoying 😢
I’m NOT disabled…but that really pisses me off for my family that is! I’m that heifer…I WILL make sure you’re cited and/or SORRY that you took a disabled persons spot!! BET THAT🖕🏻
I'm so so sorry some people think there's nobody that needs those spots but I say stay out if you are not Handicapped and the Find needs to be $1,500 for it
I have had a wrecked back 40 yrs. People just don't know or don't care that those steps the handicapped parking spaces save me while shopping make the difference in whether or not I'm able to stay upright long enough to get what I need, like food, to last until the next time my back allows me to make another trip out of the house. Thanks for bringing attention to this common problem.
Good for you !!!
I bet it was a very expensive shopping trip for those 3 schmucks who thought they were entitled to park illegally.
Keep up your good deeds.
I’ve never parked in a handicapped spot. I never will unless I’m handicapped and have a placard. Terrible.
Just go to a workout facility. The spots are always full of nice cars with people walking with no issues
$1000 tag and tow would be a perfect response !
When cops are there no one parks illegally. When cops are not there illegal Parker’s galore!
shame on them drivers, hope they got tickets. your this video was featured on another youtubers channel (angry driver attack), and had to come and give you a follow. the struggle is very real, i see it happen all the time here in jacksonville fl.
Define for parking in a handicap spot illegally should be $5000 your car gets towed and your sentence to 20 hours a week for a full year at a op our place that works with handicap people to try to get them to be rehabilitated
My wife and I both have handed cap plate. Her handed cap is a lot worse than mine. On good days I take the regular parking space on bad days I have to use disabled space. My wife always uses the disabled space because she can't walk very far.
Why even record the staff of the establishment?
I love it! There is nothing that irritates me more. I do have a handicap plate for my wife but when she's not with me I don't park in handicap. I even had to bring it up to the pastor at church about the abuse, young people using their grandparents hang tag to park in the handicap spots. That seems to be a common abuse the driver has access to a hang tag assigned to someone in their family, so 4 young people get out of a car and they hang the tag and walk in to church.
Keep up the good work and keep the pictures coming!
My wife spent her last four years in a wheelchair, but we didn't have any problems like this.
Well done
The way to deal with these people is to crush the car, removal of the driver should be optional.
I am not disabled but have family that is and it pisses me off when I find these clowns parked in handicap spots. One lady I confronted after she parked and started to walk away, she said she lost her cellphone in the store and going back in to find it. I said really and that gives you permission to park there with some other words, she did move. Another lady parked in the handicap spot, she was about 30 years old, I walked up to her vehicle and noticed the birth year was for 1933 so I called the police, waited for them and they waited till she came out of the store. First she tried to say her mother was in the store and she was waiting for her, that's when I said to the cop when she pulled in she was by herself. She did get a ticket.
Why can't people not park in handicap spots
Good job I think it’s extremely disrespectful to park like that even for 1 minute.
that appreciation might not be genuine
👍 for that. ❤️😄
i love what your doing but why don't you call the police, just call and say your a handicapped person and you want to report parking violators and give the location. thank you for what your doing and keep up the good work.
She did call the police.
I LOVE seeing people parked in handicapped spots getting caught 😂
That’s a nice fat ticket wanted to see the owners though.☺️No shame . Want to hear their lame excuses. 💸
Right?! I'm sure they tried to explain it away. And look, I'm happy if they even got a stern warning. I'm not out to fine people frivolously, I just want them to stop parking in illegally.
I am not handicapped... but people who abuse those designated spots bother me too. You can go in and alert the management because you are handicap... when I have done this as a non handicapped person, they just say they can not do anything about it. It is strange that business property owners by law and regulations have to have a certain amount of designated handicap stops... but they can not or don't want to enforce them. Maybe the business should be given a citation for not having available handicapped parking if non handicap people are using the spot!
I call the cops, yes I do
It used to make me angry and I could never imagine taking a handicap parking space when I was able to walk. Now that I use a wheelchair for any distances outside my house, I find myself just as frustrated though now affected by it.
Peter from England. Keep up the good work 👏.
Around these parts these offenses are managed by parking authorities ($450.00 fine) you call and report and they usually turn up within minutes - it's a pretty good ticket with no defense in court.
New sub thank you for sharing beautiful people ❤️ 😘 💕
FYI, cops don't have quotas. I could write as many tickets as I wanted to...
Grat job did the Wright thing.
I don't have a lot of pet peeves but I can't stand people that park in handicap parking
I have a placard but I don't need to park in handicap parking everytime I go out so I don't but when I need to I would like to be able to
In the province of Quebec, if you're parked in a handicapped space, the ticket costs $315.00. Also, don't forget to renew when expired, because 1 second after midnight on the expiry date you'll get fined if you forgot to renew it. Honest government at work for the handicapped...
It’s just laziness for some people when they see an open spot close to the store. Other people though think they are entitled to park where ever they want and rules don’t apply to them, they are the worst offenders and do it again and again. Even worse they get indignant when confronted about it and act like how dare you !
What is the fine for parking in a handicapped spot in your state/province? Here in Montreal, Quebec it’s $317 CDN($247.97US)
respect
You go SIS🙋🏽♀️💕
I have seen disabled people moaning about getting a ticket for forgetting to display their tickets lol
You found that humorous?
It’s easy to contest and have it expunged. Just show you have the proper papers.
Do them a Favor.... Let the air out of their tires so they cannot control their vehicles. so they can live with a disabling condition.... unable to go anywhere.
Should get more than a ticket maybe a public service for a few days!
As hanging it on the mirror. People do not take it down while driving. In the state I live in that is illegal to drive with it hanging from the mirror. I lay mine on the dashboard. It will not fit on my mirror. If I get a ticket so be it.....
They Should be Booted, fine and Towed.
surely you don't people who work inside a store to police the parking lot? Most major shopping malls have 24 hour security.
Would love to park a semi truck and trailer right behind the illegally parked vehicles and watch them call the cops.
Is it legal for someone to have the back end of their truck in the handicap parking spot? My neighbor is taking my 2 spaces down to one with his huge truck.
Dam it I want to see there face when get caught but I see those very often I’m not disabled I I feel bad for who have to use those parking spaces
Don't b -otch about it on the dashboard. people do the RIGHT thing by taking it down while they are driving. and sometimes people just forget to put it up. also, if its like my state, they start falling apart after 2 years (they are replaced every 3 years), and it could have broken and they have to tape it together to hang it
I e. Went to a hospital 15 hansdicap parking spots taken none had placard i went inside did my business came out 45 minutes later nothing haoppened
Would have loved to see Johnny Towtrucker come by and yank those cars.
For 12 years I've suffered from chronic lower back pain and progressive nerve damage goin from lower back to toes. There are days I can barely walk it's so bad and many times I've seen healthy people park in disabled parking stalls and simply not care when they are approached politely about it. Some people are just narcissistic A-holes!!
Would you do better to call law-enforcement yourself and ask them to send a cruiser to ticket those people? Because if you are handicapped, you are entitled to those spaces. I bet that would get an officer there faster. I’m so very sorry people do that. I see it all the time and I actually will say something to them.
Why can’t you mind your own business
let the tyres down
Tow Truck 🚚🌏FNZealand
Break their mirrors
I am fuckin glad that got a ticket. u should not park in the handicap parking
It's a shame when people park in disabled spots when they shouldn't but you have no evidence that they shouldn't. RUclips really sucks sometimes.
No evidence?
@@Tat2Dragons I didn't see any.
@@whenwasthat Well you must not have been paying close enough attention, because you can see the vehicles without a placard, or handicapped license plates. Do you think she was lying?
@@Tat2Dragons Yes, and being overly dramatic. My mother has a disabled parking exemption, it's just a card that sits on her dashboard.
@@whenwasthat Really… you thought she was lying? Think about that… do you seriously think she would lie about something like that? Over dramatic? I didn’t think so, she’s probably just tired of having to constantly deal with inconsiderate, selfish people when she has to go somewhere. IDK
The reason we have Disable Parking is (parking as close to an entrance as possible) to make it easier for a disable person to enter and leave the premises. So why does some business have disable parking at the end of the building, making it the furthest parking spaces from the entrance? I guess they don't care about their handicap customers.
You know, I've often wondered this myself. It's not that I don't think they don't care, I think sometimes it is an issue with how the building is positioned on the lot, etc. There are a lot of rules and regs for easement, water drainage, stuff like that. Additionally, I think businesses (wrongly) assume that if you are using a disabled parking spot you are in a wheelchair (so you aren't walking) so it doesn't matter anyway. This is obviously a wrong assumption. Lots of people with invisible disabilities need access to disabled parking spots, that yes, should be as close to the entrance as possible. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I've noticed a lot of that in Arkansas, where I live. I currently have about 7-10 minutes of walking/standing time before my legs begin to ache/burn because of bruising/pinching of nerves in my pelvis. At twice that time, I begin to loose feeling in my legs. The really bad placement of reserved parking is usually at restaurants, but there are several strip mall areas without parking of any sort in the areas of the door, including having better than eight inch step-up from the parking area and no ramps for chairs/walkers.
i dunno .. i say get their cars TOWED next time
Good for you! But what about the sheriff parked in a fire zone (red curb)??
Parabéns ótimo trabalho parabéns. BRASIL👍👍👍👍
Good on ya.
Thanks 👍 I appreciate you watching and commenting and your support!
She was wrong about one thing...there is NOTHING nice about an HHR LOL
In the last few months I have come across not one but TWO cars parked in the UNLOADING ZONE of the handicap spaces, literally in between the cars in the handicap spaces. As someone with two members of the family who are disabled this infuriates me. I was able to confront one of the entitled a-holes and they literally said they had the right to park that way. Entitled a-hole was such an appropriate description of them.
YESSSS! Exactly! This is what I'm talking about! Thank you for sharing your experience. Once, I also too had the opportunity to confront a driver who tried to park in a disabled spot illegally. He said, "what, are you a cop or something?" I said, "No, but what you are doing is illegal. Can you please move?" He rolled his eyes and said, "Look lady, I'm sure your life is hard enough, so I'll move." Like he was doing me a big a** favor by obeying the law. I should note, too, sometimes it is scary to confront people. But I will always try to advocate for myself and my community. Thank you for watching and commenting.
@@lovedisabledlife and I'm sure Mr Entitled Jerk thought they were being magnanimous for moving. The Entitled Jerk I confronted was the manager for the store I was in and absolutely refused to move, the only good part of this was that it was in front of her employees and customers who got to see them in a new light, this was a Goodwill to boot, so the employees were astonished that their manager could be such a jerk about this. I still go to Goodwill, but not that one.
I hate people that park where that don’t belong, most with a lame excuse of of I’m just going to be a couple of minutes. Yeah right. Our local grocery store has spaces marked off for golf carts that are very small spaces because there is a large golf retirement community behind the store and a lot of the elderly customers drive golf carts. But people repeatedly park their cars in those spaces since they are to lazy to walk a few feet more from an open spot for cars.
This URKS Me so much!! 😡 I live in philly so this happens like it's nothing , police don't have time to come out for this like other cities. I'm 37 not handicapped but my dad (r.i.p.) had his leg amputated so he needed these years ago. People nowadays just don't give a f$ck and also are so damn lazy to park lil far away. Parking in fire lanes also in front of stores and there usually young people.
An AMG with an illegal, mocking tag at Whole Foods. I mean, there's probably not much more to add into that to have them completely above the law, but that is a good stereotypical start. The only justification you can have for not being handicapped and parking in a handicapped space is that you are a bad person. Deep down, inside, unarguably bad.
The USA has 200 million cars and 2 billion parking slots. Two BILLION! Europe has 330 million cars and 300 million parking slots. Stop whining. You can park anywhere you want!
call the police yourself
I know I don’t have no life I’m watching her walk around snitching on people license plates much respect ✊🏼 though it is important to let the disabled have there ow. Parking.
Hmmm... not sure if you are complimenting my action or dissing it lol. I don't like to think I was snitching. I was doing my part to advocate for the legal enforcement of a statutory law that has been on the books since the ADA went into affect MORE THAN 30 YEARS ago! On this day I just had enough. Thank you for watching and commenting.
@@lovedisabledlife
Like you I'm not sure which way that post is going. As for me I want to say Thank You for "snitching".
👍👍👍
I'm disabled due to COPD and heart problems that reduces the blood flow to my legs (No I'm not fat). I can walk short distances without much problem, but if it's over 200 feet or so my legs start hurting and I limp. If the distance is 100 yards or more I have to sit down until the pain goes away. So, I have a handicap placard, but I only use it if I can't find a parking spot fairly close. I've had people call the cops after seeing me walk a short distance and looking normal. After the cop checks me and finds I'm legal he walks over to the person who reported me and I can see the anger they have over me not getting a ticket. In the beginning I tried to explain my health problems to the complainer, but they didn't want to hear it and flat out called me a liar. So, I don't even bother trying to explain anymore!
Sweetie, it’s not your problem, don’t explain anything to an idiot, they just get more mad. Just smile and say have a nice day.
Good video, but where is Alton?
He didn't make the final cut in this one :)
If some people wouldn't even wear masks to protect the elderly and infirm, what makes you think those same poeple wouldn't steal their parking spots?
Police have better things to do smh
Why is disabled parking free?
As if it shouldn’t be? WTF!
All the parking in that lot is free.
If you are parking in the street it differs from city to city. Time limits also. So call ahead. Btw craig, i hope I don’t hear any more from you.
@@fayeking5066 why is that?
Whoever showing this video why you get a life and leave everybody else alone and just take care of yourself taking care of yourself is your responsibility not to Play Store detective on these people leave them alone they'll figure it out
We found the person who parks in handicap ♿️ spots.
