I once saw a coworker struggle to walk into the building one day because
there weren't any spots closer to the back doors. In the handicapped
spot closest to the back door, there was a truck with its bed full of
construction tools and one of those heavy workman's kits. I actually
saw the guy get out of the truck and carry the kit into the building
without any problems so I went to our security officer about it - the
guy was working for a contractor so they called his employer and it
turned out he was the legal owner of the permit. Our state lets our
doctors fill out the certifications like they are lollipops. No teeth to
the enforcement. :(
My workplace enforcement falls to the security officers but since we're
on private property and since they have no way of knowing who's legal if
they have a tag or a permanent plate as I do, they can't do anything if
the tag or plate is legit.
