As a cop here in Mass, I once watched a young man park in a HP spot and then walk into the liquor store. I know this guy because he is from town and I also know he is driving his grandmothers car. The car has a placard always hanging from the rear view mirror and I also knew his grandmother was basically bedridden for some time (It's a small town and we were also EMT's and drove the ambulance).
I'm outside writing hima $100 handicapped parking violation when he returns with his case of beer and tells me his grandmother is inside the store. I wait with him and after a few minutes he confesses. My partner hears this going on on the radio and told me he gave the same guy a warning for the same HP violation a week prior. So I issued him the $100 violation, charge him additionally with misuse of a HP placard and seized the placard and returned it to the registry.
His family later told me he was using his grandmothers car "until he got back up on his feet" and he told his family he cut up the placard and threw it out. They were embarassed, because it is a small town, and took the grandmothers vehicle away.
