Here's a free app to report people parking in disabled parking spots without permits. The company that developed this is out of Austin but they have an office in Calgary too.
That's all great and I hope it makes it easier for the disabled on the internet. There's another problem and it's that despite being over 27 years since it's been enacted, there are still a vast majority of businesses that ignore the ADA. The only way to address this is to hire a lawyer and go to court. This takes up to a year and if you do it too much, you're labeled as someone who wastes the time of the court.
This is a major problem!
Imagine seeing someone parked in a hadicapped spot that wasn't handicapped. Instead of using an app on your phone to report them like: Parking Mobility (android or iphone) or calling the police to ask them to fine the person - Imagine having to hire a lawyer and wait a year to see any kind of justice. It's crazy!
Look, I'm 100% for true, real justice for LGBT, people of color, and everything else. Maybe some of you could help the disabled cause a little? Seriously. I mean, with disabled people making up about 20-25% of the population, there's a good chance that you'll be LGBT and disabled, or a person of color and disabled, etc... C'mon! This affects you even if you're not a minority.
There's this page https://www.emailalert.dmv.ca.gov/DPPPP/Misuse.aspx
As well as an app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fortmobile.parkingmobility
for reporting scum violating handicapped parking regs.
I don't know if this will get buried, but I was curious if there was an app to easily report this kind of violation and it turns out there is!
There's also an app for reporting parking violations
It was originally made for idiots who park in handicap spots, but double parking is another thing to report
I use an app to report bullshit like this. It makes us all look like douchebags. Our laziness should never be placed higher than a handicapped spot user's ability to get around. It's selfish as fuck.

Just report them with Parking Mobility App. Apple, android. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fortmobile.parkingmobility&hl=en_US&gl=US
Don't let the assholes get you down, OP. Nobody should be parking in disabled spots that don't have a disabled placard or tag.
it does not directly solve the problem but i use this app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fortmobile.parkingmobility at least i have done something.
i used it within the first 24 hrs of downloading the app...and have used it many times since....if your disabled you see this a lot.....a whole lot.

An app for reporting these POSs.
For these assholes, use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fortmobile.parkingmobility
It allows you to report them and they get thier ticket in the mail.
More people need to try this app, and it doesn't require 4 hrs of training.

Another less time consuming approach to consider: use mobile apps that exist for this purpose to report them. Here is an example for Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fortmobile.parkingmobility . These take your current location, ask you to snap a picture of the offending car, and then send this data on to to the provider for further disposition.
In addition, if you have people in the complex who share your goals but not your passion for reporting these disgusting psychopaths, the app may provide an easier method for them to report violations as well.
You can report people using this app. Not sure if it works in every state.
