Fighting Fake Handicapped Parkers

People who fake a handicap to get privileged parking spaces should have their legs broken. That way, they'd actually be handicapped. Wouldn't that be fair? Sure it would. For years, Lafayette resident Maureen Birdsall would take her brother, who has cerebral palsy, to appointments and then drive in circles hunting for an empty handicapped parking space. It irked her to see able-bodied people pulling into those spots or using a handicapped placard that she suspected was not theirs. Birdsall now is doing battle with handicapped parking violators. She launched the free Web site http://www.handicappedfraud.org to give people a place to report the license plates, handicapped placard numbers and locations of cars suspected of abusing the law.
