Since they started selling the vests on amazin everybody says they have a service dog. Boris actually is registered service animal and emotional support animal. I dont even bother with the vest i know the laws and i use them.
Yeah you can get all kinds of fake shit on amazon. Here there's a hefty fine.
It's like dissability parking passes. There's fakes and there's people getting tickets when they are caught.
One guy parked in the handicapped spot in front of Safeway and RAN into the store leaving his engine running. I had to hobble across the parking lot. Safeway staff wouldn't do anything.
When I left he was arguing with a cop.i overheard and he got 2 big tickets, one fir each offense.
Guy with a bicycle in the handicapped seat on a train told me to sit somewhere else! He was publicly shamed by other passengers and he responded with loud cruel comments towards me for the duration of the trip.
A young woman made a dash from a rear bus door all the way to the front to grab a handicapped seat just as I approachd the seat from the front door. She was amazingly deaf when I and others said something. (She also ran out when it was her stop) thankfully there was a seat given to me by a witness.
Don't get me started about @holes who use the designated parking....
These are regular occurrences.
The accessibility rules are there for good reasons but some people only give a shit about themselves. I hope they never have pain or need but in the meantime...Ticket them!
