The fact is, we have had people tell us that the abuse of disability parking slowed in some areas after it became known that photos of offending vehicles appeared on the web. Public shame is an effective tool. There have been countless public education campaigns, fines, etc and these haven't seemed to really make a difference. Caughtya does make a difference.

As for calling the local police, many of us have done that. In some rare cases, police officers are dispatched. And often by the time they show up, 30 minutes later, the offender has long gone. Generally though, the response is "we're too busy, we have 'real criminals' to catch". Then there are places where the police is actually not entitled to issue parking infractions on private property (such as in the UK or New Zealand).

instead of wasting your energy on this, why don't you do something positive. sublimate that indignation perhpas. go help someone who needs it rather than bringing upon this holier-than-crusade of I Caught You Parking In The Disabled Spot So Now I'm Gonna Mock You And Destroy Your Name As Much As I Can On The Net!

Better yet, why not just call the local police and ask them to send an available officer to see the person committing the minor wrongful act? That might actually do something to the person. He or she might actually feel ashamed by that situation of being caught by an officer of the law.

Do you really think anyone is ashamed by having their car plates put onto the Net??? Like anyone would make a connection to the person pointed at. The better question is why is a site like this allowed to just put someones private information up on a site without validating whether the person was truly breaking the law? Honestly, are you a cop or law officer who has investigated these people and found them transgressing a law? Are you the government? You don't have the right to just advertise someones plate numbers in such a manner.

I fully understand being upset by people parking in a disable spot who do not deserve it or need it. However, I cannot endorse or condone borderline libel. You guys who are enthusiasts for this site should beware. You're getting publicity now on sites like Yahoo and ABC News and don't expect it all to be good attention towards you. People can sue you too for what you might do wrong. The proverbial blade cuts both ways and no, I not one of the scumbags who does such things as parking in disabled parking. I'm also not someone who thinks they can broadcast information left and right because they have access to a website.
