DMV Investigators Catch 136 People Illegally Using Parking Placards

Sacramento – Investigators with the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) caught 136 people misusing disabled person parking placards during 21 enforcement operations in May 2019. Investigators confiscated the placards that were being misused and cited the offenders.  The citations carry fines that range from $250 to $1,000.  

“DMV investigators have made their enforcement operations very public in order to educate drivers and stop the misuse of disabled person parking placards,” said California Statewide Law Enforcement Association (CSLEA) President Alan Barcelona.  “Still people insist on convenience over courtesy and respect for those who need parking spaces closes to the places they visit.”

During the past eleven months, DMV investigators have issued 1,866 citations and verified 20,420 disabled person parking placards.

The DMV holds as many as 24 enforcement operations each month throughout the state targeted at curbing disabled person parking placard abuse.
