If it seems stupid, lobby you local council!

What?!? Just because its private land doesn't mean that people shouldn't respect the provision that is set aside for others who rely on such spaces. Able bodied people who park in disabled zones are selfish douche bags.

How can you lobby your local council if its a private car park?

As far as filming incidents like this, I think he would of been far better just saying something but imo too many people walk by silly cows like her and grumble under their breath but don't have the courage to say anything.

In the UK its not an offense to park in a disabled bay in a private carpark, so I'm sorry, but those that harass law abiding citizens are more in the wrong than those parking their cars

Even if the car park is on private ground and even if a prosecution would not be possible (although the company who owns the ground can fine people for parking in disabled bays) people should have enough morals and decency not to park in a disabled bay specifically marked out for people who struggle to get around. Who knows which of us will need one of those bays in the future?

I'm not disagreeing with that, I think its wrong that people take advantage of those spaces. However, they are not breaking any laws, whereas harrasment and threatening those that do it is breaking the law. Thats the point I am making.

Oh I think you would find that if this ever went to a British court, the judge would be very much on the side of the camera man!

Well this wasn't in the UK it was in America.

So are you saying its okay to park in a disabled bay providing you're not breaking the law by doing so?
