Some people who are entitled to a handicapped permit do not appear to be handicapped. They may have a condition that limits the distance they can walk but does not require them to use adaptive equipment such as crutches or a wheelchair.
I had a temporary handicapped permit for three months after a leg injury. One day, I forgot to take the permit out of the glove compartment and hang it on the rear view mirror the way you're supposed to do. I got a ticket -- for $250!
This suggests something that one could really say to a person who parks in a handicapped space without a visible permit: "Hey, you forgot to hang your handicapped permit on the mirror." If the person is a scatterbrained idiot like me, you've performed a service. If the person is not entitled to park in the handicapped space, you've embarrassed them.
