Disabled parking police

Why are people always giving people shit for parking in the disabled bays and interrogating them on whether or not they're truly disabled? Non-driving cyclist here so I have no skin in this game but I always think it's so crazy to give a shit about whether or not someone using a parking space is actually disabled or not.

I will remember this post next time some cyclist gets stroppy because I'm driving in the cycle lane.

Once some guy was parked in the cycle lane so I milkshaked his windshield lol. Why would you drive in a bike lane tho there's so much room

I have a blue badge
It is for when I support someone who is disabled.
I could just use disabled spaces to make my life easier when I'm on my own (shouldn't but could).

Some people are not as conscientious about that, same as some seem to think family n parking still applies when your kid is a teenager.

If people sometimes call out CF behaviour then seems not unlike people calling others put for tossing rubbish out the car window.

If no-one enforces rules then the losers are the ones who were meant to be helped by those rules
