State laws throughout the United States say that handicap permit holders are the only people that can legally use them. But a person can generally use a parking placard as either a driver or a passenger. This means placard holders can use them in another car as long as they are in the car at the time of use.

If convicted of violating section 472, one can face up to a year in jail if the case is filed as a misdemeanor and up to three years in prison, plus up to a $10,000 fine if the case is filed as a felony. Handicapped parking fraud often also involves counterfeit disability placards.
