"Durban - Police who parked their vehicles in bays designated for disabled and wheelchair-bound motorists came in for criticism at the weekend."

“I peered down and saw the cop van in the disabled parking. A lady, who was not disabled, parked them in to show that it was wrong. Two policewomen came out of the shop and started shouting at her. I heard the one cop say to a man ‘How do you know my brother or sister isn’t disabled?’”

The Facebook posting drew close to 800 “likes” in an hour and more than 100 comments.

Some people heaped praise on the driver who blocked the police in. Others hurled cynical remarks at the policewomen."

Mentally disabled parking in the physically disabled parking .

People are too lazy to walk a few metres more from another parking bay. I’m sure if it was possible they would try to park inside the shop.

If they park there in an emergency situation, no problem.

To do their shopping... wrong.

Agreed, but with both of these shopping complexes (I know them well) the police would not be using the disabled parkings for "emergencies", they're using them because they're lazy as fsck and deserve to be punished for it.

I would also park them in, and then photograph number plates, phone the relevant station and lay an official complaint, and IF metro could get involved contact Metro as well... I'm sure the Metro boys would love to stick it to their SAPS counterparts.
 
A friends uncle tried that once, Metro threatened to arrest him for obstructing official police business AND making them come out for a 'nothing' call.

It is not only the police that is doing it, it is also people who just don't care.
 
Police spokesman Colonel Jay Naicker said the SAPS KwaZulu-Natal management condemned irresponsible and inconsiderate conduct by the police officers.

“We embrace the rights of disabled persons and infringement of their rights as alleged cannot be tolerated. We will investigate these serious allegations of misconduct. We wish to unconditionally express our apology to the citizens affected and reiterate that such alleged conduct is in breach of police code of conduct.

“The public is encouraged to bring to the attention of the management any similar unacceptable conduct by the members of the SAPS for corrective and disciplinary measures to be instituted,” Naicker said.

Smells like a disingenuous statement full of all talk and zero action, and I would bet good money that Colonel Jay Naicker has also been known to park in a disabled parking bay.
