It is extremely rude to take such a spot from someone that needs it. A few years ago my younger sister broke her foot so badly that it required 3 surgeries. I did all of her driving, and it was so hard when there were no spots close by. It caused much unneeded suffering for her.

I loved the holographic technology that created such a gadget, but am appalled
that their signs are still painted on the pavement. (What happens in a Russian winter
when they're buried under a meter or more of ice and snow and can't be seen?)
Most municipalities across the U.S., require both signs on the pavement, as well
as on a sign post immediately in front of the parking spot, with the sign at a certain
designated distance from the ground. If they are not meeting those requirements,
than in many cases, it can be appealed and tossed out of court. Case in point,
when I was in law enforcement, many times I would get called out to a private business
where such a transgression had allegedly occurred, and either the property owner or an
outraged citizen would DEMAND that I issue a citation to the offending party. I had to explain
to them under both the state and municipal statutes, that I could not unless the site met those
above listed stipulations. Most store owners didn't want to go to the extra expense of having a
sign post erected, as well as buying a sign to place on it and the required distance, etc., but a few
valued those customers that needed this service, as well as those who stated they would go somewhere
else to do their shopping if this wasn't put into place. And on a few occasions, those angry citizens would
call back in and complain to my supervisor, that I was refusing to uphold the law, as there was a handicap sign
out there and they wanted me fired!!! Funny how that is.....either we aren't doing our jobs when THEY want us to,
but if we pull them over for speeding, running a red light or stop sign, etc., then why aren't we out catching the real criminals....
I'm just wondering if this video was simply a propoganda piece considering that
the technology probably isn't cheap and exactly how many of these are in operation
across the former USSR, and whether such could/would be implemented here in the west?
