In Illinois the fine is U$250. And the only permit is the blue and white
(for permanent) or red and white (temporary) hanger. or a wheelchair
symbol on the licence plate. Also D.A.V. plates. 

I have called the nabs more than once on people violating the intended
use for handicapped spots. Usually after I have mentioned to them that
their placard is not displayed and they give me a bushel of attitude.

And the cops/traffic wardens here don't just write a ticket to the owner
of the licence plates. They issue the ticket to the driver - who usually
screams like a wounded eagle and claims discrimination. Which works not
at all since many of the nabs are of the same ethnicity as the violator.
