Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White announces the placard sting initiative.

Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White’s office says a statewide sting to catch drivers abusing disability parking kicks off on Black Friday.

This is the 13th year for the sting, which targets people parking illegally in disability spots at several Illinois shopping malls...including University Mall in Carbondale.
Fines are in the hundreds of dollars for those parking without a designated license plate or placard and those who use someone else’s placard to get a good parking spot.
