Shopping at 3am, often find a police car or two in the disabled bays.
I've absolutely no objection if they are there on an emergency call -
close space to door, quicker inside and all that.
Never seen them on emergency inside a supermarket at 3am though.

Our local Asda has turned out quite good for disabled bays. They have
been known to check the bays every so often.
Now if only they could stop disabled people blocking in other disabled
people....... :)
