In defence of the traffic wardens/baliffs, they were following the letter of the law.
This man parked in designated disabled parking spaces, without the badge that would have entitled him to do so.
As reported, if he sometimes needs the use of a wheelchair, and should have qualified for a blue badge, that is a different matter.
As far as I know traffic wardens aren't medically qualified, and able to diagnose whether someone without the legal right to use a disabled parking space, fulfils the requirements set down in law.
