A person to whom privileges were granted shall, at the request of a police officer or any other person invested by law with authority to direct, control or regulate traffic, present an identification card with a picture as verification that the person is the person to whom the special registration plates, special decal or device was issued.

2. It shall be unlawful for an individual with a vehicle displaying a person with disabilities license plate or parking decal or device issued to a disabled person to park in a space designated for persons with disabilities if the individual is not the authorized holder of a person with disabilities license plate or parking decal or device and is not transporting the authorized holder of a person with disabilities license plate or parking decal to or from the parking location and the person uses the person with disabilities license plate or parking decal or device to exercise any privileges granted through the person with disabilities license plates or parking decals as set forth in subsection A of this section.
