cane fraud


faking the appearance of a disability by walking with or carrying a cane when not needed.

common and easy to pull off because canes are cheap, and can cost under $10.

usually done for the following reasons:
-to gain sympathy from onlookers
-to get a physician to declare one disabled
-to obtain a handicapped parking permit
-to be given priority in line or obtain priority seating reserved for the disabled (such as on a bus or train)
-to use electric shopping carts reserved for the disabled when in reality too lazy to walk
-to fraudulently obtain various disability benefits such as discounts or government handouts
