28 CFR ยง 36.302(f)(8) says,

> Investigation of fraud. A public accommodation may investigate the potential misuse of accessible seating where there is good cause to believe that such seating has been purchased fraudulently.

I don't know if there are any remedies available beyond civil tort and contract money damages, nor what the applicable criminal statute would be, if any. Seems like a complex area of law, but from reading bits of legal commentary dredged up with Google I get the impression that the government is deliberately erring on the side of reducing friction for the legitimately disabled and are well aware of the unintended consequence of increased fraud.

This happens in the concert scene. I was in a fan community where there was a spill of drama over someone feigned a disablement to get disabled seating tickets. They were outed and it was messy.
