Won't this make it harder to prove handicap placard fraud on the spot?

I had my hangtab stolen; I wasn't really happy about my information being on it.

DMV has it on record if a cop wants to challenge it.

Good point. As someone with an invisible disability who has (at times) needed a placard, I'd hate to be challenged on a regular basis. I felt some comfort in having basic info on it. But I do see your point.
