The cops will only respond if the owner of the property calls them (at least here). My wife used to work at a convenience store where the owner routinely parked in the handicapped spot (his only handicap was mental) because he knew he would never get a ticket (unless he called in on himself). I used to see cops drive in and out of the store and never take a second look at his car even when he was carrying boxes of merchandise from the store to his trunk.

I hope it's not that way everywhere.
I'm not sure what the laws are around here in that regard. I've seen the cops issue and tow without the owner being around though. A picture of the car parked under the handicapped sign sent to the local paper or TV news might be one way of lighting a fire under their butts...
