What is the law for parking in handicapped spaces?

Question: I have a disability parking certificate that I can hang on my rearview mirror when parked in a handicap parking spot. I have done this for some time now and I recently got a ticket from the police officer for parking in a handicap van parking spot. Since I have a proper certificate, how can this be illegal?
