    As with other laws, sometimes people will not follow them unless forced to do so. As a disability rights activist and someone with a disability, I have seen at times that the Americans with Disabilities Act is not followed until a person makes it an issue. Example: You need a place to stay, and for whatever reason the motel does not provide access for someone with a disability, and they cannot enter or exit safely. So you explain the law to the ower, and they still do not fix the problem – until you talk about getting the legal system involved. Things are improving because buildings are being made with the ADA in mind.
