Emhoff was running errands on Wednesday in the Westside neighborhood of Brentwood when his two-vehicle motorcade barred the accessible parking for roughly 20 minutes, a witness explained.
As Emhoff did some shopping at Whole Foods, photos of the incident show the two black Chevrolet Suburbans bearing Department of Homeland Security plates parked diagonally across a parking space designated for people with disabilities.
Emhoff, who shares a house with Vice President Kamala Harris in Brentwood, was escorted by two agents as he left Whole Foods with his groceries.

Outside the Whole Foods, the second gentleman explained to an onlooker that he was "doing good" as he walked to the waiting motorcade and hopped in the back of one of the waiting SUVs.
One of the Secret Service vehicles briefly activated its lights and sirens as the SUVs zipped away from the Whole Foods parking lot.

A Secret Service spokesman told DailyMail.com in an announcement: "Due to the need to maintain operational security, the U.S. Secret Service does not comment on the means or methods used to conduct our protective operations."
Emhoff's spouse Harris has been a vocal advocate for people with disabilities and recently met with disability advocates at a round-table to discuss the potential impact of the Supreme Court's ruling rolling back guarantees on abortion access.

At the event, Harris even took care to use inclusive language meant to help people with visual impairment, stating in her introduction: "I am Kamala Harris. My pronouns are 'she' and 'her.' I am a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit."
Emhoff, who is the first second gentleman in US history, has been married to Harris since 2014, and has two children from his first marriage.
While the vice president and her husband officially reside in the Naval Observatory in Washington DC, they further maintain homes in San Francisco and LA's upscale Brentwood neighborhood.
