Default Parking Brake adjustment

Anyone know how to adjust the handle style parking brake? when the car is in drive and the parking brake is fully pulled the car still moves and will not pass inspection. Any help please.

You can pull up on the lever 3 times to take the slack out of the cable. You have to remove the rear rotors and turn the star brake pad adjuster nut to truly adjust the parking brake.
