Do you actually think that this officer was parked there in such an obvious place for no real reason.
The car was off the main highway as much as possible and not blocking the pavement, so no real issue to anyone apart from the usual cop haters who comment without knowing the full story.
Yes if there was no reason and it was just gratuitious thats fair enough; but I would suspect that the officer was responding/dealing with a situation. In such circumstanes it is legal to park an emergency vehicke in such a way. The only road signs that emergency vehicles dint have an exemption for are double white line systems and keep left bollards. All actions in contravention if signs however must be safe and justified if questioned.
Contact the police and question the parking if you feel the need to but dont go around with part of a story trying to discredit those that are in the main working hard to keep you safe. Such reports only suggest you have been the wrong side of the law and bear a bitter grudge otherwise.
Interesting. I never knew emergency vehicles don't have an exemption for keep left bollards. This surprises me because I regularly see them driving to the right of them, which can often help them progress rapidly when there is a traffic jam in the directing they are going but the opposite way is clear.
As for the parking, you're correct that we have no idea if the police were parked here because there was an emergency but the police really don't help themselves by regularly parking illegally whilst they get some food or go shopping.
