Funny story that might make you feel better:-
I was walking down from work to the local shops through a pretty rough area when I noticed a police car parked half on a pavement and half on double yellow lines. A friend that I was walking with proceeded to have words in a very polite fashion with the "copper" involved. Something along the lines of "Excuse me I feel I should point out to you that you are committing a traffic offence". He was asked if he was trying to stir up trouble. He then pulled himself to full height and retorted "No but if I did that, YOU would issue me with a notice of offence. I can of course report you to your superiors and make trouble if you wish, or you could remove your vehicle and park it legally". The officer who was red faced and seething got into his car and drove off, but not before my friend took a photo of the car and it's position. This got sent off to the local rag who published it front page next day.
Always makes me smile when I think of the common man getting his own back that day!
