I just wrote a police officer a ticket
So today I saw a police officer parked in a yellow "no parking zone" But he wasn't responding to an emergency, He was at a 7-11 and he walked out with a big gulp.
He was abusing his status as a police officer. And this is how I am about to knock him down a level for it.
I live in Oregon. In Oregon it is a little known fact that you don't have to be a police officer, or a parking attendant to write someone a parking ticket. [url=http://www.leg.state.or.us/ors/153.html]See ORS 153.058[/url]
Now back to the story. as the officer was coming out as soon as I saw that he was parked illegally I took a picture of him ( as he was coming out holding his big gulp, and of his car parked illegally. AND of him getting into his car.
This is all of the evidence that I need to issue him a citation.
I went on down to the police station and initiated the proceedings of filing the citation. Filled out his ticket, and took it down to the court house as per the instructions. At the courthouse I gave the nearly-finished ticket to the clerk who found an available court date. And then signed the ticket. And took an oath that the information was correct.
This police officer is now going to receive the ticket in the mail with his court date. I will also be going to this court date where I will be presenting the photographic evidence of his illegal parking. He will have no excuse.
tl;dr I wrote a police officer a ticket, and now he must appear in court.
UPDATE: 500 replies w00t, I will be posting the pictures AFTER the court date. Due to legal/security reasons.

Makes me sad.[/quote] The guy sits in a car for 8 hours or more a day, and makes a quick stop to get a drink, parks in the a "No Parking" because there aren't any nearby parking spots, and God only knows when he'll get a chance to get a drink, and Mr.Citizen-Of-The-Year decided that he should spend half a day bringing him to justice, for what reason? Because he parked in a no parking zone. Please, stop debating , and examine this. Why. In God's name. Would the cop. Deserve. To be. Fined. For parking. In an empty parking spot. Long enough to get a drink. This isn't a debate. The facts are, the man did nothing wrong. In all probability he was there for less than 3 minuets. Funk gets the Tool of the Month award, and he's in the top 3 for Tool of the year. The OP isn't a hero, he isn't "doing his civic duty", he's wasting time, and money, on a frivolous venture that probably has something to do with daddy issues.[/quote]Anybody else would get fined for doing the same thing.
