Question about illegal parking

[Tommer]

I don't think Snake was in the wrong here.

Quote:However, the cop should have asked to move *before* doing !chase, since the accused hasn't technically done anything fine-able yet. Only if he fails to cooperate, a !chase would be necessary.

The above is something I don't think I've ever adhered to.

The way I've always seen it is if the suspect is illegally parked, even if I can't fine him for it, he is still breaking the law. Therefor, at the very least it warrants a warning, for which, like breaking any other law, the cop would pull you over to talk about before letting you go.

When a suspect commits an offence that I would warn him for, and then runs under !chase, I have never used !lost and a parking offence is no exception, in my opinion.

The instances where I would actually fine a user for illegal parking is when I have stopped to talk to them and they are either not there and can't agree to comply and move their vehicle, or they are there, and do not agree to comply with moving their vehicle. At which point I would then fine them.

Entertainingly, if they then pay their fine and stay there, well, there's literally nothing I can do about it since I can't fine them twice for the same thing. Meaning now that they've been fined they've essentially paid for the right to park there illegally indefinitely without being bothered with another fine, that is, ofcourse unless an admin !pitlane 's them.
