McDonald's. While a crime against food, it is not actually against the law.

Quite agree with this part

Give it up.  You're wrong.  English police break the law casually as seen in the photos.  Bye bye.

So it was a collection brought back to the vehicle?

Legally then, the vehicle is not parked but loading. That's only illegal on double reds.

Here is a reader comment to show you just how full of malarkey the police in England can be:

Who would believe that?  It's legal to drive on the pavement (sidewalk here)?

I mean the quote is gibberish so not entirely sure what point they're trying to make.

More than 200 serving police officers in the UK have convictions for criminal offences including assault, burglary, drug possession and animal cruelty,

off the 200 noted 99 were from NI - a very high portion. 

Although some people forget it, Northern Ireland is part of the UK and its police are UK police. 

In fact historically police in NI have gone much further than assault and burglary.

I think that the quote shows that police will even make things up about the law while breaking it to make their actions seem legit.

So any old lorrie driver can do the same as long as he comes out with some coffee for his friends eh?  No badge required.  It's not something he did because he knew he wasn't going to write himself a ticket?   I'm sorry, even in England the police are not saints.  Took a while to peel that bandage off for you, it was really stuck on well.

not surprising,  mindset of people who become cops is often abusive, and violent, that is why they want position of power in a first place,  same in usa, same in russia, and i'm sure the rest of the world.  imagine if NI cops were as protected as ours, they'd be killing as many people as our cops,

Glad you think so. Actually it's British law that's amazing as it generally follows common sense. A novelty in legal systems.

On the flip side, I have found one law those officers may have broken for you.

There is nothing illegal in where they are stopped. You can see any number of delivery vans stopped in the exact same way all over the country. Even having 2 wheels on the pavement is fine.

However, it is illegal to drive with wheels on the pavement. So you can legally park like that, provided you stop on the road, pick up your car and put it on the pavement.

 

 

 

 

 

This law is never enforced.
