Cheeky bast sod...

I got a ticketed warning a while back for parking over a dropped kerb. (Jobsworthy "Community Enforcement Officer" issued it.)

Is it a case one rule for us and another for them? It's understandable if there was an emergency and nowhere else to park, but there was ample room elsewhere and he just casually parked and strolled off... pure ignorance?

He's parked about 6 miles out from the kerb as well, he's probably blocked the road.

Ring the police tell them some is blocking your drive, don't mention it's a police car though.

Our Boys In Blue being naughty, I don't believe it.

Anyone see this ?

 . . . . . but I also think that there's something strange or maybe provocative about a cyclist wearing a camera on his head.

Yes and know. I think they probably do it as a deterrent then if that fails as a means of collecting evidence. I think they need to as well. From the point of view of a runner, pedestrian, occasional cyclist and fire engine driver, car drivers are the worst, wanting to go from a to b without hindrance, thought or care for anyone else.

I've even considered getting a dash cam as a car driver, the standard of driving and peoples attitudes and disregard for the law and common sense, and total ignorance of the highway code is atrocious.
