Camera car on double yellow lines

Question

Almost every day I drive past a Lambeth "Smart" car with a camera, which is always parked on a double yellow line try to catch drivers stopping in a box junction, and the restrictions clearly state no stopping between 8am and 6pm. The car is parked there at 5pm therefore outside the allowed times, is this legal?

Answer 1

phhhht... cops don't have to obey the law!

Answer 2

To add to the above answer........and why do cops always speed and run lights for no reasons...........they are above the law....

Answer 3

I appreciate the irony of the situation.  That alone makes the question worth while.  

The answer depends where you are located.  But if you have a local parking enforcement people, it is probably legitimate for them to park.  More often the question is: do they have the authority to write a ticket!
