What are the responsibility of a parking officer?

Question

what is there job

Answer 1

Revenue collection. Police cars, ambulances, fire engines, hearses, the disabled - no problem. Raise your voice to one (especially in Westminster) and it is "racism" (the ideal 'card' to play.) There was an incident lately, involving an African Traffic Warden and a Middle Eastern motorist. The 'victim' got a parking ticket, to which he took serious exception. Followed the TW on foot, questioning his 'family tree' (and in no uncertain terms!)  All of a sudden the TW stops, and, pushes his 'tormentor' (ever so lightly.) The motorist dramatically drops to the floor, 'bellowing' like a 'wounded buffalo' at the same time. He then dials 999 on his 'mobile' and gives his 'location.' The Police attend, and, the TW gets arrested for assault. Ends up losing his job, and, the motorist has the PCN cancelled, and, is awarded 'compensation.' Not a bad result. Rumour has it that the sacked TW has since joined the Army, and, is serving, somewhere in the Middle East!!

Answer 6

To ensure that people aren't illegally parked for the benefit of all road users.  I was parked in a disabled spot today (for which I have a badge) in a Sainsburys car park.  When I came out of the store to go home, some egotistical idiot with a big flash car had parked right across my egress route.  I had to limp back into the store to have him moved.  I think we should have them in car parks as well.
