Well yeah, I don't have a problem with that when the need arises, but
when the plod is just dropping into the school as in this case there was
hardly a need for it. They could hae just parked in the free space a few
metres down the road but instead decided to save themselves the walk.
They should be setting an example, not taking the piss.
