It's a fair cop! Moment traffic warden gives a ticket to a police car after it overstayed in car park

Dozens of onlookers applaud as the South Yorkshire Police vehicle was issued with a penalty notice at West Pier in Scarborough, North Yorkshire

A TRAFFIC warden who gave a police car a ticket for overstaying at a seafront car park was applauded by dozens of onlookers.

Stunned passers-by looked on in amazement as the South Yorkshire Police vehicle was issued with a penalty notice at West Pier in Scarborough, North Yorkshire.

Artist Graham Rhodes said there were cheers and clapping when the warden - after some hesitation - eventually booked the vehicle on Thursday afternoon.

He said it was unclear why the officers had failed to return before their time was up.

But last night South Yorkshire Police said the ticket was a mistake and had been cancelled because emergency vehicles were permitted on the car park.


Which would have been my understanding of it, funny though the story and situation was. The Traffic warden should surely know it isn't a leisure car, that is business and they would be allowed to park there, they might have been with a victim of a crime or whatever.
 
Fair does though.

But it seems it was rescinded because, as South Yorkshire Police pointed out "Emergency Vehicles were permitted on the car park"........ What?! What was the emergency then? Fish and Chips from the local chippy?....

 
Scarborough is in North Yorkshire so what were South Yorkshire police doing there?
