Nobody is above the law, not even people who work in law enforcement, especially not people who work for law enforcement. Not only are they not above it, but if they try to use their status to their favor, they should definitely not be getting away with those kinds of actions.

The main problem is, that not many people would be willing to stand up to people like that. It is not easy to stand in front of an officer and tell them that they are wrong, or that they are using their power for "bad". People who are brave enough to stand up and call out law enforcement people like that, definitely deserve some kind of award.

The resident in this story did just that when they encountered an entitled driver who kept parking in their private parking spot. At one point, the resident decided they had enough of that behavior, and blocked the entitled driver's car with his own, essentially preventing him from leaving. That led to quite a dispute when the driver returned to their car, realized he couldn't leave, and pulled out a badge to intimidate the resident into letting him drive off. Keep scrolling to see how that worked out for him…

    This part of Norway has nice summers and sometimes snow rich winters. I had two cars at that time and had to park along the street. That winter it was plenty of snow, and no public service that

    Having no idea who just took this place I showeled out one more parking space. Took car no 1 and parked 1 inch in front, and 2nd car just as tight in rear. Locked both cars and took pictures of this scene. Turns out later

    mickikittydoll Purchasing a traffic cone or two as a place holder should do the trick.

    RexRonny OP No, but the plow forced the snow onto the side and it were sometimes really solid and heavy to shovel. I needed to free about 2m wide and 12 m lengthwise to have room for two cars.

    In this street only me and another guy parked in the street, houses above this street had garages or private property. Hence why the plowman pushed snow onto

    my side of the street. And it came sometimes like 40 cm of snow in one day. The stack were similar to my height as they stacked all snow on my side.

    Future Direction5174 So you shovelled out a spot where your "day use" car was on the street, then moved your "spare car" (usually parked on your land) into the shovelled out street spot so no one else could use it? When you returned home,

    your "spare car" went back into your private drive, leaving the shovelled street space empty so you could park your "day car" there. And he didn't like you doing that? F: him.

    down already, take too much effort to de-ice both. Only daytime these were <<borrowed>> by someone looking for free parking

  • If you try to use the law in your favor, maybe be a little bit smarter than the officer here. He got what he deserved, and hopefully, he won't attempt to use this trick anymore. At least not anywhere near the brave resident who stood up to him.
