Police chief gives himself ticket after watchdog citizen points out parking error
Where would we be without vigilante parking inspectors?
The police department in Groveland, Florida issues parking tickets to cars blocking the sidewalk — even if they're blocking it from their own driveway.
But Groveland resident David Bires noticed that police chief Melvin Tennyson had committed this vehicular faux pas, and posted photos of the offending park job to Facebook earlier this week.

Luckily, Chief Tennyson took the not-so-subtle hint. He wrote himself the appropriate ticket (for a $45 sidewalk violation), and the police department posted his receipt to Facebook.
What a thrilling crime story. Dick Wolf, thoughts?
