Balanced News: Photo of parking ranger’s car sparks disbelief – but it is perfectly legal

A parking inspector for the Boroondara City Council in Melbourne, Australia has caused controversy after appearing to break parking rules while handing out fines. A photo showed the inspector’s car parked in a loading zone, but it has been confirmed that council officers are allowed to park their vehicles in loading zones to perform their duties. A resident who had been fined for briefly stopping in a loading zone expressed disbelief at the inspector’s actions, but the council defended them, stating that it is legal for authorized officers to park in loading zones while performing enforcement duties.
