‘Heroic’ Parking Bust Criticized. . . : . . .but ‘Scofflaws’ Take Lumps Too
“Scofflaw: flouting the law”--Webster’s.
These scofflaws not only flouted the law, but they did so with very selfish motives: They also, in flouting the law, very selfishly deprived other motorists of the right to park in the obviously crowded Malaga Cove shopping plaza.
Their acts, while not criminal, were offenses against society as a whole--and they justly deserve whatever punishment the courts mete out.
Inconsiderate, selfish people comprise the greater number of scofflaws, whose only interests are self-interests . . . and the public be damned.
Kudos to the law enforcement officers who took the necessary steps to insure fairness overall.
