Saw a sheriff's car parked improperly today. It was less than 10 feet
from a stop sign. We are all usually ticketed for parking too close to
a stop sign.

First, there is the visibility issue: being able to see the sign and
to see the intersection clearer.

Second, there is the clearance issue: At a stop sign we are supposed
to pull towards the curb as we stop so that cars turning onto that
street have room to get by without us blocking their egress.

The way this sheriff had parked his car, I was forced to take up the
other side of this narrow street. No one came, however. But it just
dawned on me that some cops "cop out" in laziness and just park
anywhere they please, no matter the menace they may be to other
people's driving. If I had more time, I would have called the state
police to see if they would come and ticket this sheriff for illegally
parking within a distance too close to a stop sign, just to see what
would happen.
