One rule for us, one rule for them.

Here we have a blue "undercover" cop car (read that as "surprise revenue collection service") sitting right on the corner of Spence Street and the Cairns Central Entrance.



Now if I had parked there, I would have copped a fine, I forget, can we still do citizen's arrests in this country? How about a citizen's revenue collection service?


According to the Queensland Transport website and Sections 170 and 175 of the Queensland Road Rules, this car was clearly in the wrong. The area in red on the above map is a "no parking" area, as designated by the act.

It is also bloody hard to drive around people sitting there when you are trying to get into Cairn Central.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
