I'll have to ask the cop up the street whose family regularly parks their personal cars facing the wrong way his thoughts.
If the driver were not with the vehicle then, yes, the cop could have ticketed the vehicle. But the driver was there so the driver, not the car, was going to be ticketed, if the cop was going to give him one instead of just a warning. He probably could have gotten away without a ticket, or arrest, if he had simply shown his DL.
Maybe it is good for you to consult that cop, and read a DMV handbook while you're at it.
It’s a stupid rule that police use to mess with you.
Seems like every law people disagree with is "stupid". This mob mentality is out of control, if you don't like the law then organize and petition to have it changed, it happens all the time. But there's no point to laws or an orderly society if laws are not enforced.
The reason you can't park on the wrong side is because it's dangerous. You need to move into the oncoming lane to park there , and when you pull out you risk a head on collision
The "Stop and ID law" is for random people just walking around. This guy was not just randomly walking around, he was at his Amazon truck parked on the wrong side of the street.
You also misunderstand "crime". It doesn't have to be something big like burglary, it can be as simple as parking on the wrong side of the street. Is that legal? No. Guess what that makes it?
Just like speeding - it isn't murder, it's not theft, but it's still a crime. It's not legal. That's why people get pulled over, and can get tickets, which have fines. Because it's a crime. We call it "violation", but it's still a crime.
Seriously? This is common sense. Which way does traffic go on that side of the street? That's the way your front end should be pointing.
It's not a "stupid rule" just because you don't like it. It prevents people from pulling out into oncoming traffic and causing an accident.
JC, did no one here take driver's ed?
As for Mr. Big Shot, had he not argued with the cop and walked away, the cop, more than likely would have just told him not to park there and it would have been over with. But no, he had to run his mouth and walk off like he was a teenager dealing with his mother.
My entire quote was taken from MI law. If you disagree, bring it up with them.

Parking the wrong way is a Parking Violation, the vehicle is ticketed. The officer simply could have handed the driver the ticket.

It doesn't work that way, sorry. The officer was not Parking Enforcement or HOA security. An officer observes someone break the law with their vehicle it's the officer's right and duty to get your license, registration, insurance information.

If someone isn't letting you do whatever you want they're racist

Or you could learn to understand what you're reading. You need to learn what "Stop and ID" means before trying to use it in this scenario, because it doesn't work in this scenario.

They think if they resist the authority should acquiesce and back down, probably because they were raised that way by permissive parents and schools. I think teachers should be allowed to beat down a kid who hits them, but they are not even allowed to defend themselves if attacked in their own classroom. Colleges let them run wild and teach them up is down. Employers let them get away with way too much, when they refuse to defer to their superiors.
These kids/now adults can't believe anyone, not the police, not anyone, would dare take action against them. If someone does, they are racist or sexist or anything they can come up with to vilify the person who finally gave them a dose of reality.
I would say to a punk- You MAY resist the police, but don't complain about the consequences of that choice, and certainly don't be "shocked" if a cop takes you down to arrest you, regardless of how minor the original infraction might have been. You should be afraid, because police are too trigger happy lately and it isn't worth the risk. It can be avoided, you provide your license or ID, take your ticket and go on your way. Sometimes you won't even get a ticket if you act like a civilized adult. But it is your choice to take the other road, just don't complain like a little jellyfish victim when you make things worse for yourself.
