Illegal Parking
At about 16.00
hours on Wednesday, 15 April 2009, Mr.
James Watson aged 40 attended the police station Number "10" at 14 Miami street to make a complaint. He
met Captain Molar the station commander and stated that
at about 07.30 hours while he was accompanying
his son Patrick
6 years old to the school, a police Ford
transit van license number K-L9687 was parked illegally at the front of "Oven Fresh
"bakery at 28 Liberty Road. The vehicle was completely blocking the
pavement and not allowing pedestrians to pass.
Because of the blocked pavement by the police
van, Mr. James Watson and his son had to cross
Liberty Road where they were in imminent danger due to the rushing vehicles.
They tried to cross the road three times. The first time, they did not manage to cross
the road because Patrick's
school bag dropped on
the ground. When Patrick
stopped to pick it up, a blue bus license
number L-A 2283 was speeding towards
them. The second time, Mr. Watson stumbled on the pavement. The
third time, while Mr. Watson and his son were crossing the road, a red and white truck license number S-K
2563 was about to hit the son. Mr.
Watson pulled Patrick and they both
managed to pass safely. He stopped at the opposite side of the
road and took "10" pictures of
the police van. The pictures clearly illustrated the wrong position of the
police vehicle. It showed that the police van was parked 2 feet on the pavement
totally surpassing the yellow line. Moreover, the parking was right next to a
sign stating that parking wasn't allowed there.
At
about 16.25 hours, the duty officer submitted a report of
the status of the police vehicle which was involved in the situation. The
vehicle was allocated to patrol team "Delta".
The patrol team leader was Officer Kress and his assistant was Officer
John. Friendly, Captain Molar apologized to Mr. Watson on behalf of the police
station staff. Officially, Captain Molar promised him that fair and firm
disciplinary procedures would be taken if somebody proved guilty.
At about 17.00 hours on Wednesday, 15 April 2009, officer Kress arrived at police station
number" 10"
to get interviewed about the complaint. Officer Kress said that he and his buddy team John at about.
06.45

breakfast which was wrong parking because there was no other free space to park. They stayed about 15
minutes inside the bakery having breakfast. Both Kress and John were punished
