I was walking down the Embankment and noticed a series of unattended cars parked on a double red line. After a bit there were two police vans parked too. All this was outside the Ministry of Defence.

I suppose they're all police cars or official cars of some sort.

Wibbi the law was applied the same to all of us? So if it's illegal to park somewhere (or to speed, or whatever) the police and MoD staff were seen to respect the same laws as are enforced on the rest of us?

Alan notes: As you are well aware the law does not apply to the police because of the vital work they do in upholding the law, supporting the government and preventing dissent. Being permitted to speed and park where they like is a mere perk which no right thinking member of the public would resent. You could complain, but you would merely earn yourself the kicking which all whining liberals deserve.
