I already had the police come out and talk to me because I was taking pictures of the vehicle parked on the sidewalk in front of Laurier's police station. They were very concerned that I would publish the photo, and questioned why I was touching the car (I had folded in the mirror as I had to walk around it).
They came out and questioned me, and I had to explain twice that the car was parked illegally and that was a problem for me.
Uhm... and you told them that taking photos in a public location is legal as is publishing them?
I certainly did, and their response was "we know that, but we strongly urge you not to post it".
I didn't, but frankly, the attitude coloured my opinion of them further. They were more interested in their reputation than they were about the fact that a delivery vehicle driver was endangering my, and dozens of other's of people's safety.
