In Spain, the Police are also allowed to give you a clip round the ear and shout at you, and if they don't like your attitude, you get a slap from them too. Old skool Policing.
As for the UK, take the story in the newspaper beginning of the week. Woman reported to Thames water of a water leak from the mains on Friday night, they come out, don't bother cordoning off the area and go away.
Skip lorry comes to collect a skip by the burst main, pulls in front of the skip, road subsides, front wheel trapped, lorry is well and truly stuck, so along comes a Traffic Warden, and TICKETS the lorry driver, leaving the driver and the company to go fight the ticket in court.... I mean.... that's what you get when you have people paid a bonus for ticketing.
