Traffic Wardens: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels]]'' has a traffic warden held prisoner by the criminals and beaten up, then recovered by the heroes -- whoheroes—who can't resist beating him up themselves.

* When Sergeant Colon and Corporal Nobbs found themselves in charge of the ''[[Discworld]]''-equivalent of this department, the over-zealous clamping policy went so far as to include ''buildings'' as targets, including the Opera House and the Patrician's Palace. It ''could'' be argued that buildings do impede the flow of traffic somewhat.... Of course, Colon is a reasonable man and recognizes that Vetinari was parked on business.<br />He's also willing to overlook the offense if the accused presents credible evidence of a free pint or meal. Possibly the best trick they pulled (subsequently busted by Vetinari) was for Nobby to disguise himself as an old woman and cross the road extremely slowly in front of oncoming traffic, getting people to stop long enough that Colon could ticket them.

* ''[[Harry and& Paul]]'' features Parking Pataweyo, a cross between [[Postman Pat]] and a traffic warden, who lies in wait to issue people with tickets the second their parking permit runs out. In Pataweyo's last sketch his colleague gives him a parking ticket on his day off.
