Revise your statement.

Well I actually was interested in the legalities of this, so I did some research with the Ohio BMV online laws.

Here they are,
" PARKING
A vehicle must be parked facing the direction of traffic on that side of the street, parallel to and not more than 12 inches from the right curb. On one-way streets, vehicles may be parked parallel to and not more than 12 inches from the right or left curb. Local ordinances permit angle parking in some jurisdictions.
Stopping, Parking or Standing Prohibited
No person shall stop, park or stand a vehicle in any of the following places, except when necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic, or in compliance with the directions of a law enforcement officer or traffic control device:
1. On a sidewalk (except a bicycle)
2. In front of a public or private driveway
3. Within an intersection
4. Within 10 feet of a fire hydrant
5. On a crosswalk
6. Within 20 feet of a crosswalk or intersection
7. Within 30 feet of a flashing beacon, stop sign or traffic-control signal
8. Between a safety zone and the adjacent curb or within 30 feet of points
on the curb immediately opposite the ends of a safety zone, unless the
traffic authority indicates a different length by signs or markings
9. Within 50 feet of the nearest rail of a railroad crossing
10. Beside or opposite a street excavation or obstruction when such parking
would obstruct traffic
11. Alongside a vehicle stopped or parked at the edge or curb of a street
12. On a highway bridge or within a highway tunnel
13. At any place where signs prohibit parking
14. Within one foot of another parked vehicle
15. On a roadway portion of a freeway, expressway or thruway"


It seems that according to Ohio Law there is no jackass way to park that is illegal OTHER THAN PARKING WITHIN 1 FOOT OF ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE.


I can't believe it either actually but the Scion could have been cited for this... Obviously this is 100% up to the officer but according to the law in Ohio the scion was the one that should receive an infraction.
