It doesn't matter who parked the car, if it's parked illegally the owner will get the ticket. Tell it to the judge.
IMO, this situation could have been handled better by the officers. You are considered detained in a traffic stop or when being issued a citation. So the driver was not allowed to leave. And the cop was telling him this and as a way to make him stop decided to place himself in front of the vehicle. Now doing that is not wrong or illegal, but it can be dangerous. Why put yourself at risk of some idiot trying to run you over for a parking ticket? Not a good move, especially when you already have his info. So they pull him out and cuff him, ok, but then he is just laying there in the street with cars driving by next to him? You have a guy in cuffs you are responsible for his safety, put him in the squad or sit him over on the sidewalk.
