You'll enjoy this: Here's evidence that not even the might of Google permits it to park vehicles from its Orwellian Opel spycar fleet in reserved doctor spots:

Police dine Street View car for parking in reserved doctor spot

Good work there by a vigilant Adam Ranshaw, and indeed the Boys in Blue, who apparently slapped the search monolith with a fine and a ticking-off for the violation in London's Long Lane

It's also beers all round for Simon West and his mates, who've been able to provide the first shaky video footage of the black hatchback doing its masters' dark will in Cambridge's Cherry Hinton last Saturday:

Meanwhile, our Google Maps web 0.2 mashup now boasts added sightings of the Street View fleet, including evidence that Aberdeen has fallen to the invading forces:

Reserved parking for doctors?

WTF! The handicapped parking here in the US is already bad enough but you guys have sunk to a new low with that one.

At least it gives those cameras on every street corning something to watch. "Hey, you there! Yeah, the bloke who just got out of the car parked in the DOCTOR spot. Hold up your General Practitioner license to the camera! What, no license!?!? Stand there and wait while we send someone to write you up."

it is also not against the law to take photos of gov. buildings, so long as you are on public property.
