Cops are just like that, they close their eyes to what they want, but if they want to be shitty they will be regardless of the situation or person. I never had a problem with cops, on the other hand.
We have a curfew at 1pm now during weekends, which is exactly when my so is mostly available and he decided to meet me (ldr), he couldnt get a ticket the night before and the only one he could, would only get here at 2pm. I didnt had any issues going to pick him up, but as we were returning to my house, also kind of because my stupidity cause i knew for sure the cops would be there, of course we got stopped, he asked me what i was doing out of my city, i told him i had to pick up my so from the bus station, the dudes looks around the car, takes his time, he was really trying to be a bitch to me, but i kept my ground, then he told me "what? There isnt tram or bus to pick him up?", i was literally dumbfounded looking at him, holding my tongue so i would just get that shit over.
Basically if i go to by car ALONE, with a valid reason, i cant, i have to stay at home and most likely i will get a ticket, but if i go by public transportation, where theres a lot more people and a higher risk of catching the rone, i can do the fuck i want...make it make sense...
Theres also a bunch of illegal parking going around my old workplace because all the parking available is payed, unless you park your car a 10min walk away, cops knows this, they know people who work there park there because we didnt had any other options, yet from time to time, maybe once a month or when they feel like to, they go around the street putting a ticket on every car there. Literally there was a lot of people who worked there saying that it was cheaper to get a ticket from time fo time then to rent a parking spot there.
