One day (on/around 6pm on Friday 28 March 2008) she decided to park in a no stopping zone, thus obstructing the view from the intersecting street, endangering pedestrian (she was exceptionally pedestrian, coincidentally) and driver alike.
It came to pass that fateful Friday that someone allegedly took a photo of the illegally parked car, shown below, and that was the end of the story. Or was it?
The perception of someone taking a photo reduced the danger to people in the suburb, for she must have felt compelled to move her emerald green ass, I mean mercedes, into a spot which was both licit and correct. The purpose of the photo gesticulation had worked. Public safety on the tough streets of Double Bay.
Alas, this was not the end. Upon walking to his alleged car, the alleged photographer (AP) was confronted by the overly made-up wench. "I saw you taking a photo of my car… what were you doing?" To which AP thought are you playing your own private game of Jeopardy? Protracted and heated conversation ensued. "I have two witnesses from the florist across the street that you took photos of my car. It is a breach of privacy!!!" So there were allegedly two people who saw an alleged person take alleged photographs of a car which resembles the one below, thus proving what? A breach of privacy, your honour… I THINK NOT. The AP thought that he couldn't defame the car even if he tried - and it would be Mercedes who may wish to bring such an action if it worked.
And then, out of the blue, this at-best N-list celebrity had the audacity to throw in a "Do you know who I am?" Here AP thought she didn't know what a rhetorical question was!!! AP believes that if he knew who she was, he would not even have given her the time of day and merely reported that DBW (double bay wench) had parked illegally again.
DBW demanded AP provide his driver's licence to her… for what purpose he knew not. She threatened to call the police, an idea which AP not only acceded to but lauded. Idle threats from a wannabe celeb. Sadly no police showed up.

Finally, the last straw was DBW allegedly took photos of AP's car (somehow a privacy breach can be matched by a subsequent privacy breach and they cancel eachother out - groundbreaking legal arguments unfamiliar to the author) and then a photo of AP himself.
The moral of the story… if you see a green Mercedes with licence plate ALR 19M, take a photo of the driver as you really ought know who she is.

How dare you place your illegal photos of my car on your schlepping website!
(I wish I knew the ins & outs of the law like you do)
Wouldn't it be fun if you could name the driver?
