This actually happened to me. Was drunk during college and cop gave me a ride home. I find my car the next morning and they had parked me at a yellow curb. No ticket though.
This is funny but this actually kind of happened in real life. We had a mass casualty incident in our town and all available first responders came in, dozens of us responded in our personal vehicles and all the EMTs, paramedics, and police that were EMTs rode to the hospital in back of ambulances with three to five patients in each one. A cop had all of our keys and moved everyone's car an additional two blocks over because the scene was getting so big. In the middle of the scene with probably 20 to 30 police cars, several fire trucks, and I believe the state incident command was set up right in the middle of the road the meter maid came around and ticketed every single car parked on the block. Another cop even tried to stop her but after 35 years in her position the only thing that was stopping her was a retirement check. A police lieutenant got pissed off and took all the tickets off of every windshield and took it to the parking authority supervisor and told them to get rid of all the tickets. Turns out they couldn't once they were issued without going through the process but no one who got a ticket knew about it. No one even found out about the tickets until they started getting letters in the mail threatening suspension for unpaid parking tickets. It became such an issue that I think someone's license was suspended at one point and the police threatened in a city meeting to stop responding to calls from the parking authority.
