The picture was just supposed to be ironic/funny. That being said, I cropped it down and if you saw the whole thing you would realize he is parked on a street curb with no businesses across the street. Just a parking lot. I am sure he is writing a report, eating lunch, napping or sexting. Whatever. It is not a big deal to me and I don't think anyone should be "reported to their supervisor." Which is why I shopped out his license plate. Because some idiot would have called it in. That being said, in this day and age of cell phone cameras and the internet, I would think taking a few seconds to say "Hmmmm... Maybe I shouldn't park right under this sign." might be smart.

I guess in Louisiana if you are a BRPD officer you are above the law which is a huge issue.

BRPD officers think they are above the law. I seen a motorcycle officer run a redlight almost causing an accident at Sherwood Forest and I-12 to go eat lunch with his buddies. Watched the officer get off his unit and walk in the restaurant with his buddies to eat. I guess that is an emergency.

Then back in the early 1990's an officer was parking on Goodwood in the media not on official police business and when a homeowner complained that above the law BRPD officer arrested her. It was dropped after the media and chief back then caught wind of it.

We really need to elect a strong sheriff to put the BRPD back in their place inside the city limits.

This is outside his jurisdiction which if there was an emergency another dept would be called to handle the situation.
