This is not out in some rural town. This is in Portland, OR about 2 miles from downtown. Personal vehicles this large are simply incompatible with urban living and pressure their owners to continually break traffic law. Technically that Miata is parked as close to the stop sign as it can legally be, but as the Denali doesn't fit in many places around here it's owner is compelled to park across both the stop sign and the crosswalk.

Call the police. Get their ass ticketed. That shit is illegal for a reason. Going to get someone killed.

I'm a vendor who works at a local jail, and I can almost park my Japanese import under the officer's stupidly oversized maga trucks. But that doesn't blow my mind. You know what does? A sworn officer whose civic duty is to serve and protect the public, badging his car on all sides with giant Decepticon emblems...so yeah, before you call the popo about big bad trucks parking illegally, find out what they drive!
