Free Parking

(Fox News) - There have been some court rulings in Europe that you might find interesting.

The Daily Mail reports a man in East London who refused to pay four parking tickets successfully sued police, claiming emotional distress was inflicted when the city sent someone to collect the fines. So when the cops didn't pay their damages, he sent bailiffs to the precinct to seize the cops' computers. The police quickly paid up and eventually won on appeal.

And a Swedish newspaper reports that a suspected drunk driver claimed upon being stopped by police that his car had actually been driven by a Swedish cartoon character named "Skybert" — who of course is the secret friend of the wildly popular character named Alfie Atkins.

He won. And now he's suing for loss of income during the six months his drivers license was suspended.
