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.
Follow up: To whatever bootlicking idiot called PBOT and asked for enforcement on this block, it didn’t help. It made things worse just like I cautioned such actions do in the discussion below. They didn’t ticket the truck (Which was indeed parking in front of the stop sign this morning) but they did ticket just about every-other car parked on this street for non-street safety related things like parked wrong orientation, literal broken window, expired registration, etc. You probably cost my neighbors a few thousand dollars in combined citations for minor procedural issues, now everybody is miserable and the truck is still parked there. Please, never ever do that again. Your fantasy of calling law enforcement to fix all the problems is not what happens in real life. It doesn’t matter who they are, NEVER CALL THE COPS ON YOUR NEIGHBORS.
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!
Decepticon emblems?
What is this?
I am also interested in the connection to far right. Just did a search and didn’t find anything.
Here’s a reddit thread with some possible leads. Basically the Deception logo is commonly found along Trump and Qanon enthusiasts.

But even before all the recent political correlations, the Deception logo stood for oppression, enslavement, extreme violence and cruelty. Not exactly the most desirable qualities one would look for in law enforcement officers.
I may be a bit biased though. Both my cars have Autobot emblems 🤖
I’m 48 and that’s more cars than I’ve owned in my entire life.
Ticketed and towed.
Towed especially, ticket is just icing on the shit cake.
