TikToker Gives Police Officer A 'Parking Ticket' For Parking On Sidewalk—And It Backfires Hard

Ticketing police officers for their minor infractions is one of those TikTok trends that has the potential to go really, really, poorly.

But when it goes well—though not necessarily as planned as you'll see later—people tend to love the encounters.


TikTok user @devonwilldoit posted video showing his perspective during his attempt to ticket an officer.

In the clip, we see Devon walk up to an officer's vehicle and knock on it to hand the officer a handwritten parking ticket. The officer's cruiser is parked across the sidewalk, an offense dubbed "Janky Parking" by Devon.

As the officer rolls down his window, Devon launches into his speech:

"Evening Officer, do you know why I stopped you today? Illegal parking. Citizens arrest. Oh how the turn tables have turned!"

The officer takes the "ticket" from Devon, scans it and responds by playfully roasting Devon into oblivion.

He sighs "Oh... this is a disaster" and begins pointing out the spelling errors.

Devon excuses them as a product of his dyslexia.

The officer continues, pointing out Devon has written the fee incorrectly—placing the dollar sign after the numbers rather than before. At this point, he pulls a pen from his pocket as if to start making corrections on the ticket and asks who Devon's English teacher is.

Devon gives up his teachers name and the officer dryly, but playfully, responds:

"I'm gonna go pay her a visit."

Devon laughs "goddamnit!" before ending the video.

The clip has wracked up an impressive number of views and has people in the comments cracking up.

Most people found the brief interaction cute and funny, pointing out this is likely a school resource officer who has a friendly relationship with these kids.

They saw a wholesome moment.

That set off red flags for some folks.

John Hinckley Jr. Shares New Message For Jodie Foster 45 Years After Shooting Ronald Reagan To Impress Her

Some Hollywood stories fade with time. The disturbing history connecting Jodie Foster and John Hinckley Jr. is not one of them. For those who don’t know, on March 30, 1981, Hinckley waited outside the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C., where President Ronald Reagan had just addressed 5,000 members of the AFL-CIO.

As Reagan emerged from the hotel, Hinckley fired six shots from a revolver. One bullet ricocheted off Reagan’s limousine and struck him beneath his arm. White House Press Secretary James Brady, police officer Thomas Delahanty and Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy were also wounded.

Journalist Reveals Just How Much Money Has Been Diverted From National Parks For Trump's Vanity Projects—And People Are Livid

In a series of articles for MacFarlane News and MeidasTouch, videos, and an appearance on CNN, Chief Washington Correspondent for MeidasTouch Scott MacFarlane blew the whistle on MAGA Republican President Donald Trump’s raiding of National Park Service (NPS) funds. Aided by his Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Trump diverted NPS money to pay for all of his White House and Washington D.C. vanity projects.

Trump’s hand-selected, mostly unwanted and unnecessary White House grounds and National Mall projects—things like a botched reflecting pool resurfacing, golden decor, a helipad, a ballroom, gilded statues, and giant flagpoles—alone took $423 million from major national parks across the country.
