Hmmm but what if the owner actually drove around the block and ended up in the same parking spot? In the time-frame between council car does the checking...

what if you did that with chalk on your tyre....

Chalk your own tyres and everyone elses.

US law rather than NZ, and ties into the US constitution and it's 4th amendment (unreasonable search and seizure), but topical and potentially still relevant as I understand that the US is still a Common Law based legal system so it's precedents can be relevant under some circumstances.
