Q: So when you do your grocery shopping, you pull into a marked parking space, correct?
A: Yes.
Q: And do you normally back in, or drive into the spot?
A: (Becoming more relaxed) Normally nose in so I can access my trunk.
Q: Makes sense. Lets say you haven't bought groceries in a while, so you'll be getting a lot today... are you ever afraid your battery will die because of the hazard lights?
A: No.
Q: No because you don't leave them on, or no because you have a really strong battery?
A: Because I don't turn them on.
Q: Why not?
A: Because I'm in a parking space.
Q: Sorry, that makes sense... so when you legally park, there is no need for them.
A: Correct.
Q: No further questions.
Brilliant on the prosecutor's part, too bad he only gets to do his job when the police (and the powers that be whom instruct them) do theirs.
