20 Lazy Cops

Cops are easy targets for ridicule. Especially inept ones. So we should feel bad about making fun of them, right? Wrong. Not even when it comes to parking cops, who serve as the default butt of mockery among their superiors in law enforcement (read: anyone else with a badge). It’s no wonder they’re so ornery with folks picking on them all the time. And for the perfect embodiment of parking-cop angst, look no further than Verne “Don’t Call Me Mini Me” Troyer in the hilarious trailer for “Undercover Parking Ticket Agent”. This depiction of law enforcement, of course, conjures no feelings of pity. Rather, it kind of makes us want to keep making fun of cops. Thus, we present you with a look at some truly lazy officers of the law. See if you can identify the parking brass among them, then point them out in the comments section below. Be careful, though. Verne might be reading.

1. Hobocop

A school security guard takes a barefoot snooze. Don’t worry, parents: your kids are safe. He’s armed. You just can’t see it.

2. The Cliché

Doesn’t get much more classic than this. To be fair, though, maybe they’re investigating a donut heist.

3. Lazy Latvian Law Enforcement

The Monday morning speed trap.

4. Security, Segway Style

Because let’s face it: walking is exhausting. And endurance is key when you’re a mall cop.

5. Shanghai Sleeper

Whoops. Caught red-handed, pal. Fortunately, those computer covers do a stellar job of disguising the Apple II GS arsenal from thieves.

6. Hot Dog Cop

Police work will never stand in the way of a photo op with a childhood hero.

7. Loitering in NYC

Just puttin’ out the vibe. No big deal.

8. Egyptian Apathy

“Nothing we could be doing to help in there, right?”

“Nope. Looks ship shape to me.”

9. The Deyang Van Nap
No shame.

10. Alley Patrol in Moscow

Not pictured: Man in middle of circle doing the Cossack (a.k.a Crazy Russian Squat-Kick Dance).

11. Slow Crime Day in Italy

The Leaning Coppers of Pisa?

12. Bench Duty in India

Citizen watchdogs cover a shift for a friendly officer.

13. The Starbucks Sesh

Chances are this is not a work-related meeting. And they do not look happy about it being captured on film.

14. The Stakeout

Sorry, No Vacancy.

15. Sunk In The Trunk

Same car as above. Main sleeping quarters occupied.

16. The Heart to Heart

Captain’s chair. Nice.

17. The Lawn Blanket

This is no accidental nap, folks. Note the undone holster and removed shoes.

18. Bench Patrol, pt. II

She’s not sleeping. Just thinking really hard.

19. Best. Speed Trap. Ever.

Must not be a double-sided sign.

20. The Grand Finale

Well at least they’re not in public. Oh, wait.
