Unfortunately stuff like this happens too often. There seems to be a misunderstanding about the police role.
If the role it to raise money through fines, than anything that prevents that is illegal.
OTOH, most of us agree that the role of the police is to discourage illegal activity. In that case, anybody reminding folks to obey the law (anyplace, anytime & any way) then they can only be seen as doing social good.
