It appears in the scenario the city is allowing free parking provided rules are adhered to and I think a 2 hour time limit is sensible. Now if the most efficient way to police that is to have someone chalk a tire every two hours it seems like a small price to pay.
There's a fine line between being right and doing right.
You completely missed the point. It was not about chalking the tires. It is about the fact that the police officer LIED about him being charged for removing the chalk and then later LIED about him being parked for 2 hours.
And although you are entitled to your opinion about the practice the fact is that courts have ruled that police are not allowed to touch or mark your vehicle in order to enforce parking laws. That constitutes a trespass on private property and it is unreasonable because they do it to all cars without any probable cause of illegal activity. So the police are knowingly violating the Constitution.
So which part of the police behavior in this situation is "being right" or "doing right"
