So that is a case that warrants a ticket... The observed violation of:
A- public safety due to the double park and people needing to leave curbside to board the bus
B- posted law
The two situations aren't the same though, one is a case of public safety and traffic flow, which unfortunately went unpunished. The other is a case of a kid sucking on a lollipop which got him a $300 fine. Yes he broke the law, but temperance is essential.
Law isn't black and white... There are all sorts of shades of gray that police officers use to judge whether or not a ticket/citation, arrest, or charges should be given. If the police ticketed or arrested everyone for every time they violate a law we would spend astronomically more on policing, which in Canada is already a 6.8 billion dollar piece of our comparitively small pie.
