That reminds me of a story I came across in a book written by a former Police Inspector, the one who used to front that Auckland crime show, Police 10/7 (?).
He recounted a court room incident involving a Black Power member. The prosecuting lawyer had managed to piss off the BP member who proceeded to nut off at him. The Judge interceded and told the BP member that he couldn't speak to the lawyer like that.
"Sorry sir, but the cunt's an egg".
It's mildly amusing to note that the most insulting part of that is the word 'egg'.
The lawyer mentioned is now a judge, and there were occasions when in court as part of my job, he was presiding. Recalling this little tale provoked an inward smile.

Wow, that Police Ten 7 host sure had it in for boner
I'm assuming that parking tickets are not that same as police tickets, so they go to the council? The parking wardens are hired by the councils to manage parking, so wardens don't have to look for bikes to ticket for old or missing reg/wof. The wardens I've seen chalk car tires and stuff but never look at the car's reg/wof.
Soooooo...
bikes in most of the world get to park for free without a time restriction like P60 or whatever. For councils to get money from motorcyclists, they go for the reg/wof and whatever they can - low tire tread, missing mirrors? I'll wager that if you're on a bike with an old or missing reg/wof and you park in town during the day, you're odds of getting ticketed are higher than if your car was missing those things.
