Citizens on Patrol

A lawyer in Oregon, Eric Bryant, issued a series of citizen-initiated violations to a cop who parked illegally, right in front of a no parking sign, in order to go to a restaurant and pick up some food.
I'm sort of torn about this. I don't like uptight douchebags, but I don't like abuse of power either.
I don't think cops should be above the law, but I don't think a cop should have to park 3 blocks away, just in case there is an emergency.

If a cop is on duty, he shouldn't be stopping to pick up food.

Do you think cops should go 8 hours or more without eating? Or should they clock out for a lunch break like factory workers?
