A traffic warden has been suspended after he was caught using a bogus ticket to allow him to park illegally.
The unnamed warden has been removed from duty by bosses at Derby City Council after he was spotted parking in a restricted zone in the city he normally patrols.
The warden was seen by a reporter from the Derby Evening Telegraph newspaper parking illegally then putting a ticket on his car to make it look as if the vehicle had already been dealt with.
The newspaper claim they were alerted to the scam in Sacheverel Street - a strict no-parking zone - by a reader who challenged the warden about it.
The reader claimed the warden, who was wearing full uniform, admitted putting a fake ticket on "so I can park here" and boasting that he was flouting the rules.
Why doesn't this surprise me?
