Apparently you wanted your statement to be unanimously accepted with no disagreement. My motive was to respond, and that is most of what takes place on discussion lists. But what is YOUR motivation?
If you are so bothered by a patrol car with its engine running while the officer is on duty I suggest you address your complaint to the chief of police in your community. I'd like to hear the reply you receive.

I wasn't complaining. I was just stating some facts.
It's your right to find facts absurd.
To me, your posts are coming across as absurd.
You were basically telling the O.P. that he was legally wrong for his attempt to be efficient.
I pointed out the irony.
Wait until the police can start handing out tickets for waste, inefficient driving, crimes against the environment, etc... leaving their vehicles running non-stop all the while.
Personally I don't care that the police are wasteful. If I spent a whole shift in a squad car I'd want to have the A/C on all the time too. It would be a real shame for them to be smelling bad when they approach other people.
