I was driving on a single carriage road, and notice a police car on the other side of the road, as I turned into my street and was parked in my residential parking bay, I suddenly see a police car park infront of me. The officer approached me and asked me if the car was mine, of which I replied yes, and subsequently told me he had noticed one of my break light was not working and that was why he had followed me. He requested for my driving licence of which I handed over, and he then said he would like to examine my tires in my parking bay. He did so and noticed that one of them was below the regulation and said he was going to give me a ticket and have my licence endorsed for that reason. This this a fear thing to do? Is it legitimate to give a ticket in my residential parking bay, which is not a public road. Although he might have seen me pass, has he got the right to follow me home and examine my car. The identity of the car has been established with all paper work required seen.
