The mayor of Vilnius, in Lithuania, has an aggressive way of cracking down on illegal parking… and has released a video demonstrating his non-nonsense approach.
Rather than simply issuing a ticket, the smiling mayor runs it over with a soviet-era armoured personnel carrier.

Can imagine Boris Johnson liking the sound of this as a means to clear congestion in London

I like it.

If you're going to park illegally because you can afford the ticket, maybe buying a new car instead will change your mind about breaking the law.

Maybe in Lithuania. Here the government doesn't have the right to wantonly destroy property, illegal parking or no.

Of course not! In our democracies the goverment does not wantonly destroy property. How else could it tax to death and then let the banks forclose on it!

The coward and cheat?

Apparently the car didn't belong to a real driver, and was instead bought specifically for the publicity stunt.

D'accord. Here, we slap a boot on the tire until the wrecker gets there to haul it away; complete with the implicit waiver that any damage done to the vehicle in the impound lot is not the responsibility of the agency impounding the vehicle.
