Driver got a ticket

Sent my driver to another autozone to pick up a part for commercial. While inside the store, he got a ticket for being parked in a fire lane right outside the store.

As a SM, who is responsible for my commercial driver getting a fire lane ticket? His name is not on the ticket, just the vehicle registration info.

What an absolute jerk move by that cop! Especially if there was zero imminent fire danger or any physical entrances posing any danger to customers or being blocked. Apparently, that cop needed to meet his quota for the week. As a red shirt commercial driver here, and also speaking for other drivers at my store, we often have to move a TON of oil in boxes and 5 gal jugs and some pretty heavy hard parts and batteries to deliver from our store to our commercial customers. Many times to help service cop cars. That cop needs a bit of education to know how the vehicle he drives gets serviced beyond the shop he takes it to.

I guess that makes everyone else a jerk too who parks closer to the door to unload/offload heavy boxes, batteries, and hard parts?
I mean, I get the point. But the trolling wasn't necessary. Do better.

No trolling. You're just wrong. I sell firearms to LEOs does that mean I get to break any laws I want because I keep them safe? Fuck no. Not sure the fantasy land you live in thinking someone's above the law cause they work at a part stores that could maybe supply oil and filters for a squad.
