WA Police have defended their officer's right to park in a disabled bay in response to an emergency call.
An image of a patrol car parked in a disabled bay in front of Warnbro KFC began circulating social media yesterday afternoon.
Commenters criticised the officer's parking job, but the Western Australia Police Facebook page was quick to point out the officers were not circumventing the law to stop for a "10 piece feed".
"The incident pictured occurred yesterday when police were responding to an emergency situation with an offender who was suspected of being involved in a number of serious offences."
According to the Facebook post, the officers are stood just out of the picture with the offender.
WA Police also made sure to reassure citizens their officers enjoyed a sandwich ... back at the station three hours later.
