hazard, place a summons on the windshield. As Police Officer Schuman is patrolling her
assigned area, she is approached by an agitated citizen carrying a black bag. The gentleman
identifies himself as Dr. Forster. Dr. Forster has been called by the hospital to attend to a
patient, but a double-parked car with DPL license plates is blocking his car. Officer Schuman
notices that there is a person sitting in the back seat of the car with DPL plates. The passenger
identifies himself as a diplomat and produces identification. He does not move the car. Officer

a parking summons and places it on the windshield of the vehicle. Police Officer Schuman's
action in giving the car a parking summons is

(B) inappropriate; Schuman should have checked first with the Operations Unit.
(C) appropriate; a summons cannot be handed to a diplomat but may be placed on a
diplomat's car.
