The amazing logic of people parked in bike lanes

Today, once again there were trucks parked within the bollards on 15th st bikeway. When I say trucks, I mean 5 of them blocking the entire block. At first I called the Denver non-emergency line to report them, since this is a systemic issue, thinking it would be a normal day when nothing changed.

Then I noticed that not only was there a driver in one of the trucks, but also a police officer telling him to move! Oh happy day, the cops are trying to help out! So I stayed for a couple minutes to talk to the cop at which point the driver tried to butt in.

Me, to cop: Hey, I called this in today, but it seems like a systemic issue. I also called yesterday and last week a couple times. This is really kind of ridiculous.
Cop, to me: Well I have asked to see their permit, and if they don't have one I'm going to ticket them.
Driver, to me (interrupting):  Why can't bikes stop at red lights! they blow through them all the time! (cop stepped away to talk to dispatch).
Me, to driver: I don't care about their illegal behavior, it doesn't mean you can break the law.
Driver: well it goes both ways.
Me: Then call them in and get them ticketed and I will call you in because you are parked illegally!
Driver: Well I am working!
Me: YOU ARE EATING A SANDWICH!
Driver: yea, well I'm on break!
Me: then you are not working and can move your truck!
Driver: well bikes run red lights.

Leave me alone while I eat my sandwich!

At this point I laughed at the driver and again told him that someone else breaking the law doesn't allow him to break the law. The cop then told the driver to show him a permit or get a ticket. The driver flat out ignored the cop and told me to go away. I waited to see if he would get a ticket, which he did.

As I was leaving a b-cycle user rode around the line of trucks in the roadway. As he did a random lady on the sidewalk, who had seen my exchange with the driver, yelled at the cyclist to "get back in the bike lane". His response "there are 5 trucks blocking it!" I slowed down and we had a laugh about the absurd expectation from the random lady.

I mean seriously, how ridiculous of an argument is "others break the law so I get to!"
