Ah now see he had to get to the video store to return the video otherwise  
they'd have blacklisted him. He then wouldn't be able to get videos for  
his 'downtime' relaxation thus increasing his tension and impacting on his  
ability as a police officer. Parking across two stalls was the only way of  
being able to keep an eye on his vehicle and thus necessary in the pursuit  
of his duties.
