Yea- we have those here in the US in some cities. The city of Keene here  
basically responded to there loss of revenue that was the result of  
protesters feeding other people's coin operated meters who were about to  
expire which prevented them from collecting revenue from ticketing people  
(where most of the money is made) by implementing meters that required a  
license plate number. The city brought a lawsuit against protesters of the  
parking meters and lost at every court all the way to our New Hampshire  
supreme court. This is basically the city retaliating against protesters who  
aren't even performing this sort of activism any more. It's quite humorous.  
In the process they are ticking everybody in town off. The majority of people  
here don't want the parking meters- but the city refuses to get rid of them.  
City bureaucrats in particular tend to dislike the protesters and so its a  
game of city refuses to do what the people want because the people in power  
are angry at the protesters.
