On further review, it looks like the cop was being a dick. Check the story (CNBC: Rare $15M Ferrari given parking ticket during London photo shoot)
How about that inflation, too. The car went up five million dollars in going from one news channel to the other. And ... there are pics.
It sounds like the owner didn't even start it. The crew just rolled it out of the garage for a photo shoot and, whammo, cops are on it???
Kensington-based classic car dealers Fiskens in London rolled the car out its garage to take some promotional shots but were quickly interrupted by two council traffic wardens.
A council spokesperson told CNBC via email that the parking attendants asked the photographer to move the vehicle and he agreed. However, the authority said that after a "five-minute observation period" the car dealer made no attempt to move the car.

Your call as to whether this was warranted but this looks more like a vulture ticket than anything else.
A cop once busted me for speeding when I was a kid. I was driving a Sunbeam Alpine and it was misfiring badly, the battery had barely enough juice to fire the headlights, and I was creeping up Ludlow hill. I wasn't speeding as the car was barely running (it was often like that). My crime was being sixteen and out in the middle of the night.
