But police Insp. Darren Cave said the parked truck posed a public safety risk.
“We looked at it from the perspective the tents are one thing that may or may not be a detriment to public safety, however a running vehicle on a path system is certainly detriment to public safety,” he said.

Police and parks staff using the pathway is one thing - some member of the public in a big honking truck is quite another from a safety standpoint, no?
