Having a private and citizen-operated automobile in a public park isn't really the same situation, and as it turns out, isn't subject to all the same by-laws that you claim are being selectively enforced.
Not to say it wasn't effective as a stunt that grabbed attention, nor that the by-law angle isn't a valid argument.
In the end, what was proven? Is it that should anyone else, occupiers included, drive an automobile into Olympic Plaza, that they too should receive tickets for "operate vehicle in park off park roadway," the same way that Cory was? Good to keep in mind I suppose.

They are handing out tickets for
smoking
urinating
alcohol consumption
vehicles being used as a method of expression
They are not handing out tickets for
being in park after 11 PM
camping in the park
placing signs in a park
erecting a tent being used as a method of expression
ALL these laws are covered in the (one) document I linked to earlier.
Why are some being applied and not others?
