I can understand why police and courts want to discourage folk taking the law into their own hands - it minimises the risk of any dispute escalating into disproportionate violence.
It would be a more sustainable policy if the police actually responded quickly to any problems and dealt with offenders appropriately.
Getting the police to do anything in a reasonable timeframe (go to obstructing vehicle, remove it, fine the miscreant for the costs of removal and inconvenience) is currently wishful thinking.
No wonder some folk decide to sort things out for themselves.
