Where's the flexibility

It seems to me that a driver could be ticketed for just stopping to drop someone off, or to figure out where he's going, or .......

In my recent office, in Westminster, there were several parking spaces within the building. However it was necessary to stop the car, get out and open the roller shutter before being able to park inside the building. Something similar on exit. Parking is prohibited in the street outside. Will this lead to 2 parking tickets per day?

How does a system like this exercise judgement. Is one second enough to commit an offence. I do have a friend who was done for literally a few seconds before the end of the congestion charge period and because she didn't know she had 'offended' she also incurred a penalty for non payment. The few seconds before the end of the charge period were clearly shown on her penalty notice, but the system just ground on anyway.
