We had 15+ minutes of fame a few years ago for documenting the wanton parking behavior of U.N. diplomats, and for analyzing the relationship between parking violations and home-country corruption (The Swedes double-park less than the Nigerians).

We’re often asked about the parking habits of U.S. diplomats, and in Economic Gangsters we talk about the behavior of American diplomats in London (more like Nigerians than Swedes, we’re afraid). If unpaid parking violations really do tell us something about the honor of public servants, it looks like we may have to start worrying about the law enforcers themselves. (HT: Daniel Chen)
