It’s def fake but you’d be surprised what local authority clampers will do.
Way back when I worked for hackney council we(and many other council vehicles) would regularly get clamped while working, often next to the van, by hackney clampers, with the same sign writing on their van as us. Given the nature of our work/pulling big trailers we’d often be parked in less than ideal locations on estates and other council owned properties.
It reached boiling point when one of the parks maintenance boys ended up beating the shit out of a guy who’d clamped him on multiple occasions. Plenty of angle grinding and cropping occurred as well.
