I think the crux of this argument is pretty simple. A privately owned company should not be allowed to disregard traffic regulations because it suits their business model. The risks of running a high security business should be borne entirely by that business and not by the public.
Even with the Olympics fiasco, G4S reported profits of £175 million in 2012. If they wanted to park safely, form a phalanx of security guards and walk round the block they could easily afford to.
But they won't because they are cunts. And public safety doesn't appear on their balance sheets.
