* PoliceBrutality: Parodied with the Parking Enforcement arm of the local Police Department that Annie works for as a meter maid. Every officer there is comfortable using excessive force on civilians and they have an almost predatory tendency to sniff out misdemeanors so they can meet their ticketing quotas. Unsurprisingly, Oakdale hates the “Parking Nazis”, and the Parking Enforcement has gleefully subsumed being so despised into their identity as evidenced by their motto, “We Write ‘em, You Fight ‘em!”
