Couldn't take the time to park legally then went out of her way to launch a lawsuit against the city. This is not community behavior. It's toxic.
The thing about the US legal system (and other systems derived from English law) though, is that legal rulings aren’t only about the particular case — they establish general principles that will be applied in a variety of future cases.
So, if they’re doing their jobs properly, judges should not be thinking of how sympathetic a particular party in a particular case is.
One famous example of this is Ernesto Miranda, by all accounts a horrible monster (murderer and rapist). The Supreme Court rightly ignored the distasteful nature of the particular individual, and threw out his confession as having been illegally obtained. That’s why we have what are now called Miranda rights, something practically every liberal can agree is a good thing.
(Tangent: in case you were wondering, Ernesto Miranda was still convicted, in the end. The evidence against him was strong enough even without the illegally-obtained confession.)
I think I would agree with you, if she lost ...
However, the ruling suggests that her behavior was not antisocial by definition.
I have never thought to care about this issue, nor would I spend my time fighting it, but if the constitution is ruled to disallow this behavior her lawsuit was, again, by definition, a socially positive act ...
The law is not the definition of pro- or anti-social behavior.
