I cannot comment other than to prompt you to consider -
...who decided that yellow lines were appropriate? maybe some unelected employee of the council gets permission from an unelected magistrate
...what 'crime' is prevented by the yellow lines? parking isn't a 'common law' crime if no-one suffers harm.
...who gains by them being there? the revenue is forwarded to the limited company who are employing those collecting officers.

PS I find it confusing too
