Ideally the authorities are working to achieve efficient use of parking space and funding for local government. I suspect such "anti-authority" protestors are not really informed enough to make a reasonable guess as to whether their interventions will be a net benefit. As is, to me, it just seems like people messing with the system because they can't compare the abstract benefits of increased parking efficiency, to the more obvious costs of someone experiencing the displeasure of a parking ticket.
