I disagree with your headline regarding the traffic warden and the mayor's car.

The mayor was at fault, which he has admitted publicly, and not the traffic warden.

However long or short the ceremony was, in this day and age there was no reason why the car could not have left the area and subsequently been summoned by a call on a mobile phone. The warden was only doing what he has been employed to do, and doing it well.
