It seems that no one is willing to stand up for what is right. The cop was wrong. He tried to be a lawyer. He read the ordinance. It stated 'public place'. Not public view.
I would have proceeded to wash the car after the cop left so he did not see it and thus could not testify. The neighbor would have called again. When the cop showed up I would have asked to be arrested. That way the nosy a-hole (and yet to be identified) neighbor would have to testify.
It would be a fun project to get the local media involved and make the neighbor and the cops look like fools.
The fact that it is against the law to wash your car in your driveway says how far America has declined. Is there anything worth saving?

If you have that amount of time to spare on it.
I live on a corner and wash my truck on the side and halfway in the street. None of my neighbors have ever complained and if they did then flux em.
None of their business and what’s a little water left on the street any harm? Dries fast where I live and I use very little of it as I’m conscious not to waste. I’m a ‘conservationalist conservative’, eheheheheh.
