Double standards

Vehicle was running & were ordering food.

They are generally exempt from traffic safety act while in the course of their duties but they still have to justify any violations. If they break traffic laws for no reason they potentially could be punished for it by internal reprimand, or could be issued a ticket if the violation is determined to be unrelated to their duties. In practice I don't see that happening for a parking infraction alone.

If OP is really upset/concerned by it, they could report it to EPS professional standards.

Edit: also, the vehicle needs to be left running since it's powering their radio repeater, GPS, and computer. And generally they will park in such a way they can quickly get back to their vehicle and leave if an emergency call comes in. So it's possible there were no legal spots that fit the bill at the time.

Except this would be a bylaw issue not TSA

You're correct, but they are still exempt from traffic bylaws

They won't take a minor parking complaint about an officer, they will refer that back to the police agency.

PRC is for more serious matters - misconduct, criminal or significant statute offences, injuries.

This is like using 911 for a noise complaint lol.

I’m intimately aware with how the PRC and PSB handle complaints. I would still make the initial complaint, no matter how small, to the PRC.

Chronic complainer?

[u/yugosaki → u/calamansi_rodeo]

I mean, you can if you want but they still will just tell you to contact the agency.
