Yup. The angle of the wheels and car allow you someplace to get cover when bullets start flying (behind engine block and wheels). Also he'll park more to the left than the violator to create a "lane" of protection from traffic on the approach to the vehicle.

There are great reasons for Driver vs Passenger side approach. I use both depending on the situation, roadway, and time of day.
