The regulation which prohibits any person from allowing ‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‍his vehicle to stop in a public street for a longer time than twenty minutes, is a valid police ‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‍regulation. Pub. Sts. e. 28, § 25. Commonwealth v. Brooks, 109 Mass. 355.
