Traffic cops

Earlier in this thread there was much speculation that ATC has some role/responibility in avoiding ground collisions. 'After all that's what they do in the air'.

If you have a traffic cop regulating the flow of cars at a busy intersection and you collide with a parked car fifty feet from the intersection-who's fault is it?

The buck must eventually stop with AF PIC.
