Guilty as parked!

The judge in the high-profile trial of Brooke Astor's son has admitted acting like he's above the law when it comes to parking in his Upper East Side neighborhood -- dodging tickets with the help of NYPD traffic agents who turn a blind eye to His Honor's brazen violations.

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice A. Kirke Bartley told The Post he was "wrong" to routinely park his black Ford Expedition at un-fed meters -- which he got away with thanks to a police placard, which is available only to a privileged few.

Even though the placard declares, "This vehicle is on official police business," Bartley displays it in his windshield when his car is at home.
