Actually the road is slanted for drainage purposes so running the right side up on the curb makes it level but i'd say its whatever you prefer as its just as easy to run the left wheels up on the other curb..
As for a cop giving you hassle for an in street oil change? maybe if he happens by in the less than the 15 minutes its going to take and depending on his mood i doubt you'd get to much of a problem even if you were observed,if theres a huge puddle of oil on the ground at that time it might be a different matter or if you live in a deed restricted community you may have a problem..
