[Duplicate post]My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016).
For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com0 -
The statute strands above the SIA and above the content of any website.
What the SIA site actually says is:
The statute does indeed stand above anything else. The problem is that this advice originates from the regulator (indeed, enforcer) established and empowered by the same statute.For Vehicle Immobilisers In addition to holding a valid SIA licence, vehicle immobilisers must observe the following requirements:- A vehicle must not be clamped / blocked / towed if:
- a valid disabled badge is displayed on the vehicle.
- it is a marked emergency service vehicle which is in use as such.
Were Mr Andrews to be pursued for this offence then I'd suggest that he might just have a defence in that he was simply following the SIA advice.My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016).

I doubt that will cover him, if the law states that any emergency services vehicle is not to be clamped, he's hopefully stuffed more than a turkey towards the end of December
IIRC a year or two back there was a similar case when a clamper tried it on with a SOCO vehicle (also registered as a police vehicle), and they were found guilty, as they argued it wasn't an emergency vehicle.0 -

SOCO vehicles are also usually marked as police vehicles, so these clampers deserved what they got, it is obvious they use scope and mission creep to artificially extend the remit of their clamping activities, especially with a nudge to dislodge blue badges, and they hope that in the main the police will turn a blind eye as ostensibly they are "on the same side"0 -
It was a SOCA vehicle, not a SOCO one...It must be accepted as a principle that the rifle cannot replace the speed of the horse, the magnetism of the charge and the terror of cold steel.
