DVLA in bed with commercial interests AND criminals?

fayreview

Hi - i will make this first post brief, till I hear whether you personally have encountered commercial number plate recognition in car parks, obviously enabled and condoned by the DVLA. With this real time information availing your address and personal details without any infringement is this not an open invitation to criminal elements who know where you are not! i.e. at home.

what good would it do them? As trespassing is not against the law in this country. However shooting people in non vital parts of the body that force entry into your house and moving towards you is?

These legal assumptions are made on recent case law, the statement made above is only my opinion and may or may not stand up in court.

Also good idea to avoid tickets clamps and shooting people

What evidence do you have that it is real time? All the parking providers need is an address to send their demand with menaces to. All you need is a bin to put it in as I doubt they ever persue unpaid tickets through the courts.

Why not try the site motoring forum, might get a better response.

Personally I think you worry yourself a tad too much.

The parking company that chased me for overstaying in an Aldi car park a few months ago gave up after 3 increasingly threatening letters that I just ignored.

It is almost unheard of for them to take court action. They know they will either lose or will only win a tiny sum of damages.

Those letters that look like LA or Police fines are really just invoices and can be ignored.

It's not real time at all. these companies pay DVLA for the address that is registered to the car that over stay's within there care park, that is all. If you don't overstay your plate number is removed from there system.

It is all automated as well.

as avoriaz say's these people hardly if ever take court action, its a civil matter. Only tickets you have to pay is council run car parks or the ones given out by traffic wardens.
