WARNING : Car Park Scammers UKPC at Vastern Court Retail Park, Reading

in Parking tickets, fines & parking
Am I allowed to post the parking monkey's details on this website i.e. The number plate/make/model of the "extortion mobile", and the monkey's agent registration number?

I intend to make it as difficult as possible for these clowns to continue "to do their job", and need to know from a legal standpoint what I can and can't do.

Thanks

    What's the problem?
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    Can I assume from your response that my proposed idea is acceptable?

    What are you actually wanting to do and why? I'm confused.

    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Monkey's agent?
    Legal standpoint?

    In seriousness, I presume he wants to ascertain if it's legal to post the details of a vehicle that manages car parking in a particular car park so that people can have a heads up when they are visiting?

    ;)

    No, I was inquiring the reason for the question. My post was too short.

    I merely want to warn people going to this site that there is a UKPC guy sitting in his car around the side of Aldi issuing parking charges, and want to know if i can publish the vehicle details.

    That's what I thought. I don't see any issue with publishing non-personal information.

    In the interest of 'crime' prevention why not? ;)

    Just like Speed sorry Safety Cameras are visible and locations published so that folks are aware of them.
