    think the whole "double dip" ANPR scenario needs to be highlighted as well , how the ANPR used by these companies does not follow the exacting standards expected of a council etc

    torpedo the whole reliability of the evidence they like to use

    Try telling that to the BPA who, according to their propaganda, are driving up standards in their industry. You can tell how out of touch this bunch of clowns are, they have just awarded somebody from the much discredited Roxburgh a "fellowship" . This award was for being a "role model for the profession and for raising standards".
    Or was that because "somebody" brought the nicest cakes to the meetings? :)

    I'm just a cynic, aren't I? ;)

    Not only did they award him the fellowship, they gave him a pin to wear! The "somebody" was actually Gary Osner of Roxburgh.

    Best use for it is to burst the PPC bubble in my opinion.

    So the DVLA only give out information to the parking companies that are compliant with the BPA (or the other one) code of practice.
    Has anyone done a freedom of information request to the DVLA asking how many parking companies they have checked to see if they comply.
    I thought that from DVLA replies that have been posted on here they have said parking companies reported to them for not following the code of practice was nothing to do with them.

    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.
