RAF veteran beats NCP.

They tried to charge him from entry to exit but he had to pay for a ticket for parking.
Strange how many people still think you can ignore them, glad he didn't.
At least a couple of commenters say he should go after them for illegally obtaining his details.

I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    It is good to see that the DM is still bashing PPCs.

    PE have already lost this in court.

    I too am of the opinion that NCP may well have obtained his details from the DVLA without proper cause.
    You never know how far you can go until you go too far.

    An interesting article rather proving that ANPR is not suitable

    I would imagine such a problem is common with
    retailers like Lidl where you enter your reg in store
  • I think the main problem is educating the public that you don't either just pay up or ignore. People decry the Mail for being lightweight (which it is) but at least it seems to keep on about ppc's.
