It's a public place though.

Private spaces can still have public access - think shopping centres, "Plazas" in retail/office redevelopments, University campuses etc. The difference can sometimes only be a line on a map and quite hard to tell them apart.


Police and council officers with specific statutory purposes can operate in these spaces but council patrollers/PSCOs and 'enforcement' contractors can only operate there to a certain degree if there is an appropriate agreement between the owners and councils in place - and what they can and cannot do enforcement-wise will be clearly spelled-out in that agreement. IIRC the only litter-related offence these guys can unilaterally access private property to enforce is fly-tipping.

If this was a council car park, and he was parked there without showing a disabled badge, then he was parked not in accordance with requirements and should be eligible for a Penalty Charge Notice (if there was a parking warden present).

Depends - non-police "officers", eg Camera Partnerships/PSCOs, contractors etc should have a wayleave in place that lets them operate vehicles on otherwise restricted spaces/yellow lines/parking bays etc. Although one or two authorities have been left with egg on their faces for forgetting to get wayleave from themselves to operate or getting the wrong kind of wayleave (eg parking bays but not yellow lines) and having to cancel/refund tickets because of it.

You offered to pick it up, but then didn’t pick it up?

I'd be interested in the answer to post #7 which you haven't answered yet...
