The mystery of a destroyed PE ANPR CAMERA ?

The mystery of a destroyed PE ANPR CAMERA ?

Someone used a saw to cut down an ANPR pole at a hospital.   Picture here

None of us condone this but I'm guessing it will not be the last one

    As an aside, government has announced that NHS staff are to get "free" parking at hospitals.

    How are they going to implement such a scheme?

    Does this mean that PPC's will be banned from accessing the DVLC database?

    Who knows, probably that's why ANPR are going to be felled throughout the UK

    simples , the hospital asks staff to enter there VRN into a "whitelist" , and indeed the hospial can merge the permit (s) issued into this whitelist , and capture by ANPR would show the vehicle is registered , any failure (ie misread due to crap gear) could result in a finabcial loss for them

    Whoever did it - kudos. 

    Not condoning criminal damage but for God's sake...remove ParkingEye from hospitals.

    What concerns me is that the Govt free parking must (one presumes) involve either paying off ParkingEye with a huge compensatory sum, or it merely removes the tariffs and yet allows P/Eye to continue to issue 'fines' that breach the NHS Car Parking Principles.

    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Yes remove Parking Eye, cut off the power to ANPR. 
    Compensation for PE. Let them sue government ... is there a court in the land who would support PE, not even the Supreme court ..... Any action by PE would prove to government of scam tactics 

    It would cost a fortune and PE would lose paying all costs involved

    Parking Eye are small fry when it comes to the health of the country and our NHS staff. I mean they are so small fry ... their cowboy greed could well bust them

    Frankly, I would say that nobody should p*ss around with Boris
