The self ticketer   is my neighbour, and I have them on video and stills. I like some of your ideas and will have a look at whether we can utilise  them. I really like the thought of getting them for GDPR breech

Thank you

Read the new Code of Practice about the role, training and identification of the self ticketer to see if there's anything you can use from it to your advantage. PPCs are required to move to the new arrangements as quickly as possible, not let everything wait until 31/12/23!

Thanks @Umkomaas I will get on to that

The GDPr breach cold be difficult, however ive found that when dealing with committees ( ie if you imagine village hall vicar of Dibley type committees)  the one thing they are spooked by is "will we be liable"

Does your neighbour know you know?

Are self-ticketers currently required to have BPA or IPC membership?

They should do really. They are not technically employed by the parking company so therefore cannot claim membership. If it went to court I'd request evidence and witness statement from the ticketer. What's in all this for him?!? Can he not see he is being used 🤔

BPA CoP v8

15.4 Self-ticketers must be registered with the BPA before they are able to issue a Parking Charge or their operator can request keeper data relating to a parking incident.

Thanks everyone. To try and answer all in one brief post. Yes they know we know. They are blatant about it and in my belief are using this to force residents off land used for over 47 years.

I did try the registration of self ticketers route. BPA said that they were, and PoPLA were their usual selves. I have a low opinion of them.

Half-way is bang on the money .Parish Council are spooked by ideas of liability. One of the self-ticketers being a solicitor makes it worse from that point of view

If you are up for confrontation, ask the self-ticketer to show her/his proof of BPA membership. Bodycam/'phone recording (with suitable warning if the law requires).

Ask to see their CCTV code of practice compliance sir-sticky-foot, and warn them that they may be breaking the law if they don't have one.

Her/his taking of images breaches the Surveillance Camera CoP because  camera filming for parking charges can’t be covert and signs must state how the images will be used.

Thanks Fruitcake. Going to arrange this with one talking and one filming

Looking forward to seeing/ hearing you do your best Donal McIntyre/ Roger Cook style challenges on this sneaky ticketer!
