That isnt the case sorry. This does happen. Its a big thing in London.emmajones1976 said:Ignore the stuff about ANPR, they are talking out of their own backsides. However if they do see your car on the street they can likely clamp it pending you coughing up, but this can only be done by high court bailiffs. They wont be using ANPR to do this though.
I would suggest not leaving it directly outside you house.2 -

It featured on TV a few years back, with the Marstons woman grinning like a blonde shark as the Police and Council wrongly used ANPR to assist a bailiff. Outside of their powers I think and this was discussed at length on pepipoo forum.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
