    I could easily show a judge, I put a bit of paper of the dash, take loads of shots but none show it...then take one shot that can clearly show it, its not hard and certainly is not beyond what these parking companies do...i would hope a Judge would at least consider that in some cases the camera does lie!

    This is what I would do if/when it gets to Witness Statement stage. You have the photo referred to by Snakes Belly that looks like a paper ticket is on the dashboard just above the reflection of the nearside door mirror. Circle the "ticket", blow the image up and circle it again, then place your own "ticket" in exactly the same place before taking a series of photos to show it can be seen from several angles, but not the ones used by the claimant.
    Images have a bigger impact that writing loads of text because judges have limited reading time. 

    That image showing what looks like a ticket on the dashboard is not a refection it looks like paper. The car looks very neat and tidy so likely to be the ticket. 

    These people who work for the PPC's are targeted so it's open to abuse.

    Just above minimum wage and a bonus scheme.  They will only get bonus if they achieve a certain level of PCN's.

  • @Fruitcake and @Snakes_Belly thank you for the additional info on photos, i think ill do that, blow it up and highlight it and then, at night with not the best lighting, i will take mu own photos and that will hopefully have a bigger impact then cppious text as you say....and impact enpough on a Judge to give them enough doubt to dismiss the case as there is enough chance in there mind that a ticker was bought and displayed.
