Where do they find these reporters - "fine" "penalty notice" "reaching out"?3

I don't know if we are of an age @Le_Kirk, but I could not agree more. Not only about sloppy inaccuracy, but also the modern obsession with this "reaching out" nonsense when really they mean "contacted" or "appealed" or similar .Le_Kirk said:Where do they find these reporters - "fine" "penalty notice" "reaching out"?
Personally, the only 'reaching out' I would like to do is for a scammers windpipe !The pen is mightier than the sword ..... and I have many pens.6 -

Just how long will be before - " Operators are becoming aware of this and should now be checking all ANPR transactions to ensure that this does not occur.""As with all new technology, there are issues associated with its use:a) Repeat users of a car park inside a 24 hour period sometimes find that their first entry is paired with their last exit, resulting in an ‘overstay’. Operators are becoming aware of this and should now be checking all ANPR transactions to ensure that this does not occur."3

ANPR ... the puzzle for me is....
Say you enter a car park at 11am and leave 2 hrs later within the given time limit, the ANPR should record this and I assume the camera also records it.
WHAT HAPPENED to that EXIT recording at 1pm ?
You return at 4pm for a further two hours and the ANPR on exit records says you have been there for 7 hours ?
WHAT HAPPENED to that ENTRY recording at 4pm ?
Hence the double dip but there are two recordings missing
Is this a flaw or knowingly a trap which is why they will not provide logs as both the missing two logs are actually there2 -

My guess is that plin and simple its a flaw that they are reluctant to fix, or take action to solve as its a lucrative flaw, and as for not providing the logs, that can only point at incompetence , or quite simply that the logs are not there as the system is flawed

(IMHO) the system is setup to use the first entry/last exit images IF there are an odd number of images for any given vehicle on any given day.Jenni x3

You are probably right. The system was devised by Smart in AustraliaJenni_D said:(IMHO) the system is setup to use the first entry/last exit images IF there are an odd number of images for any given vehicle on any given day.
As we know such a system should be banned for these private parking scammers3
