    Excellent thanks. I never trust camera controlled parking. I always take photographic evidence if say a meter is having issues or when using terminals etc. So many places are jumping on the bandwagon now with it as an easy money maker as many just pay up without contesting. My Dad did some years ago. Literally drove into a carpark changed his mind and drove out again but apparently was over the 10 minute grace period as such.

    Surely that only proves where a mobile device such as a telephone was?

    It doesn't prove the location of a vehicle does it?

    If I parked my car all day somewhere I am not permitted to and then went to work how would proving where my telephone was help?

    It'd be on the balance of probabilities, you'd just need to convince a small court judge that you probably didn't leave the car in the car park all day.

    It's unlikely you'd drive from home to a shopping centre, park up, walked into a shop, returned to the car and then ran home at 30mph for a few hours before returning.
