Not intended for comments just a list of double dips and ANPR camera errors in private car parks, with links to posts and news stories - comments elsewhere, intention of this just being a plain list

Not ANPR issues surrounding council statutory enforcement and/or highways agency enforcement /DVLA/Bailiffs etc

Name of PPC, Location of car park, reason for charge ( ie not in site for duration, two visits etc)

From the Plain Language Commission:

"The BPA has surely become one of the most socially dangerous organisations in the UK"

    This BBC Watchdog video accurately captures double dipping. It highlights how flaws in this ANPR system frequently results in motorists being unfairly charged for an "overstay". The issues flagged in this 7yr old video remain highly prevalent today.
