Plod, You my friend are totally missing the point and that point is ANPR cameras can only be used in off street car parks for enforcement purposes, PROVIDING they have been certified for use in such places by the SofS for Transport. The only legislation that I know of is just that, "BEFORE USE, IT HAS TO BE CERTIFIED I have cut and pasted much to show you were you are wrong in your assertions ...
So if a person does not accept what you say and politely challenges it they must be a wind up merchant? I've fully explained why I don't accept what you say and provided the relevant legislation to demonstrate that your view point is not supported by law. If it were supported you would be able to direct me to where the law prohibits LA's using certified approved ANPR devices to enforce ...
And Thousands of 'rip-off' parking fines dished out in town hall car parks illegally using automatic number plate recognition Thousands of drivers have been illegally handed fines of up to £100 Many town hall car parks are operating outside the law, ministers say This is because they installed a utomatic number plate recognition S ystem has not been approved and it ...
I see there is more than one windup merchant on this site. Approval for ANPR use in car parks has to come from the SofS for Transport not the VCA. VCA only has approval to manufacture.
Thank you Diana Mond. As for ANPR I think Major P has got his wires crossed. The Deregulation Act 2015 amended the Traffic Management Act 2004 so that regulations could be made restricting the use of approved devices. However, the amendment only allows for regulations to be made that restrict the use of approved devices when enforcing parking contraventions occurring on a road . Take a ...
Excellent work Plod. I’m glad I’m not the only one who can see that tickets being non-transferable is clearly stated in the TRO’s.
I've not done this myself (yet) but would split ticketing be of any help? http://www.raileasy.co.uk/home/split-ticketing
You still have not pointed out the law that prohibits LA's from using VCA approved/certified ANPR devices in their off street car parks to enforce civil parking contraventions under the Traffic Management Act 2004. I would not base your argument solely on a BPA extract. The BPA has been wrong before. So the legislation please?
As far as I am aware, there is no law other than LA's cannot use ANPR cameras to enforce contraventions in their car parks, UNLESS THE DEVICE USED (CAMERA) HAS A CERTIFICATE FROM THE SECRETARY of STATE for TRANSPORT to use it for those purposes. NO CERTIFICATE, NO USE. Just a small snippet from the BPA British Parking Association) who's many members are LA's have tried for years to get things ...
Major P I did not demonstrate why ANPR cannot be used in LA owned car parks. I demonstrated that it can be used if VCA approved. It would not be much use for viewing contraventions associated with pay & display ticket details but it could be used for example to enforce code 81 "Parked in a restricted area in a car park" and other codes such as 70, 74, 89, 91, 92, 80, 86, 90, 93, 95. What ...
