Off licence manager's parking victory could see thousands of tickets from SPY CAMERA CARS scrapped Landmark: Rachel Johnson, 34, had her three parking fines quashed after arguing there were no warning signs Thousands of motorists stung by parking fines after being photographed by cars with periscope-mounted cameras could get refunds after a landmark legal ruling.
