£60 fine for "stopping in a box junction"

peasemore · Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2007 5:46 pm Post subject: Bailiffs

I was concerned to see on current TV series involving baillifs, that in London (+ elsewhere) that they too run ANPR vans to collect unpaid fines; that they should have direct access, like Old Bill,
to DVLA is out of order.
Who next Question

It also showed them working alongside police running road blocks too. Twisted Evil

Hadn't realised they can't seize taxis, that flag up with unpaid fines, as they are driver's means of earning a crust..but then so it is for large % drivers. Embarassed

I worked at Shell 30 yrs back, and whatever DVLA's predecessor was, they had same data access arrangements.

If say petrol station was damaged by a car, or a vehicle there and didn't stop & provide details, we had forms to send off to get data; it was just a few pounds then.

The selling off this data, to all & sundry and careless loss/leakage, as in today's news is a great concern.

I gather soon that parking offence/speeding data will soon be passing amongst EC members, so on assumption they have cloned numberplate cars there, you could be getting some foreign language summonses/points on your UK licence.
Imagine trying to sort that one out.

There is a large notice at Tesco in Ashby De La Zouch on the way out adjacent to to the petrol station stating ANPR in operation, whether it refers to the patrol station or car park, I dont know, but i have never noticed any other signs, if it applies to the car park it seems odd to be on the exit facing inwards.

Are you sure it has not got a pal on the entrance looking out?

Most likely a reference to the cameras used at many petrol stations nowadays to reduce bilking. They are ANPr but have no link to owners details, they merely record VRN's and can access data from other forecourts on vehicles who have previously been involved in bilking etc.

I wonder how you burgle an artifice?

Reading Services on the M4 has a sign up saying registration recognition cameras are in use to identify traders in their car park. It doesn't seem to deter the dodgy traders though. They sit in their posh cars parked close to the shop etc entrance and call you over politely for their sales pitch. Dead obvious if anybody from the Services wanted to look. They don't call me over though - being fat, old and obviously penniless does have some advantages.

It didn't work in the service station up on M6 at Shap though. He pulled up alongside me and said "Scus - you spik italian?" and proceeded to try to sell me his sales rep's spare stock of Italian shoes!! I suppose even I look rich to some foreigners (even though he was not foreign).
