I would get really annoyed when there were non badge holders occupying spaces.
I've got a blue badge, can't walk very farwent to the local retail park, knocke my blue badge betwen the seats with my new, long handled stickgone for 10 minutes, came back, £50.00 fine, £80.00 if more than 14 days, this was in the middle of the postal strike so, I e mailed them to appeal9 days later, they e mailed me back, gotta pay , so, sent a recorded delivery letter to ask them to re-consider, got a letter back today, another 9 days, no way to re appeal, now have to pay the full amount !!!boy am I ******** annoyed :-X >:(
I understand the pressure, but it's a million times more difficult to recover a fine once it's been paid. If you decide to pay it, better to forget the matter and move on, rather than to wage some fruitless campaign.As for digital cameras, have you never heard of Photoshop? And in any case they'd have to take a picture of the car showing both the vehicle registration number and a completely empty dashboard. A series of pictures is no good!Remember, these guys are accusing you of criminal behaviour. Give as good as you get! That is the basis of our justice system. Do you think that burglars, rapists, and muggers simply plead guilty and take their punishment meekly? Of course not. They are advised to contest it, and frequently win. And if that sort of person uses the law as it's designed to be used, why ever shouldn't respectable people do the same?Oh, and recent cases have established that if you drive away before the warden has actually stuck the ticket to the car, then it's not valid. Don't sit there and let them scam you out of some large sum of money - just drive away. If they shout, or even remonstrate, that's a public order offence. Report it.
