ans Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 And I'm sure if he was caught doing that, he'd be charged accordingly. However, he's only been caught parking too long in a timezone. Why don't you go gather some evidence and report him if you feel that strongly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont need to, the traffic wardens know it goes on but cant do sod all about it except give one ticket, and if they are caught in the morning and given a ticket they just leave the car as it is. they dont give tickets for every hour the car is over parked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Wrong the Man in Athol Street has committed deception No, you said he's been caught for parking outside the permitted time limit. Being caught swapping the disk is a different thing entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ans Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 they dont give tickets for every hour the car is over parked They can issue a new ticket every two hours if they choose. Really, you're clutching at straws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian rush Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 OK an other example and this happens most days in Athol Street.Bosses park their 4wds on a 1 hour permit park, an office girls goes out to the car every hour and changes the disk, after a few hours she forgets to change the disk and the boss get a ticket = £40 fine. Joe public has an appointment with an advocate and it goes on for a bit longer than expected by 10 mins Joe gets the same ticket and fine, whos committed the bigger offence Your talking bollocks again. My car is trained to drive itself off every *90minutes on Athol Street* and 2hours most places elsewhere in town. I got the computer stuff free off my rich and powerful mates in the Government / Lodge / asylum etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Peters Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 OK how about thisParking fines, the man in the £50k jag and the man in the £50 mini should the man in the Jag get a bigger fine because he has more money and a bigger car if caught illegal parking. YES What's your problem with Jag drivers anyway? Now if you'd said BMW drivers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesemonster2005 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 OK then, how is the non payment of NI stamps of £100 which resulted in 6 months in prison more serious than that of the woman that got 14 weeks suspended for £1200.00 fiddle, both case brought by the DHSS. To paraphrase, "Each case is different. Each case is unique. You're daft." It's fair to say every case should be treated differently but in order for justice to be seen to be done there should be some cohesion. The public should be told the reasons behind the sentences so that we don't jump to conclusions. Did the bent pig get a short sentence because of his previous clean record or because he saved someone's life? Or did he bribe someone for a shorter sentence? Did the NI stamp man get a heavy sentence because he had a past history or because he just looked like a dodgy person to the judge? Did the single mother get a heavy sentence because the judge and prosecution are Daily Mail readers or because of a history of these sorts of crimes?

Mr. Sausages Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 If you're that interested, perhaps you should go to court one day and listen to what is said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point but it would be a good idea to make their considerations public to save these arguements. We know everything else about the crime and the person involved so why not also the judge's arguements and reasoning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sausages Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 They are made public, in the court house. Reporters sit in the public gallery, listen to what is said, make notes, and report it in the papers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
