Hopefully it wasn't the police trotting out the "Police vehicles are exempt from fines when performing operational duties" line...

Hopefully it wasn't the police trotting out the "Police vehicles are exempt from fines when performing operational duties" line... Well maybe they should read Metropolitan Police v London Borough of Islington (2110206764, 16 May 2011) http://bit.ly/2QwCBGD There is no exemption in Schedule 19 for Police vehicles; and it would seem the Council is not prepared to exercise the discretion one would normally expect on the basis that this is not a case where the letter of the law had to be broken for pressing operational reasons -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php

It's a private parking charge... So the driver could be liable...?

It's highly unlikely the terms and conditions will include an exemption for emergency vehicles, I've never seen such an exemption in any private parking signs. -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php

Let’s hope some parking company staff need the police one day but unfortunately the police won’t be able to attend because they’re too busy filling out parking appeal forms.
Or are unable to find a parking space without the risk of being “fined”. The world has gone effing mad. |

Or are unable to find a parking space without the risk of being “fined”. The world has gone effing mad. On the other hand there's an argument to be made that the police should be subject to the same rules as everyone else, and if they were on an emergency call sending the relevant form signed by a senior officer takes all of five minutes. The police routinely do this for council PCNs, or even speed or red light cameras where the photo happens not to have captured any blue lights (either due to bad timing or where for operational reasons, blue lights were not in use), it's an established process and all forces have a pro-forma letter that the duty inspector can sign off. Otherwise some officers might be tempted to think they can park where they like during their break because the law doesn't apply to them, which wouldn't be right either. -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php

It may well have been an automated / ANPR charge.

Why should the police be subject to the same rules as everybody else?
In the speeding forum people complain about camera vans parked “illegally“. And then the posts come in saying that they’re allowed to do that. Thank you |

Why should the police be subject to the same rules as everybody else? Quite a few reasons, not least because the law applies to everyone, even the police. QUOTE In the speeding forum people complain about camera vans parked “illegally“. And then the posts come in saying that they’re allowed to do that. Thank you No, the replies (at least the correct ones) say that it doesn’t render any evidence obtained inadmissible, not that the police’s actions are lawful. -------------------- Moderator

It's Euro Car Parks. Don't Euro Car Parks only go to Court around once a year? Doesn't seem much likelihood of this proceeding. |

Why should the police be subject to the same rules as everybody else? In the speeding forum people complain about camera vans parked “illegally“. And then the posts come in saying that they’re allowed to do that. Thank you As has been pointed out, the fact that evidence of a crime has been obtained or has come to light by unlawful means does not mean that evidence cannot be used, see for example https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/eu...ce-9017867.html https://www.foxnews.com/story/british-man-j...-over-to-police or https://edition.cnn.com/2011/10/06/us/calif...bust/index.html I also don't see why the police should be above the law: if a police officer parks on double yellows during his break so he can pop into the shop where he wants to buy some lunch, or if an officer drives down a bus lane to get a fresh bottle of milk back to the station before the inspector's tea goes cold, why exactly should they not be dealt with just like everybody else? The City of London's enforcement policy says this (my emphasis): Police vehicle on duty – unmarked A letter or pre-agreed form is required from a Superintendent, or higher-ranking officer, confirming the situation. Cancel and refund. Police not on duty In this situation, where an officer has chosen to drive to work or park for other reasons, enforce. They should know better. -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php

They are attending a crime or investigating a crime they’re not getting milk from the shop.

This is what i was referring to.
I also don't see why the police should be above the law: if a police officer parks on double yellows during his break so he can pop into the shop where he wants to buy some lunch, or if an officer drives down a bus lane to get a fresh bottle of milk back to the station before the inspector's tea goes cold, why exactly should they not be dealt with just like everybody else? |

Which you're using totally out of the context it was being put to, which was pointing out the errors in your silly comment about camera vans of course.
