I missed the bit leading up to that guy being in the traffic wardens face, what was the story? No need to get in the guys face like that, am I right in saying e warden didn't actually issue a ticket?
Basically the two guys spend their own money putting valid tickets on cars that have expired tickets. The parking guy was about to ticket a car when they put another ticket on it.

They spend up to £60 per weekend doing this because they "hate the council".

There was really no need for them to get in his face.

I think she said they START at 15K, which presumably is for a year.

Bargain.

The bailiff telling the disabled chap (without use of his legs) in a Motability car: "You seem to be able to afford to drive a nice car...?"

Bailiffs may not stop cars but police are legally able to.

But what is to prevent the drivers from driving away after being stopped by the police and "handed over" to the bailiffs?

It's usually a joint operation so the police will be after uninsured cars etc picked up on ANPR.

Unless I'm missing something the cars stopped looked legal?

What would happen if the driver just ignored and drove away?

Only the reserved spaces smile for the Rolls, Porsche and Ferrari.

Interesting programme.

That woman Caroline Sheppard handled a penalty charge notice I appealed about three years ago.

My appeal had already been rejected on dubious grounds by a junior adjudicator. Caroline Sheppard delayed, avoided and obfuscated for eighteen months until she couldn't defend the local authority and the junior adjudicator any longer and grudgingly uphelp my original appeal.

I eventually obtained £700 from Rushcliffe Borough Council for incorrectly issuing a penalty charge notice, lying at the appeal hearing and putting me to some trouble in the process of getting the PCN overturned.

It seemed very much as though Caroline Sheppard was reluctant in the extreme to find in my favour because the consequences of doing so could potentially have meant the local authority being exposed to thousands of pounds of claims. Furthermore it seemed that her allegiance was with the local authority, not the general public.
