The Nazis want some extra tax from me

Because mr plastic is not helping the community, he is just generating some stealth taxes.
Why? because ordinarily you would have just left the litter on the floor and not been caught littering? That is a stealth tax to you? Lets all throw our litter on the floor then as its just a stealth tax for being given a ticket for littering.They are there to allow the normal BiB to get on with the more serious crimes and not have to deal with the frankly petty stuff... Its not stealth tax... If you dont want the fine, dont do it... surely that is not difficult eh?
Lol anyone taking screen shots and sending it to FAILBLOG?
You've mentioned that it would be too much of a hassle for you to take public transport... Maybe there's a park and ride nearby which you can take and probably only add an extra 10-15mins to your commute?
There is not FREE public parking nearby... So surely there will be some parking you can pay for? There's a car park i use in town now which charge £3 a day which is run by the British Legion, failing that i can pay for a public car park which costs £8 a day! I used to spend a bit of time towards the end of the month parking at out of town retail parks and walk 15 mins to work...
You've stated that because you're at work then everyone else should be at work therefore dont use there space.
If someone parks on your drive without asking while you're out at work, you come home early one day and find the sod still parked there I'm pritty sure you'll be fuming.
Many have already suggested you try and strike up a deal with one of the residents... I used to park in a private parking space in town, but that was after I had asked the owner of the property when i noticed he was going to work every morning aswell... paid him £10 a week for use of his parking space when he wasnt using it, just had to make sure i was gone by 5.30! lovely chap! pitty he moved!
As many have also stated, why have a job where there is no parking and you're too lazy to use public transport?

There's no requirement for a cop to show you his ID
I refer you to section 42 of the police reform act 2002.Most forces will have a <i>policy</i> about ID cards that will be along the lines of police officers ought to show it when politely asked to, but that is not the same as there being a legal requirement to have warrant card on you in order to carry out your duties, including the issue of an FPN.

What do you think a proper warrant card is?
That?
Some holo images etc, so that it cannot be faked "easily".
What I saw was just a plain looking ID card, on plain plastic, no holographic images, something I could probably make it about 5 minutes
My warrant card is "portrait" format (used to be landscape until not too long ago).
It says "POLICE Warrant Card", has my photo, name, rank and shoulder number, the force crest and that's it.
No holograms, no signatures (mine or the Chief's), no card number, no warrant number. All there is on the back is my name, a warning not to leave my card unattended, and an "If found, please return to the nearest Police station".
Quite unimpressive, and I'm sure I could knock something up that would be more "believable" in photoshop.
The old cards used to have "This is to certify [name] whose photograph appears holds the rank of [rank and shoulder number] in the [xyz Police]. This is the WARRANT and AUTHORITY for executing the duties of the office", and was signed by the Chief Constable.
The new ones are at least credit card sized plastic, the old ones were slighter bigger and laminated card.
The note on your window is obviously very annoying, and you'd be upset. However you don't need to litter because of it.
So now you've been seen littering and fined, yes that's also annoying. However, how long have you been enjoying the free parking there? Surely if you'd paid parking for a month you'd have paid that anyway.
Suck it up, and show some more respect for your surroundings and people just doing their jobs. If you'd not littered, you wouldn't have been fined. It's not hard to understand is it?

I only work at this place now and then (2-3 days a week), and I refuse to pay to park in a city where I've paid council tax before, on roads that are funded from income tax I've paid before and funded by fuel duty, vehicle excise duty, vat, and so on.
For all that money I damn well expect the council to provide an adequate bus service (which they have not) or free parking (which they do not).

So basically you lot now simply have cards that are easy to fake ... great to know, I think I'll go make my self one and get some ebay uniform and badge
Anything can be forged/faked, it all depends on how much time, money and inclination you have.The main point I was making is that all forces cards are different, so you'd at least have to know what the force's current card looked like as a starter for 10.

Why don't you just give up your job then and live of the social? I mean after all, you've earned it, you've been paying your taxes dutifully.For all that money I damn well expect the council to provide an adequate bus service (which they have not) or free parking (which they do not).
Alternatively, have the balls to admit you made a mistake and stop whining about it and trying to blame everyone else for your mistake. Grow some and move on

When they offer free parking and more or less everyone drives in you'll start a thread "The Nazis have designed a stupid carpark as i can get a space as everyone else is earlier than me!"For all that money I damn well expect the council to provide an adequate bus service (which they have not) or free parking (which they do not).
f
king hell you don't half sound like an idiot.
You're complaining about there being no free parking, no bus service (which is bullst), somebody gluing a bit of paper on your car, someone fining you for littering, the person fining you not being a police officer, the police officers attending not providing you with "the proper ID", having to pay to park on roads.
Look, you parked your car on private land. Someone, presumably a local resident, annoyed with your behaviour, did something a bit silly. You then compounded this silliness by littering. When confronted about your littering (and there's no excuse for it, NONE), you got all arsey about it.
I can't stand litter, its lazy, selfish, and deserves to be punished. Tough st. Don't drop litter, and don't come moaning in here when you park on private property and bad things happen. You could have been clamped, think yourself lucky.

Instead there is only a small 2 storey car park for a shopping centre, and then 3-4 large normal car parks.
If all this was turned to multi storey plus basement levels there would be LOTS of parking available for everyone

My balls are fine thanks, and I made no mistake in parking as there is no LEGAL enforcement or signage for the "no parking"
Well that's a relief!You mentioned you parked ona private road. There may well be now legal enforcement or signs (not signage, that's Nuspeek not English) in place but equally you have no legal right to park where you deem fit. Why do you expect the council/government/Flying Spaghetti Monster to provide you with parking close to your chosen place of work? Millions of people manage to find a sollution that doesn't involve getting FPN's being issued.
As it is, you seem convinced of your own infallability so I'll leave you in peace, I'm sure you'll get it sorted out although I suspect you'll be paying that £55 FPN.

Get onto google (instead of wasting bandwidth on here) and research the local constabulary, the local council's roads department, the managers of the private road which you have parked on and the local transport comapanies. Tell them all how important you are (how many directorships do you hold BTW?) then demand that they supply you with free parking (as you are too tight important to pay like everyone else) and it must be within 2 minutes walk of the place you visit 2-3 times per week (as you are too fking lazy important to walk for a few minutes).
Please report back and let us know how you get on!
king Please report back and let us know how you get on!

Other countries seem to provide lots of cheap/free parking (*cough* USA *cough*) outside of major cities (Oxford is not London ffs)For all that money I damn well expect the council to provide an adequate bus service (which they have not) or free parking (which they do not).
I pay more money than you in tax... therefore can I expect a free bus to pick me up outside the door of my flat and drop me off at canary wharf at my work... Or is that now how it works?
