From my understanding of the bills of rights act this applies to criminal offences and more in particular "fines". I understand penalty charge notices are not criminal offences and are not fines - but charges and as such are not covered by this Act.<BR/><BR/>I have to say I was issued with a penalty charge notice and took my case to NPAS and I won, in fact the adjudicator was quite damning of the Council. Therefore I am confident that their function is to rule objectively and fairly. They certainly demonstrated this in my case.<BR/><BR/>Surely there are more worthy causes to pursue. I have yet to come across a case when you read all the paper articles on parking that the person did not actually deserve being issued with a ticket.<BR/><BR/>I think the simple answer is park legally and you will not be issued with a penalty charge notice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712829.post-1141757021460420762006-03-07T18:43:00.000+00:002006-03-07T18:43:00.000+00:00Please excuse my ignorance on this topic but after...Please excuse my ignorance on this topic but after reading your letter and a few of your earlier posts I am interested as to the reasoning behind your campaign against parking fines. Your letter states very well your argument as to why you feel the fine is unlawful and thus invalid, but I assume the reason you are perusing this is not to protect your Human Rights (as there are many much more worthy Human Rights campaigns in need of your support) more to express your annoyance at having to pay a local authority for a parking offence? I understand that there are issues with regards to how the new system is being implemented (I myself received a fine from a gentleman keen to get his quota, simply for having a wheel on a white line - I am a careful parker but was forced to do this as the car next to me had parked badly) but how else would you suggest parking restrictions be implemented? If people refuse to abide by simple rules then surely some sort of system is required to enforce this. And, surely any revenue generated from this would be best going back to the local community affected via the local authority? If you are not campaigning for the protection of your rights, then the only result of your campaign I see is the creation of more work for local authorities at the cost of local tax payers?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712829.post-1140432711925489672006-02-20T10:51:00.000+00:002006-02-20T10:51:00.000+00:00FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
