You can't ignore parking fines, can you?

Re: You can't ignore parking fines, can you?

No, I did not ask the question on that other forum. I really came find here to find out if there's any truth to his claims that he has no right to pay for parking tickets.

Frankly I think he is a crackpot, I don't like his "the rules don't apply to me" attitude, I don't think he's very intelligent at all, he might have read some things but I really doubt he has a clue what he's on about. He's using it to behave like a pikey, even if he doesn't mean to be like this, to me that's what he's like. If you disagree with parking charges, don't use those spaces, no one is forcing you to park there. Parking there anyway and protesting against charges that are clearly stated (there's no deception) is just stupid. I don't care about the money he's costing the council, it's his principles that I find totally pathetic and misguided. He doesn't seem to be protesting against anything worthwhile, self-righteous people like him are just making a nuisance of themselves. Like those people who film police officers and refuse to switch their cameras off when asked and start spouting all this crap about their rights (which probably isn't too accurate) making complete fools of themselves. If I was filming anyone and they asked me not to, I would do so out of common courtesy. They aren't achieving anything, they're just wasting the time of policemen who supposed to be fighting crime and preserving law and order. I think anyone who truly thinks we live in a corrupt country or a police state is soft in the head and full of crap.

This bloke is classic example of "a little knowledge is dangerous thing". If he has a law degree, or any proper degree, I'll eat my hat. He's a simpleton.

I wish I'd had a video running on my last encounter with the police

So what he's done is basically write waffling letters quoting bits of common law, bill of rights etc., whoever read the letters (perhaps not a lawyer) was bamboozled by it, couldn't tell whether it was correct or not and just sent another kind of pre-written letter, and he's gotten away with it because the lawyers have not had the time to deconstruct it and prove it wrong, and it's not been prioritised? Is that it?

My personal opinion is that he would have got the same result if he just refused to pay, and said nothing about the law. If they really wanted to pursue him for the debt they would have.

I don't know why it is such a surprise to you, it is what we have been trying to tell you for the last 100 posts

Personally I disagree. It's a valid discussion to have in relation to whether or not the guy has a valid argument over parking fines which are given by the local council. I don't think Graham has come here to cause trouble but as I said, personally, I would ask the question on the pepipoo site because they are the experts on parking fines: http://forums.pepipoo.com/

They would have a take on this but I think his first post on there needs to simply ask the question whether this approach is really legal without the other stuff.

They'll rip him apart

Oh yeah, you really made it crystal clear, I was just too dumb to understand. So the truth is, councils are so busy that you can just tell them to get lost if they give you a parking fine, they'll only come after you if you get one fine too many?

I see nothing wrong those police officers' conduct.

I agree it is a valid discussion to have over the parking issue and whether or not the guy in the utube vid has a valid argument. Personally I admire the guy's stance although as GO84 says he is not the sharpest tool in the box.But why was he insisting on asking whether or not members in here are "Lawyers" and if they are legally qualified etc? It doesn't take a genius to work out that many of the members in here have an excellent knowledge of the law whether they are legally qualified or not is their business and they offer their advice free of charge. It just came across to me that he had an ulterior motive and was fishing for information.

Again my personal view. :spy:
