Nice Speaker Installation Down The Local Bowling Alley

Maybe the word fine is a poor choice, remote reset charge.

It's funny you should mention actually, a friend of mine was asking about ANPR for car parks earlier as with the recent rule change for registered keepers thought it might be the business to get into.

Would ANPR deliver Effective Car Parking Management ?

I seem to recall people didn't previously find it funny.

I don't think the recent changes to the rules have helped anyone in that department. It's still a case that anyone who parks on private land can blatantly get away with it now without really any fear of having to pay parking tickets or being clamped now illegal.

I don't regret one bit of getting into ANPR, the only bit I regret is taking the out of court settlement to keep quiet about it! That MP that enjoyed slandering me to the hilt and hiding behind his privilege has for a while no longer had that privilege and is just a member of Joe public.

The parking industry is always an emotive subject, but I was quite naive to how emotive at the time. I still feel sorry for the landowners who have their parking abused and now there is nothing in the parking industry can do too assist landowners from people taking advantage of abusing their land and now being able to do nothing about it.

Matthew were you into ANPR or just ticketing sites?

Pull that from one of your old marketing blurbs?

It's an interesting story, and not one where the truth has been made public. I did vow one day to publish every document in connection to that once the time restrictions I agreed to had elapsed. You've probably gathered from my previous posts or those of you who know me well personally that I'm a very fair person, and incredibly reasonable and quite kind at heart albeit with a bit of a rough exterior.

I have nothing I did at the time that I regret or would feel bad if it was published on the Internet. What wasn't known much about at the time was the MP who went on a crusade to vilify me, had himself got a parking ticket and was banged to rights. He told be if I didn't let him off for who he was, he'd make my life hell and that he did. Should I have let him off, in my opinion no as he was in the wrong. The only mistake I made was accepting a cheque from our client at the time for a lot of money to take the majority of the heat off them. That I regret immensely.

I'll check the details of the disclosure agreement and if you guys have any interest, you can read the whole story but with the truths elements in it this time. I believe the time was 5 years and its either approaching that or 5 years has elapsed already.

your playing a dangerous game withholding the urn at your discretion,as norm says the worst will happen when you decide they dont deserve police responce,i take it your insurance covers you for this,the customers wont thats for sure...

[Cubit]

I think history as shown that you vilified yourself without assistance from others.

99% ANPR. It was a good revenue earner although the ANPR was expensive, it had a reasonable ROI. I was reading the forum that had it in for me earlier today and they are still there doing the same old same old having ago at every parking operator under the sun and telling people who disregarding parking rules how to get off with it.Maybe I'm just strange, rut I don't abuse parking rules so I don't get fines, pcns or anything else you want to call them. .I've only had 2 parking tickets in my 14 years if driving and I deserved them both.

Before they get a URN they sign an agreement with our policy in. Would it hold up in court, dunno. The reason we do it, and I appreciate it is a bit from the norm is that in the UK we are lucky in that the police still respond to alarms. In many other countries this died and I would love to keep it. If we don't fix the issue of false call outs, my fear is we will just get turned off, similar to how the fire brigades have started and that's bad for everyone.The policy isn't there as a revenue earner, it's there to make the users sit up and realise that making hoax calls to the police is the wrong thing to do, and something I'd like to see stop so we can have some credibility with the police when passing calls to them.
