Ban on car parking cameras and 'spy cars' considered in England
1 hour ago

Roy Tunstall, from Liverpool City Council, says CCTV vans act as a "high-visibility deterrent"
Fixed cameras and what critics call spy cars used to catch people parking illegally could be banned in England.

Communities Secretary Eric Pickles said he wanted to "rein in over-zealous and unfair rules", and that traffic wardens with cameras could do the job instead.

Static and car mounted cameras have been used to issue more than 10 million fines, totalling £301m, in the past five years, the Conservatives say.

Councils say the cameras help to keep roads safe, especially near schools.

The law could be changed "well before Easter", Mr Pickles told the BBC.

Some 75 councils currently have permission to use CCTV cameras or "approved devices" to enforce parking restrictions, under Labour's 2004 Traffic Management Act.

In these areas, a third of all parking fines are now issued via CCTV rather than by parking wardens, case studies suggest.

Meanwhile, a study by the Audit Commission found one in three councils was earning more money through parking charges and school meals than council tax.

Ahead of the Tories' annual conference, which starts on Sunday, Mr Pickles said restrictions were damaging town centres and being enforced unfairly.

The party has announced a series of proposals including:

Banning static CCTV parking cameras and car mounted cameras, instead allowing only visible traffic wardens to film vehicles
Publishing "open data" on parking
Updating guidelines to help people use local shops more easily
Improving people's "rights of redress" when fined inappropriately
Stopping "unacceptable and aggressive parking fine collection practices"
Reviewing "unnecessary" yellow lines
A Conservative Party briefing says using CCTV for parking enforcement "is detrimental to natural justice", as penalty notices are received in the post "with no opportunity for the driver to examine the parking location as it was at the time of the alleged contravention".

Mr Pickles added: "We want to rein in these over-zealous and unfair rules on parking enforcement, so it focuses on supporting high streets and motorists, not raising money.

"Parking spy cars are just one example of this and a step too far. Public confidence is strengthened in CCTV if it is used to tackle crime, not to raise money for council coffers."

Civil liberties campaigners called for a "serious debate" about what they said was the UK's "uniquely high level of CCTV surveillance".

"Councils should be transparent with residents about how many tickets are being issued with CCTV and how many criminals are being convicted," said Nick Pickles from the Big Brother Watch group.

"That way residents can decide for themselves if they really are better off with the cameras watching them."

'Law is clear'

But Tony Ball, of the Local Government Association, which represents councils, said parking controls were "not about revenue raising" but were "absolutely essential" for allowing people to leave their cars near shops or their homes.

He added: "Camera cars have been instrumental in keeping children from being hurt or killed on the way to school, and CCTV plays an important role elsewhere in monitoring traffic flow and keeping cars moving.

"Nobody likes getting a parking fine but the fact that less than 1% go to adjudication shows that in the vast majority of cases councils get it right.

"Income from on-street parking fines and charges is spent on parking services with any money left over spent on services like fixing potholes and providing subsidised bus travel to children and the elderly."

'Hostility'

In response, Mr Pickles told BBC Breakfast: "It's okay for local authorities to say 'oh, it's all to save the children'. No it isn't. What this is about is raking in pretty large sums of money to fill the councils' coffers.

"The law's pretty clear. It says you're not allowed to do that. What we're going to do is enforce the law."

But road safety charity Brake said it made "very little financial or common sense" to remove cameras "which make our roads safer".

"We know that cameras are a very cost-effective way of enforcing traffic laws, while having individual officers trying to cover the same amount of work would cost a bomb," said senior campaigns officer Ellen Booth.

Meanwhile, motoring groups suggested parking policies were designed to make profit rather than improve roads.

"What really irritates drivers is the street-level hostility they feel is being waged against them," said AA president Edmund King.

"Drivers feel that civil enforcement officers are lurking in every street and are not there to deter them but to issue a ticket as soon as the driver's back is turned."

Professor Stephen Glaister, director of the RAC Foundation added: "Nobody wants a parking free for all, but they do want reasonable charges and fairness, whatever method is used to achieve it."

Police Looking for Canadian Biker Who Posted a Video of Himself Going 186mph – 300km/h

Some people just don't learn. As if riding your motorcycle on a public highway at speeds of up to 186 miles an hour or 300km/h isn't stupid enough and not to mention downright dangerous, a Canadian biker went ahead and posted the video of his crazy ride on YouTube for everybody and his mother to see…
After being notified about the video posted on YouTube by a user called “Joe Blow” on April 8, Saanich police in British Columbia received several tips from the public and were able to track down the blue Yamaha R1 and its owner, 25-year-old Randy George Scott of Victoria.

The Star Phoenix reported that Scott's mother was identified as the registered owner of the bike and was issued fines totaling $1,449, including $368 for driving without due care and attention, $483 for excessive speed and $598 for not having insurance. The cops also confiscated the Yamaha motorcycle.

Randy George Scott, however, remains on the lam and is now featured on the Saanich Police Department’s “Most Wanted” list.

You can view Scott's dangerous ride in the video that follows below the break.

Had a little shunt at work today.  Didnt fall off tho, only goin 15 mph while lookin for an address on the left hand side. Van in front about 10 mtr matchin my speed so i thought i was ok. It stopped and i looked round at the last sec and slammed brakes on and tried to avoid to the right and just crunced into his rear light with the left side of me fairin. Ouchy. (Bike not me) so i was just hangin there fer a few secs tryin to drag the bike upright but it was to far over so i binned it on its side. Its only a slow silver bandit after all. Hehe that fuked the lever an all. I sorta lifted my right leg an just dropped me hoss. Lucky bein a lanky git.

Glad it wasnt on my blue bullet or my insurance.
:-))

Still.... Lesson learnt ....dont drive like a cunt!!
