Non fumatore ha multato £ 433 per far cadere il sedere di sigaretta a Manchester

> and then they had to go and find the guy’s camera evidence and that took a few days, and then eventually they realised that it wasn’t me”.

False details provided by the offender, the council being slow and reluctant to verify his evidence, but then admitting they were wrong. Why they didn’t stop the prosecution seems like incompetence or it was too late to by the time they realised they were accusing the wrong person.

In any case, apart of the distress caused, it looks like the council is doing everything to reverse the outcome and put things right.

I’d like to see a pic of the person who did drop it, just so I know what the litter enforcement person meant by hat hair when recording the litterbugs description.

How can he be convicted when the evidence is clearly wrong.

I can understand the fine being issued to the wrong details if the actual offender lied, sure. But once disputed to go all the way to an actual conviction is ridiculous.

Too overzealous for such a minor crime – need to review the whole thing and make some personnel changes.

I had a parking fine from evil eye cameras, I gave them the chance as I told them it couldn’t be me as I was else where at the time.

They refused because of the video evidence and took me to court, I showed the judge another legal parking ticket from another city 200 miles away at the same day. They paid my costs, but nothing else was done to the parking company as they didn’t admit liability.

Four months later another ticket from the same numskulls, same thing happened again went to court but I had to fight to be heard as it was going to be heard in part of a ton of other ticket to save costs, they were just going to find everyone on mass. Same thing they paid costs after I showed another day ticket but as no one turned up who could help only a solicitor the judge didn’t seem to care,

Im waiting for the next one as I know know what causes it now they have two entrances but only one camera, they refuse to fix the issue because they are catching a significant amount of local people out who have no evidence of being elsewhere.

What the problem is if you told them to fuck off and walked away when they tried to fine you, you would be alright as they have no real powers. But if you tried to be a good member of society you would be stuck with a £400 fine
