As many of you will know from reading HJ in The Daily Telegraph there is a clause in a bill before parliament at the moment that seems to be going unchallenged.

Part 3, Chapter 2, Clause 56 of The Protection of Freedoms is designed to make the registered keeper liable for any parking fines where it is not possible to identify the driver responsible for the parking infringement. This clause has the backing of, and heavy lobbying from, the British Parking Association due to the revenue stream it will generate for its members.

The premis of innocent until proven guilty will be removed from a purely civil matter using heavy handed criminal powers. This can not go unchallenged anymore. I urge you all to contact your not only contact your MP but also to sign an e-petition that has been set up.

We have seen recently that these do seem to work if 'the people' are aware of them.
