A cause for great celebration. Hopefully it will establish precedents in law that will influence future cases in favour of the motorist.

not before time
i once locked a clamper in the back of a police van for nearly an hour (Breach of the Peace), because he was so unreasonable and the clampers mate had run off with the keys to the tow truck, which had a car attached to it (in the air) and we couldn't lower it without the truck's ignition on ...they'd clamped a shop owner in his own car park, who'd parked a courtesy car without a clampers parking ticket in the window...so despite the fact the shop owner himself had authorised the clampers to work there in the first place..and they knew that.. they still tried it on. When an arguement ensued about the clamp, they called the tow truck, which conveniently was parked 'nearby'.
Eventually the man locked in the back of the police van was allowed to ring the one that had run off and he came back with the keys, but only because otherwise oik number one would have gone to the nick for the whole weekend.. although strictly speaking it should have been dealt with as a civil dispute as it was on private property...
Why on earth can't we have legislation like they do in Scotland?

Well done Westpig, proper old-fashioned clip over the ear policing, chapeau...
Clearly the bench quoted in the OP was of like mind in giving these rather unpleasant people a short sharp shock. But I can't see them doing much bird really, not with the jails chock-a-block.

Great Expectations in respect of the SIA with this form of theft. Delivery by SIA next to nothing. Why don't Westminster follow where Scotland led ???

Just remembered another example of that. Two of my wife's cousins, brothers, were once hauled in to Oxford central nick in an inebriated state. One was fairly stoical but the other was making a shrill drunken clamour. They are fairly used to that in that particular nick - I did it myself there once actually - so they are quite world-weary and irritable about it.
My wife's noisy cousin fell silent after a young copper had asked deadpan: 'Shall I beat him up now Sarge?'

I've said it before etc
Are there no lengths that certain undesirable people will go to to avoid the pain of a proper days work.
Just imagine if the people that operate this sort of 'service' actually used that cunning intelligence to create something worthwhile.
Looked at the link, just goes to show, you can't judge by appearences.
