Parking ticket - wrong date.

[guydewdney]

I have done a fair bit of looking around - and it seems that _some_ magistrates will just say "amend the ticket correctly" - - which I cant believe!

Surely there is the element of 'beyond reasonable doubt' - which, if the issuing officer cant get either the date right, or the colour. Then is it not reasonable to assume they could well have got the time wrong, or the location wrong, or, indeed the registration wrong? Or - more importantly, if the area in question has the correct signage etc etc.

Its a gamble I s'pose.

It's nice to see that not only is corruption and bribery rife in our police forces but also that people seem to be proud to admit to it.....

He did say many years ago. Hopefully he would get a 'hard stare' (a la Paddington) if he tried such a trick these days.

If it were me writing the letter I would put less sarcasm in it!

Be polite, treat the details as undeniable facts and act dumb.

Well said.
