I've not seen this incident. I really hope the 'victim' complains. I have seen these warden chaps lurking in cars waiting to pounce usually on people doing others a favour like collecting and dropping off and in the side streets round here.They seem to target the double yellow lines on corners. They are there to stop vehicles being parked there all day and overhanging the corners and causing obstructions but this is ticketing people who are dropping off and assisting others.Some of these restrictions are too long and excessive for the task they are there to remedy. Others less so.That little hairdressers salon cater for a lot of older ladies and this sort of ambush tactic is a total disgrace.Sure, park badly and cause a real obstruction, issue a ticket. Park for 10 or 15 mins, issue a ticket but writing out a ticket in their vehicle also illegally parked and then dashing out to issue it by stealth is totally unreasonable. This is practice for police states not a sleepy back street neighbourhood in a so called caring and fair society.I hope councillors take note and ask a few questions of the officers in charge what on earth they are playing at.
