'Photographic clampers' are buying info from the DVLA and billing legal parkers for scam fees. The DVLA claim that they are 'not responsible' for the use of info they supply...

This is a scam beyond the wildest dreams of the Scameras mob.

Note also the response from the DVLA here:

In particular:



So the call is taken by a recent shcool leaver who's on £6 an hour. It takes 10 minutes, tops, to do the check and relay the results over the phone. Sounds very much like profit-making to me. At the very least it's job creation (just like the SCPs).

A$$-raping the motorist is becoming one of the UK's big growth industries.

I loved the example of a warning sign high up on a wall so that that you would have to stop the car to read it. By stopping you would have accepted the parking fee and a camera would have recorded your car.

Now where can I buy a camera and get some small signs made? I think its time for retirement!

Personally I think that people who carry out these scams should be put in stocks and pelted with fruit and veg (still in their cans of course)

.... not to mention they did it to an on call police car

AFAIK the vast majority of the requests are fulfilled using a computer link to the DVLA. Perhaps there might be a few who use the phone or post, but those processing by volume would use the computer link purely for time-saving reasons. Oddly the cost is the same, despite the cost of the computer link being limited to the setup and maintenance costs...
