In our local newspaper this week the banner headline is, "Drivers beware: parking spy-car planned". Now spying is something that is done covertly. So how can we call this a spy car when emblazoned on the bodywork is "CCTV mobile traffic and parking enforcement" AND there's a CCTV camera stuck up on a pole going up about ten feet above the roof! I don't think it will be able to 'creep' up on unsuspecting motorists!
Various people were quoted in the article who are against this car. It's interesting that people object to being fined for parking illegally. When they do this, they normally cause an obstruction which often causes traffic congestion. And when I'm held up because of illegally parked cars, I'm all for the "spy-car"!
But I bet it'll never be there when you want it ...
