Photos are not usually taken when the vehicle is first observed. Firstly, the vehicle is entered into a notebook - then the valve positions of the wheels at the kerbside are noted. This is then signed by the Parking Attendant. 30 minutes later, they return and check again, noting down the valves. If no change, they issue, and at that point take photographs. The notebook is in time order and cannot be altered, therefore is admissible in court along with the photographs as supplementary evidence. Too many people think the photos are the most important part - if there was no photo the PCN is still enforceable.

Assuming that the PA has actually noted the valve positions and the times he/she first noted them in their notebook of course.

Pink.Topaz · 20th December 2006, 18:25

Wouldn't be any point in not doing so really. The PA would be acting unprofessionally and would also know that the ticket probably wouldn't stand.

well the council have cancelled the ticket today - WINNER IS ME!!!!!
