Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
I got a FPN for not wearing a seatbelt,which i wasn't,so i told the police they were filming motorists illegaly as the camera was on top of an unmarked white transit van 500 yards in front of the police cars,these cop cars were also hidden behind parked public cars and vans when they pulled me over.I know u should be able to see a police camera van 300 yards away and it should be marked,is this right?
The police were also filming on a road without street lights in daylight,it is illegal if they film u in the night without st lighting but is it illegal if they film u in daylight without st lights?
The camera sign was square with a white background and a black border...is this illigal?...because i saw in the paper that they had to have a red border round the edge of the sign,the sign was also hidden behind a tree which u couldn't see untill u came upon it...i've been told that u have to be able to See a camera sign from 300 meters away,is this right?
This is the main problem,i wrote to the police and asked for the police officers statement,when i received the statement i also was sent a photocopy of the FPN that i got that day,at the bottom of the photocopy the PC as added a comment but on my original FPN that he gave me,it doesn't say anything,is this purgery?

The only requirement for visibility is for a speed camera, when the proceeds will be 'netted off' to the camera partenership. In any case, it is only a guideline and is neither illegal, nor does it negate the offence if it is not clearly visible
The police were also filming on a road without street lights in daylight,it is illigal if they film u in the night without st lighting but is it illigal if they film u in daylight without st lights?
In neither case is it illegal (or even improper) to film without street lights. Even for a speed camera

No and no. A red border would make the sign non-prescribed, but it isn't prescriptive anyway. The 300M thing is total nonsense

No, perjury can only be committed under oath in Court. Unless the comment on the FPN is intended to mislead, it would be unlikely to be a case of attempting to pervert the course of justice anyway.
In all of this the Police have done nothing wrong, so your telling them that they were operating illegally probably got right up their noses. So, unsurprisingly, you've got a £30 FPN instead of a ticking off. You admit that you weren't wearing the belt anyway - just pay the ticket.
I think you are getting confused with a static Gatso camera.
You admitted the offence, so i would just pay it mate and get on with your life instead of trying the find an excuse not to pay.
This isn't a matter of,making an excuse to not pay.
The seatbelt offence is a tax and u should be able to wear it when u want.
PKea,what r u doing on this forum because nearly every1 on this site is in the same boat,trying to get off without paying a ticket for illegal reasons when they have commited an offence.
The real problem here is the PC as added a comment on the FPN when it isn't on my original FPN ticket,thats a lie because every PC is sworn to a section 9 statement for truth without going to court,do understand Patdavies?
Take a look at this link Patdavies which is about street lights then tell me if im wrong?

This is wrong what if a rear passenger dosent have one and kills the front passenger who is wearing one when they crash, it is there for your safety and for the safety of others

Hope that excudes me then as i am here to claim back what is unlawfull charges and to offer advise if i know the answer which is what Pat davies has done for you even though you may not like the answers it should be appreciated that someone has taken time to inform you. This site is not for avoidance of your responsibilities but to help you find answers to the questions you have, which is mainly in regards to UNLAWFULL bank charges.
Have read the link you provided and see the reference to street lighting and signs and if you wish to pursue this then good luck to you.

Firstly, it would be much easier to read your posts if they were posted in English rather than text-speak.
The seatbelt fine that you have been issued with is not a tax - it is a fine. You are legally required to wear a seat belt; in the same way that you must tax and insure your vehicle and ensure that it is in a roadworthy condition.
The majority of people here are not trying to get off tickets for illegal reasons. They are actually asking for (and receiving) advice about the legalities of the tickets issued. If the ticket is not legally issued, then it is void. PKea's comment is entirely reasonable
An FPN is not a Section 9 statement. It may form part of a section 9 statement if you take the matter to Court. Section 9 exists so that both sides in a dispute may accept the evidence in the statement without the need for the witness making the statement to attend in person. If you object to the statement, you are entitled to do so and the PC will be called as a witness in person.
The link that you have posted has absolutely nothing to do with being able to use cameras where there are no street lights. The case in the link is about the 30 mph limit being unenforcable due to the lack of streetlights - however they tried to enforce it. Cameras are used to enforce limits other than 30 mph, where there is no requirement for street lights.
This isn't a matter of,making an excuse to not pay.

This forum was started in response to unfair bank charges. It has expanded to cover other areas of consumer interest, including parking matters. However, in your case you were caught fair and square and given a fixed penalty for failing to wear your seatbelt. The law was changed in 1983 to make it compulsory to wear one. The wearing of seat belts has been shown to save lives.
As for your comment about people here illegally trying to avoid their liabilities, you are totally on the wrong track on that. This site is all about winning your case against the banks/authorities/retailers etc by using legal means. You would do well to remember that before you start off on your childish rants against another member.
My Point Oddjob is that you have at least three threads all about differnet FPNs you have recieved and it just appears to me that you want a way out of these.
You asked a question and Pat explained the reasons.
Then you ask him to explain himself.
From your initial comment you made to the Police, it seems that you will look for any excuse not to pay.
As for the seatbelt law, thats just coomon sense. I'd rather have a sore neck and still be in the seat rather than flung through a windscreen which happened a local girl recently, because she thought she didnt need one.
Any thats my two-peneth and opinion.
I will rephrase my post,Please comment on all questions except for childish idiots who call names,i used to call ppl names at school.
If u come here to get info on bank charges then tuff because my threads not about this so plz dont metion it in my thread.
You ppl dont know wat your taking about u contradict yourselves,if your PNC or FPN ticket is unlawful then it is illegal so i'll try to get away without paying even though i av committed the offence,but hold on a minute,some1 said if u committed the offence just pay the £30 and get on with your life.
Well it is the same thing with my FPN,no lighting on the st,illegal (your wrong PD read the link slowly next time with glasses and u will find that im right) parked speed camera van thats unmarked,illegal and theres a comment the photocopy of my FPN that the PC has but it isnt on my FPN ticket,illegal(PKea,my FPN is the same as the PC,your pathetic)
I never stated my FPN was a section 9,speculating again,rewrite all your posts again ppl because u all thrive on speculations.
PD,im not good at writing letters so dont try to pull me down for this,u understand wat "is" and "it" means dont u,so wats your problem.
Well, you only have one option then. Don't pay and take the option of having the case heard in a magistrates court. I'm sure the magistrates will find it fascinating to hear you ramble on about street lights and speed cameras in a case involving not wearing a seat belt.
I will rephrase my post,Please comment on all questions except for childish idiots who call names,i used to call ppl names at school.
Fair enough
You ppl dont know wat your taking about u contradict yourselves,if your PNC or FPN ticket is unlawful then it is illegal so i'll try to get away without paying even though i av committed the offence,but hold on a minute,some1 said if u committed the offence just pay the £30 and get on with your life.
Well it is the same thing with my FPN,no lighting on the st,illegal
I fail to see how the visibility of a speed camera and the absence (or otherwise) of street lighting have any bearing whatsoever on an FPN for failing to wear a seat belt
(your wrong PD read the link slowly next time with glasses and u will find that im right) parked speed camera van thats unmarked,illegal
I have read it again, slowly - and I don't need glasses. I am still right. In the case quoted, the requirement for streetlamps is to make the limit enforceable by any means. It has no bearing whatsoever on the use of speed cameras.
Speed cameras are only required to be highly visible if they belong to a speed camera partnership who intend to 'net off' the proceeds. There are no visibility requirements whatsoever for Police enforcement.
There are no requirements whatsoever for streetlamps to be present for camera enforcement to be lawful - or do you think that all motorway enforcement by camera is illegal?
and theres a comment the photocopy of my FPN that the PC has but it isnt on my FPN ticket,illegal(PKea,my FPN is the same as the PC,
This has been done to death already. An FPN is an offer to accept guilt for the offence and pay the fine without the need to attend court - with its potential for a variable fine and costs. Whatever the PC writes on his copy does not invalidate this; and certainly isn't illegal. Even if he (justifiably IMO) scrawled across his copy "This guy is a edited.....
your pathetic)
But I thought that you said you only called people names at school or are you (your quote) "a pathetic idiot"
You ppl know nowt your a bunsh of has beens,
Back to the name calling then.
You started this thread to ask for advice. You have been given, good sound information and advice. If you don't like it - tough. Either pay the FPN at £30 as advised, or write to the issuing authority to demand a court hearing - good luck. Or do nothing - I am sure that you will then be posting about how unfair the Baliffs are being
Don't forget to donate to this site, they gave us the backbone to put up a fight, we've learnt how to reclaim our rights and proved banks are all nothing but........ rubbish <wink>
I quote"speed cameras are required by law to be visible to passing traffic"which is stated in the st light link,so the law is wrong then PD.If u find a speed camera on the motorway that has now st lighting round it then u might be right on your speculation but ive never seen one without st lighting,your wrong again.
Why not comment on,ppl commit an offence of illegally parking they end up getting a ticket which they find out to be unlawful (illegal) should they get off without paying or should they pay it and get on with there lives,its the same thing with my FPN,should i get off with the seatbelt offence wen the speed camera was operating in an illegal place even though i committed the offence.
I had to write i quote "your pathetic" not pathetic idiot because PKea is pathetic just like u PD with your name calling on the FPN..well this should gives u something to speculate about.
PD im getting to know u now,u add things on that i haven't said in my post and then take away meanings that prove me right in wat i say,WHY?
You all bite quite easily wen your wrong so grow up children im sorry for waking u up,u can all go back to sleep now.
Mentallity Dollies01,wats mentallity to do with not wearing a seatbelt or av u got ya wires crossed,now1 on this forum as ever driven then without a seatbelt on av they,i believe u ppl thousands wouldn't.
The real problem here is the PC as added a comment on the FPN when it isn't on my original FPN ticket,thats a lie because every PC is sworn to a section 9 statement for truth without going to court,do understand Patdavies?
