Clamping ban

[hhh_88873]

Just a thought that crossed my mind during some studies in the industry that Im doing at the mp, has there been anyone found themselves illegally clamped since the clamping ban came in? and what did you do about it if you did?

Certainly not recently. What can you do? Well, call the police of cut the clamp off. The latter may get a complaint of criminal damage but that would be the unwisest police complaint ever as they would have to admit criminal damge to your vehicle attaching it in the first place. Therefore the law doesnt allow for such a complaint.

mate of mine got clamped years ago,so he returned later with angle grinder in hand & removed the clamp,

took it to local police station stating he found it attached to his vehicle but didn't know whom it belonged to,so was handing it in as lost property.

to this day never heard anything since.result.

I've noticed that a local car park still has the 'you will be clamped' signs up, is this allowed?

Yes however they cant carry out the threat, its a bit like the thousands of signs you see stating "Trespassers will be prosecuted" cant see ex clampers spending money taking the signs down now their revenue has gone.

If the person who put the sign up owns the land they can still clamp you but cannot charge you to be released. So, who wants to spend all day removing clamps for free?
