thing is u dont want your wheels clamped

im not sure why they put a fine on some cars and clamp others in the same carpark maybe they run out of wheel clamps or they put the fine on and clamp you later?

Wheel clamps are definitely a problem now, but as mentioned above, it's nothing an angle grinder can't fix I'm sure a few of us would be willing to pitch in if someone were stuck.

I think most of us have had bad experiences with parking inspectors around the CBD and northbridge. Driving our cars will nearly always attract the inspector with even more of an attitude.

I recently had an issue in perth where I had parked in a 15min spot on king street and the a**hole began screaming abuse (progressively getting louder) at me once he saw me unlock my car and then continued printing his ticket. I didn't bother giving him the satisfaction of an argument, I just jumped in and drove off and never ended up receiving any mail regarding the issue or being reminded for payment of any kind/amount by fines enforcement.

The fact is nearly all of these guys are so depressed with their own lives working a shitty job they hate because they have no f*cking direction in life or the inclination to do anything worthwhile with their time, they find the need to inconvenience people with real lives and jobs

:werd: :werd:

If i could get the smiley "werd" to work i would have put it here Jengus... well said, of pure boredom in their general job when someone is out of line they reallly snap at them even for being 5 mins overparked...

i guess if you picture yourself being a garbage cleaner.... if someone threw litter down on the ground you would want to rip their head off! i guess it relates to job specificity...... just petty things can set them off in their boring job.

When u get a fine initially they take your rego, and when they go round checking cars, if they have taken your rego previously, and you have fines outstanding, they clamp you.

Apparently people have been trying to shut down the clamping through legal means with no success (i think they have some influential people connected to them), especially seeing that similar attempts in the east have been successfull in the eastern states...

Umm nothing can really be done if it's in a private car park, that is it just costs to bloody much for them to enforce it.

There is the wheel clamping thing. Now to get around this you cut the padlock off and REPLACE it. No criminal damages done.

If anyone can find a precedent for this in WA I'd love to hear it.
