Please, only helpful replies if you understand the law as this is a serious thread.
This is the scenario. This was this morning approx 10:30am
Dad & I were filming with Jeremy Kyle for a show on the sex industry to be screened in the summer, Dads a photographer & works in the industry.
I pulled up outside a club in Peterborough, the bays were half hour ticket bays. The crew carried my stuff into the club, I was right outside. I had to ask the manager there to change a £20:00 note for the machine, at the same time Jeremy was telling me what/where when etc.
I estimate no more than 4 mins had passed & I went to pay the ticket when a traffic warden had already got my car. I explained & he basically said "Thats it, I was watching from behind a van up the road & I made it nearly 6 minutes, nothing I can do-appeal if you want to" I was mad as hell! He also said "You might as well leave it there now"
So I do for an hour whilst filming. However, I then phoned Peterborough City Council to be told "Did you buy a ticket?" I didn't as I was told to leave it there now anyway but was & am so mad I cant leave it. "If you had brought a ticket you could have appealed, as you didn't there's nothing further you can do except pay your fine"
So is this it? Have I lost all rights now? It's not the money-it's the way it has been done & I feel I have been stitched.
Does anyone know if I can still appeal this? & where? I just cant let this one go-Grrrr I'm mad!
I would appreciate any advice or help with this please Guys-secretly hoping there's a solicitor here.
I have a lot of witnesses that will swear it was 4 mins inc Jeremy.
Thanks in advance
Kelly
