Motorists are guilty until proved innocent


It is disturbing to hear that parking fines will be issued without giving drivers notice, and that the word of a parking attendant will be gospel without any need to provide photographic evidence that any offence has been committed.

This reminds me of the kangaroo courts in prison where the word of a prison officer is taken for gospel in the belief that all prisoners are liars.

It is getting difficult to argue that this is not just another form of revenue collecting, and not just a road safety issue, when laws are going to be passed to ban motorists from possessing lasers and speed camera detectors.

Lets face it, motorists have always been easy targets. When some more enlightened folk cast warnings of the impending police state, idiots clamoured to mock them and call them "conspiracy theorists" in an effort to discredit them.

WHO WAS RIGHT? Looks pretty true to me. Can't smoke here, can't smoke there, mustn't east fatty foods like sausages, musn't drive too fast, mustn't enjoy a drink at the weekend..... it's friggin' Oliver Cromwell revisited. That bastard Brown will be banning Christmas next, you mark my words.
