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.
