Unless you really got the time to go to court over having a ■■■■■ in a lay-by.
Councils love people like you just pay pay pay.
Indeed.
But I’d have to take a day off to attend court. Then I’d have to do some research and a lot of other crap. It would be hassle.
The hassle to me would cost more than the fine.
Yea, presuming you win you might get costs back. Presuming you win.
Daani:
There is no law regarding urinating so you can’t get done fot that.
Also the mentioned section is about littering which doesnt apply unless you were seen throwing rubbish on the floor.
Discount if payed within 14 days is usually half the amount. In your case its only 20 pounds reduction which is another reason for me to think its a scare or prank.
Also no reference number and appeal process.
None directly to urinating plenty about outraging public decency
And about littering. The original post, now deleted, made it clear that was the alleged offence.
If someone leaves waste in a lay-by, that is covered by law.
Its the same as leaving other waste, be it solids or liquids, paper or pee, its all waste.
I know this is slightly different but Lincolnshire county council tried to fine me for throwing a crisp packet out of the window. I don’t eat crisps anyway so when I got the letter through the post I refused to pay.
I wrote to them and said I don’t eat crisps and what proof have you got. They replied that a council worker saw a crisp packet blow up between the trailer rear wheels.
They dropped the case. So unless they got proof don’t pay it.
I stand by my original comment; have your day in court, swear under oath that the “photographer” was pestering you for ■■■ which you refused causing him umbrage. They’ll drop it quicker than a hot potato.
