NZ Wheel Clamping. Cunts

[Headbanger]

People, I need a favour.

Can some one go visit NZ Wheel Clamping and throw a rock through their window?....

Not for me, for this guy.

If you manage to bounce the brick off Gordon Ward then thats a bonus.

I'd do it myself but my throwing arm isn't good enough to get a projectile from here to there....

''he was clamped because he displayed his valid permit on the wrong area of his dashboard''.

I dont know what to say to that..
Uneducated imbecile's must be employed by the Clamping company.

Uneducated imbecile's must be employed by the Clamping company.

But at $180 bucks a clamp, they must be paid well! Wonder if they work on commission?

That shit is fucking ridiculous, I thought $40 parking fines were a bit steep, who lets the pricks charge 180

[oldrider]

Forgive them (all) for they know not what they do .... so many rules ... so many opinions!

[Headbanger]

I got a real shock, having my bundle of groceries to put in. I said, 'Look, my card is on my dashboard, come and have a look."

Yesterday the company's group manager, Sean Hika, said agents did not have the authority to take a clamp off without payment or give on-the-spot refunds.

Filthy cunts, They claim they can fit them, But even in the face of a total fuckup they don't have the power to remove them?

I almost want to drive up there, park my car in front of them and dare them to do their worst.


maybe someone needs to visit their offices and clamp their cars.

Hire a sneaky lock picker to follow them around, and take all the clamps off, then go clamp all the management cars wheels with them just before knock off on friday! And if the marks on the clamps referring to what key will open them get rubbed off in transport, all the better

The whole argument of the clamping company is fill of contradictions. If no discretion is held with the guys on the ground how come the fine had already been reduced by them? They have to use discretion when deciding to clamp someone so saying it is held by a call centre that can't see the situation is :BS:

As for the getting involved in a civil matter I think that dick needs a kick in the nads. When you prevent someone using their stuff it is no longer a civil matter. This isn't just a $ transaction, you have basically falsely arrested the war veteran because you are preventing him leaving when he did have a valid permit. Pity the didn't have the clamp removed and the clampers imprisoned plus their boss. Glad they at least tried to sort it and protect the public.

I just love the way wheel clamping frees up the parking spot that someone shouldn't be parked in.

[pzkpfw]

Not saying they are right, but don't pre-judge. Vigilanteism isn't what society needs.

They clamped someone in a disabled park. If the person who parked there had turned out to be fully abled we'd all be cheering that they got clamped. (edit: though Bassmatt makes a good point...)

The company claims to have photos that show the pass wasn't displayed. If that turns out to trump the claim that the pass simply was in the wrong place and hard to see, then the clamper was clearly just doing their job.

Even judgement on the ground - I can see why they (claim) they can't allow decisions on the spot. Anyone can pull a fast one to get out of a fine. (Though I do think the on the spot reduction of the fine smells fishy).


I'm all for the rights of elderly veterans, but wait and see how it all pans out before throwing bricks through windows.

(The guy himself showed guts and honour by refusing the contents of the passed-around hat. We shouldn't treat him as a helpless old Man that we need to force our help on.)

OK, here's what you do if you get clamped. Dont ring the clampers.

Ring a tow taxi or something. Get them to pick up your car and take it to your house and drop it off there. THEN ring the clamping company and say "come and remove this clamp, or I will gas axe the thing off. You have two hours to get your arse here and do that. If you dont do it I will remove the clamp myself."

Any subsequent claim by them for clamping fees you can say "Thats fine, see you in Court mofo". Since the clamp is evidence, I will retain that to exhibit in the proceedings, after I have removed it".

don't use the word "Fine" in this context. At best their right to levy a fee is granted by the owner of the land. Its a civil matter, not criminal.

The problem is no legislation on wheel clamping.

I was rapt to hear about the guy who took the company to the Disputes Tribunal (and won) last year. I had hoped it would lead to rules being drawn up.

However, what does the the Minister of Justice do? He come up with a voluntary code of practice! Ffs! He could sort it out a damn sight better than that.

The problem is a lack of scissor kicks to the face.

The fee might be a civil matter but once they prevent the person from leaving by falsely imprisoning their transport it should become criminal. The same if you sneak into the theatre and instead of kicking you out they lock you in a room until you pay a fee your imprisonment would be considered a criminal matter.
