Displaying WOF and Reg stickers

[Taxythingy]

There was a parking warden who tagged a cops personal Harley for having the licence label in the wrong place. It was mounted on the front frame member by the Harley dealer. As they had done with all the Harleys they sold.

The ticket stood. It's an offence. Fair to say it started something big a war of the tickets.

This is going to be good...

Parking Wardens in our town watch their Ps and Qs when driving.

Or else.

Mine rego came mounted on the side near the rearsets. Not even sure where the WOF is located.

I don't believe parking wardens should be concerned with wof and regos. Ever.

Having that little bit of perceived power makes their minge twinge, yes even the male ones.

Trying to take a photo of a ship berthed at Princes Wharf some years ago, I stepped inside that red fence a few meters to get a better shot, this security guard came up to me and asked ...conversation went as follows.

''Are you boarding the boat''?
''No just want a photo''
''Step back out onto the foot path please'' so I took a couple of steps back.
''Is this far enough''?
''No'' so I took a couple of steps back.
''Is this far enough''?
''No'' so I take couple more steps back
''How about now''?
''Back on the foot path please'' so now I am on the foot path
''Is this okay''?
''Yes''.

''Right now get out of my fucking way so that I can take a photo''

Agreed but... The Council here used to have a rule to the effect that no employee was ever to place themselves in an adversarial situation with a rate payer. Of course as soon as there was a buck in it that rule went out the window.

Aye. It's not like councils are at all interested in people doing business in their shitty little kingdoms, now is it?

I certainly don't bother, they became far too pompous and difficult to deal with decades ago, and I've avoided their various commercial incarnations wherever possible ever since.



Grasping cunts.

Someone once said ''Geez you've got a lot of teeth for a smart cunt'' not sure it was directed at me, but it was said.

I'm actually interested in how they get paid.
We know they cops are acting as a profit making organisation & being hired by the NZTA to do their job for them in complete contravene to the rules that be from my understanding; but what about these wardens? Is the NZTA throwing moneys at them, do they get commission, or are they doing it on the back of the rate payers for 'free'?

Wardens are council employees. So get paid the same way as any other council employee.

When they write a ticket there's a revenue split when the fine is paid. I suspect it's a different percentage depending on the offence i.e. WoF tickets versus parking meter tickets. A certain percentage goes to council, the rest going to the consolidated fund.

If a warden writes 10 tickets per day he'll get paid the same as if he wrote 20 per day.

Remarkably, I have noticed a trend. People with current WoF displayed as it should be tend to not get WoF tickets from parking wardens.

Spooky.

Yea I wasn't meaning the individual (tho I have heard rumors about "bonus schemes" for tickets (parking side)) I was talking the company behind them
So it is a kickback scheme which would explain why they go so far out of the way to find infringements, cause really a parking warden has no place in an industrial area with plenty of parking & no pay & displays/time limits on parking, yet here they come.

Sigmund Freud identified a number of self defence mechanisms when considering identity.

One such is deflection. When accused of something, simply blame the person accusing you. It makes you feel as if it's not your fault.

This happens frequently with tickets. For example, people get seatbelt tickets because the snakes are revenue collecting scum, who have a quota to fill.

When in fact, people get seatbelt tickets because they weren't wearing their seatbelt.

It suits us to bag parking wardens, it makes us feel better about parking tickets.

Just a reflection.

shire-ly a parking warden should only be checking the metal lump isnt taking up the parking space for longer than stated time on the sign as set by council as voted in by "peers"

how can they impose any other fine other than the lump taking up designated space type infringements? super unqualified I would have thought?

just reading this: https://at.govt.nz/driving-parking/p...-officers-job/

they can check your tires and stuff too... wonder what qualifies them for the job?
