Default Big Brother slaps a ticket on you

I don't drive but this is going to upset the drivers here in the UK.

Parking fines via CCTV to force drivers to obey


The sight of a parking attendant sticking a ticket on your windscreen makes the heart sink. But from the end of next month even a ticketless car will not mean you have escaped.
Under an overhaul of parking regulations set out by the Government, a new era of “remote enforcement” will become commonplace. From March 31 councils across England will be allowed to use CCTV cameras to detect parking offences.
Drivers will not know that they have been caught until a letter arrives up to 14 days later, by which time they may be unable to gather evidence to defend themselves.

More revenue raising by the Government hits the motorist.
