I don't think anyone is really moaning about enforcement, its the black and white enforcement that grates, with no care for the simple error or degree.

Running a wheel in to a bus lane to avoid an obstacle for a few yards would get the same fine as deliberately driving in the lane to get past traffic.

I have seen an OAP get a littering fine for a tissue falling out of his pocket. I saw him put the tissue in to his pocket, it just didn't go all the way in an popped out whilst he was walking along. The litter police got to him before I could. Does this compare to someone deliberately dropping fag buts, gum or take-away wrappings? In the past, he would have been informed and given the chance to correct his errors.

Re the car park queues, an attendant at a barrier would know the situation and probably raise the barrier with a time expired ticket. The camera and machine doesn't.

Two local school kids were fined recently for getting on the wrong train at a station. The times were messed up due to delays and they got on the first train to take them home as they usually do. The train they got on went up a different line and they got off at the first station to make their way back. They didn't leave the station and they crossed the bridge to get the first train back. They were caught by a ticket inspector and fined the penalty fare which I think was £15 each. Seems totally unreasonable seeing that it was an honest mistake.

Then there are systems deliberately designed to confuse like parking machines with complex instructions and difficult to enter registration numbers - some requiring the full number, some requiring the last 3 or first 4 digits, some not allowing an O to be transposed with a 0.

I was caught by a stupid system yesterday. Visiting a client, they had an unmanned lobby with a computer to enter visitor details. The system would not let you exit the lobby until the form was complete - save that it kept crashing as it couldn't find the person I was meeting as it wasn't their permanent place of work either. There was no drop down option for the names either so selecting a random one wouldn't work. Good thing for mobiles but time-wise - I was fined 10 minutes of my time unnecessarily.
