Bexley have recently published on their web site a list of their Approved Devices.
They have published this because their VCA Certificate details and names
no Cameras or System Devices whatsoever! It simply certificates a 'Mobile Vehicle!' Quite apart from the fact that
all vehicles are mobile, a Mobile Vehicle is
not a Device under the terms of The Certification of Approved Devices (COAD).
Therefore it cannot receive any certification.http://www.bexley.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=13508This document states:
"The London Borough of Bexley confirms that the schedule of equipment as shown below contains equipment which complies with the approved device regulations and which have been given approval by the Secretary of State, (through his chosen vessel of assessment - the Vehicle Certification Agency [VCA]) for use as approved devices for enforcement of parking restrictions and regulations."The use of the word 'vessel' in this context brings to my mind words such as The Titanic!
Bexley's useless and worthless VCA Certificate:
http://www.bexley.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=10177&p=0Compare Bexley's 'certificate' with this one:
http://nutsville.com/download/VCA_wireless_cameras_approval_180210.pdfAlthough Westminster's certificate, unlike Bexley's, as it must do, correctly
details and names the camera and the system the camera named is not the camera they use. This alone resulted in several Appeals being allowed at PaTAS. Therefore as Bexley's certificate details nothing the same ought to apply.
Bexley continue with more absurd and preposterous 'information':
"The London Borough of Bexley is satisfied that it is fully compliant with the approved device regulations as shown by the approval confirmation provided by the VCA. This is further supported through a number of cases where the appeals raised at the Parking and Traffic Appeal Service (PaTAS) by motorists challenging Authorised Officer decisions have been unsuccessful."What exactly is 'supported' by this nonsensical statement? I am sorry Tina but 'Authorised Officer decisions' have
nothing whatsoever to do with Approved Device Certification as you well know.
