Another extremely frustrating case that demonstrates the inadequacies of ANPR."It's outrageous that I have to do this when it was clearly their mistake," And yet you have to do it because it's entirely apparent that ANPR DOESN'T FECKIN' WORK!

http://www.gloucestercitizen.co.uk/Motorist-Amantha-Squire-given-100-parking-fine/story-27899382-detail/story.htmlMotorist Amantha Squire given £100 parking fine in Gloucester - despite being in a different countyA motorist has been left furious after receiving a £100 car park fine in Gloucester when she wasn't even in the county at the time.
Amantha Squire, who works in Gloucester, has visited the Tesco store in St Oswalds Road several times after finishing work to buy a few things for dinner, staying no more than 30 minutes at a time.
Last month she received a penalty notice from the car park operators at the store claiming she had flouted the parking rules by staying almost 11 hours longer than the three-hour maximum.
The letter included pictures of Ms Squire's vehicle entering the car park at 6.01pm on Monday, July 6 and leaving it at 8.04am the following morning – a date when she claims she wasn't even in the county.
"I was actually at a work course in Warwickshire that week – having left my home in Bristol on that Monday – so there was no way my car could have been at Tesco let alone for 14 hours," said Ms Squire.
"There's clearly a glitch with the system but it could have been very problematic for me with my partner asking me why I was parked overnight in Gloucester when I had told him I was at a work course in a different county.
"It's absolutely appalling that this kind of mistake could have happened."
Ms Squire has had to go back to get evidence from her work and the hotel where she stayed that week in order to appeal the fine.
"It's outrageous that I have to do this when it was clearly their mistake," she added.
A Tesco spokesman said: "We apologise for the inconvenience that Ms Squire has experienced and we are investigating the matter."
