In the areas covered by councils which carry out "decriminalised" parking enforcement (a blatant anti-motorist measure, as it was fairer when the police did it, since the aim was to keep traffic moving rather than make money), the following things true. To me, this represents a conflict of interests, and the motorist suffers. Will the trolls agree that this conflict of interests is unfair, or will they confirm that they like life to be difficult for the motorist by refusing to do so?

- Councils impose parking restrictions as they please, whether they are justified or not (e.g. yellow lines, residents' bays, etc).

- Councils make money from enforcing these restrictions.

Outrageous.
