    Could you not just stick it on the way Clampers stick on the "Do not attempt to move this vehicle" sign on the drivers window? Or is this a sue-able offence too? Hehe. Masking tape residue and all :rolleyes:
    This was 1998, and I am not sure nowadays. There was a case where a biker sued a LA over a warden placing a ticket on a bike, it was claimed that he knocked it over.

    Hence the position.

    That's as ****ed up as the unions not allowing the bus drivers to use the rear doors.

    once saw someone get a ticket in thier driveway....admitedly the boot of the car was blocking the path.

    IIRC, if a sticker that is placed on your car, for example, with the "Don't Park here again" message, leaves a trace on the window, it's criminal damage.

    They could of course have your charged with trespass.

    Unless the relevant act/SI allows a party to "inform" an offender by "appropriate means" or something vague like that

    (I've found that most laws are vague in this way and favour the govt/official side)

    I got a parking ticket in Dublin city centre in 1995 or 96, it was in a sticky envelope stuck onto the seat... :rolleyes: in spite of the fact that at the time there was not ONE legal parking space for motorcycles in the city. Shoulda fought that ticket really...

    The Dublin Airport cap is damaging the economy of Ireland as a whole, and must be scrapped forthwith.

    The law is so stupid really. They should really ammend it. Between a bit of sticker residue being criminal damage and someone robbing your house who cuts their hand on a knife can sue.. I just don't know anymore.

    Yes, maybe the Cops can, but if it's done by a private individual, such as a security gaurd in a shopping center, the law is for the car owner.
