ANPR Camera Evidence Unreliable

ANPR cameras can misread number plates, have timing errors, or capture vehicles that never actually parked. Challenge the reliability of the evidence.

Legal basis

Civil Procedure Rules regarding evidence; burden of proof on claimant to prove their case on balance of probabilities.

How to identify this in your case

Request full ANPR evidence including calibration records, entry/exit images, timestamps. Look for inconsistencies or poor image quality.

Sample appeal wording

I dispute the reliability of the ANPR evidence. Please provide: (1) Entry and exit photographs clearly showing my VRM; (2) ANPR camera calibration certificates for the date in question; (3) System maintenance logs; (4) Evidence the camera system was functioning correctly. ANPR systems are known to produce false readings due to dirt, lighting conditions, or similar number plates. I do not accept the accuracy of this evidence without proper verification.

Replace [PARKING DATE], [NtK DATE] etc. with your own dates before sending.
