ANPR Entry/Exit Time Manipulation
Some operators manipulate ANPR times to manufacture overstays. Request full photographic evidence with timestamps.
Legal basis
Civil evidence rules; burden of proof on claimant.
How to identify this in your case
Request all ANPR images with embedded timestamps. Compare with any independent evidence (parking payment, GPS).
Sample appeal wording
I challenge the ANPR evidence as unreliable. Please provide: 1. Entry photograph with embedded timestamp and EXIF metadata 2. Exit photograph with embedded timestamp and EXIF metadata 3. Calibration certificates for both cameras on the date in question 4. Evidence the system clock was accurate I have [SPECIFY: GPS records/payment receipt/witness] showing different times. The discrepancy suggests ANPR error. Without verified accurate timestamps, the alleged overstay is not proven.
Replace [PARKING DATE], [NtK DATE] etc. with your own dates before sending.
