Just wondering what the traffic wardens policies are on harassment of the public, in hindsight.
As I was picking up my partner's son last Sunday, and I discovered there was a football match (had no idea as don't follow football at all - F1 all the way) and there's no indication otherwise. So, a traffic warden strolls over and says you're not allowed to park here, because of the football match. Fair enough, so I park and get a ticket. Kids thing over runs and I go to rescue my car, and the same warden was standing over my car waiting. So I jump in and drive off and park in a different street (as you're not allowed to park in the same street consecutively). Over runs still, and have the same scenerio with the same traffic warden and I escape. Paid for 25 mins each time, and got a little fitter running to my car - whilst the traffic warden had a scooter!!
Now, if the police pull you over 3 or more times in a week, you can file a harassment case at them (as I understand it). Where does this lie with traffic wardens - can the same traffic warden target your car 3 or more times in the same day? Can this be seen as harassment in the eyes of the law? Just curious really.
