Petition Forbid the use of CCTV by local councils for parking enforcement purposes

I am writing this as my local council is using a CCTV camera on a regular basis for the purpose of parking enforcement. The guidelines state this method should be used only "where other means of enforcement are not practical" - but nothing is more practical that a cheap and covert CCTV camera.

More details

Taken from section 1.13 of Surveillance Camera Code of Practice, June 2013, Home office:

"Motorists may regard enforcement by cameras as over-zealous and relevant authorities should use them sparingly. Such systems should , therefore, only be deployed where other means of enforcement are not practical and their effectiveness in achieving this purpose is subject to regular review."
