Court report story in my local paper :
Firstly address of the couple involved is a very well off area locally , most houses in this road are 1 million + so they must be fairly well off .
Anyway, apparently the mother had died a while ago & she had a disabled parking permit which ran out in 2011. This couple had been using it & had changed expiry from 2011 to
2014 . easy to turn an 11 into a 14 I suppose
A traffic warden had noticed this was being used by the wife & was not legal so issued a £60 parking ticket . Nothing else...was not reported or anything ,just a standard parking ticket & issue is done with .
Not this bloke
He drafted a letter to contest the parking fine & made his wife sign it ( Her words in court ) & duly sent it off
Of course the permit had expired last year & so this was now in fact a full scale fraud case as they had records of the permits offical user passing away .
Outcome was that the wife was almost sent to prison but judge said he had never had a case like it & as his guidelines did not cover this particular crime she ended up with a hefty fine.
Reading it I cannot believe some people can be so stupid
