City Parking dropped an update about their Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras after people freaked out online, and the company clarified that the tech just logs cars sitting without payment instead of actually handing out tickets. The system works like a digital parking attendant that records vehicles, but human Assistant Inspectors handle all the actual enforcement stuff like fines and wheel clamps.
Drivers get 15 minutes after getting logged to pay up before anyone can even think about clamping them, and anyone with valid tickets gets another 30-minute buffer past expiration. The company called out motorists who mess with their license plates to dodge detection, saying that behavior breaks national rules and they're looping in authorities to crack down on it.
