PCN from CCTV Oxford Street

[Tezcatlipoca]

gonnagetthemback, some of your responses in this thread are unacceptable. The facts are quite simple; by your own admission you directly disobeyed a road sign and have now been caught for it.

 

People's responses to your situation have been both understandable and - in my opinion - admirable, but the fact you evidently don't want to face responsiblity for your own actions does not give you the right to behave like a petulant child.

It really doesn't matter whether you've been driving down Oxford Street for the last 5 years or the last 5 decades, it does not absolve you from accountability. When you chose to ignore the road sign, you accepted the consequences.

The same equally applies to the LA.

 

Indeed it does. Governing bodies, or those who represent them, must of course be as equally accountable to the law as private citizens.

 

 

There is nothing petulant about upholding this at all.

 

Absolutely. There is however, a great deal petulant about posts 10 and 17.

In them, gonnagetthemback behaves unacceptably in response to those who point out her initial error of ignoring the sign. This was not a simple error or lapse, this was - by her own admission - a calculated decision to ignore the law.

 

If the charge has been levied illegally then gonnagetthemback should have the right to appeal against it. What I - and it seems several others - find objectionable is both the attitude that it is acceptable to break the law, only to complain when faced with the consequences, and to condemn those who object to this behaviour simply because it is not what you want to hear.
