The good thing about Scotland is the relevant section of the Protection of Freedoms Act, 2012 doesn't apply in Scotland per se, in that the registered keeper of a vehicle has no obligation to name the person who parked the vehicle anywhere in Scotland controlled by these private companies. In England and Wales YOUR corrupt politicians gave private parking companies more power than the Police in this regard as they cannot require a keeper to name the driver for a parking offence. Someone parked my car (I was in Spain at the time - could even have been a rung plate )in a park and fell foul of Parking Eye. They started with a penalty notice, then another increasing the penalty, then more, then some bent English solicitor wrote me threatening court action, I'd never get credit again, I'd have to pay thousands in court fees. What a clown. They've given up on me now after some 2 years of harassment. I know someone may come on and highlight the Dundee case where a woman had to pay over £20000 in charges, but that was different as the parking patrols on a gated community saw her parking every day and a) got to know her and b) she admitted it. They are not allowed to photograph you personally, only the vrm of your vehicle. I'm not suggesting for a moment that anyone should flout the rules, just giving you some information in case you overstay somewhere by mistake.
