The tenacity with which the majority of enforcements is carried out is like Shylock’s pursuit of his debt.
I'll have my bond; speak not against my bond.
I have sworn an oath that I will have my bond.
Representing or appealing it directly to the local authority is met with the same vigour and mostly intransigent to persuasion or mitigation..
There is no power in the tongue of man
To alter me. I stay here on my bond.
However, when revenue driven enforcements is over-zealous and righteous, prominent characteristics of the times, one can find many instances where the enforcer breaks other laws in pursuit of their target. As in the fact that enforcement does not confer the right upon the enforcer to breach the boundaries of the custom in abusing the citizen where he too has rights that are to be protected.Thus:
Tarry a little; there is something else.
This bond doth give thee here no jot of blood:
A PCN must not be enforced if invalid. Those qualifying conditions, for the present example do not allow for it to be either issued by a warden improperly attired, or issued in any other manner than affixing it to the screen or giving it to the driver. It must also be legible, with specific details deposed.
To pursue the revenue where invalid; KNOWINGLY, which is a predominant aspect in the majority of cases, is such an abuse as to punish the offender while consciously allowing one’s offences own to grow:
Twice treble shame on Angelo,
To weed my vice and let his grow!
The essential abuse here relies on the cloak of ‘suppressio veri’ (suppression of the truth) and the often misconceived notion that size or title has an intimate correlation with conferring on the possessor the stamp of authority in argument, as in:
How might she tongue me! Yet reason dares her no;
For my authority bears a so credent bulk
That no particular scandal once can touch
But it confounds the breather.
Shame is a function of discovery, where discovery is absent shame is little or non-existent, and the converse.
Discovery, shows the offender the nature of his offence
to hold, as 'twere, the mirror up to nature; to show Virtue her own feature, scorn her own image, and the very age and body of the time his form and pressure.
Crime does not pay? It does when pursued in this manner, with the sanctification of pretending to uphold one law, while breaking others. £6 million worth of penalties in London alone,cannot be all legitimate, in my own very infrequent experience, the irregularities sum up to approximately half. In those cases making the offence unrewarding is the only curb the law allows at present.
Financial penalties may be seen as draining the life blood of the individual without showing the bruises.
For it appears by manifest proceeding
That indirectly, and directly too,
Thou hast contrived against the very life ..Of the defendant;
and thou hast incurr'd,,, The danger formerly by me rehears'd.
Thou diest, and all thy goods are confiscate.
Thou shalt have nothing but the forfeiture
To be so taken at thy peril,
