IPC Director mouthing off on LinkedIn

I see IPC's director is currently campaigning for the ability to
charge higher penalties, and take a harder line against 'repeat
offenders'.

I wonder if anyone would like to call him out on the conduct of
his members...?

His points are valid, ideally these changes would be made along
with proper regulation of the industry. That may or may not
result in a lot fewer IPC members.

He makes references to what "data" shows, but makes no
references to the sources of this data.
According to him, "over 35% of parking charges are issued to
repeat offenders". As no source is provided, we have to take him
at his word, giving due consideration to the trustworthiness of
the IPC and its members of course ::) - without access to the
data behind this stat, it's impossible to deduce much from it.
How many of these "repeat offenders" are actually people who
have received multiple unfair charges from the same operator,
caused by the shoddy practice of said operator, rather than
"non-compliance" on the part of the motorist? Look at all the
residential cases, where people end up receiving multiple
tickets for parking on land that is demised to them in their
leases, for example.
The private parking 'industry' demonstrated they couldn't be
trusted with the power to clamp cars, and had that power
removed. They have now had since 2012 to prove they can be
trusted to manage parking on private land by other means, and
have in my view failed to do so. Bring in proper regulation, and
reduce the level of charges unless and until there's evidence
that the regulation is working and that unethical and
unreasonable practices have been significantly reduced by said
regulation. Allowing them to issue even larger charges would be
rewarding them for years of malpractice.

I had the great displeasure to meet Will Hurley once - after
Beavis, the BPA held a "parking summit", with numerous
stakeholders attending. There was a consensus from all present
(apart from Mr Hurley and his partner in crime) that the parking
industry needed to raise its game, be transparent and
accountable. The dissenting comment was "be careful what you
wish for".
If I had to sum up my opinion of Mr Hurley in a single sentence,
it would be "If he ever shook my hand, I would count my fingers
afterwards".
