    Removing a private clamp is like liberating an oppressed people against an occupying force.

    History is written by the victors.
    Get away with it and ye will be high fiving each other in haydens.
    Get caught and ye'll be on p5 of the kildare champion as vandals caught in the act.

    But if they don't damage the clamp, where's the vandalism?

    I'm loving this thread, and I'm glad to see the clampers get an F You, but seriously....


    You're in a carpark beside Tescos (who have an ATM according to their website), behind Maxol (who AFAIK also have an ATM), and you come on with a story about not being able to get money/change without leaving your car unattended for 20 mins?

    Have the courage of your convictions, admit you were chancing it, and you're not paying it. Seriously...

    Read again, he was getting cash from the teller.
    I remember those student days, when i didnt have enough in the bank to use the atm:P

    (btw you're probably right, but i just dont care:D vigilante declampification FTW)

    I know its not an offence to remove the clamp without damaging it but it is a Civil offence to not pay the fine?
    Is that correct?

    NCPS have no legal power as a private company to fine anyone. So no offence civil or otherwise.

    Theres an interesting article on it in one of the Irish legal journals... can't remember the name/isue though, would you have read it yourself?

    The mod over on the law forum wrote it if I remember correctly

    As Our man in Havana said above, they have no right to fine you.

    It would be the same as me getting on you car while you go into a shop etc, and demanding €100+ for me to get off...

    Take your time, if you get back to your car and find somebody else has removed the clamp from your car, with no assistance from you, you're probably about as "in the clear" as you could possibly be!

    Haven't read it all, but the final, concluding paragraph says
    It appears, therefore, that there are legal difficulties in engaging in the practice of private clamping under Irish law, given that the defence of voluntary assumption of risk has been virtually abolished.

    What if kildare.17hmr unclamps the car, then reclamps it with his own lock and demands double the unclamping fee?

    This could get messy...
