    For what reason did the Gardai give for wanting to arrest you?
    Also, what did you use to remove it?

    Criminal damage would be the usual stuff the cops would come up with.

    No trick, wheel off, bolt holding wishbone to hub removed and ball joint popes out. Chain slides off, ball joint put back in, bolt put back in and wheel put back on. Dont try it if your not handy with messin around with cars! Took 2 of us to get the joint out it was that tight

  • You could set up a declampimg business. If i was clamped, I would happily give the money to a charity or some one other than the clampers.

    Just thinking if this ever happens to others on here & the guards turn up is there a one liner you can come out with to (politely) tell them what you're doing is legit & you're not breaking any laws

    No there is no one liner. When the guards stopped with the bulling of I'll arrest ye he calmed down and we got to speaking about it. After about 2 mins of us explaining it's private car park and no damage so nothing criminal he had enough and 2 of them left laughing.

    Pics to follow soon. I need a nice cup of tea! Bear in mind when I got there I had no before picture as the lads were already on it.

    Something like this is what I would say.

    Guard, [Company] have applied a clamp to immobilise my vehicle. The want XXX amount of money to remove it. I have decided to remove the clamp myself, without causing damage, and have full intention on returning to to its rightful owner. I believe I am well within my rights.

    Edit: You could also go on to talk about Section 9 CJ (PO) Act 1994. And the possibility of extortion since they are demanding money from you...

    Looking forward to pics :D

    Hey OP sorry to hear you got clamped in a way. Why were you going into the bank had you no card or were all the ATM's faulty (unlikely) What time was it.

    I believe if a person in parked in a spot where they have to pay then some fine has to be paid (with some reason time to get change if you need to 5-10 mins).

    I think if a car is obstructing then you should not clamp at the car is still there I am for towing. I think the government (though they have other pressing matter) need to get the laws straight.

    Towing would probably be considered theft, since you are physically removing the vehicle...

    There's also a section (113 I think) in the RTA that states it is an offence to interfere with a mechanically propelled vehicle in a public place without lawful reason or something along those lines.

    I would imagine that this covers clamping by a private company.

    Have a nice chocolate bikkie as well, you deserve it.

    Clampers must have know they were wrong or they would be complaining to the guards about criminal damage etc, Did the guards take any names?

    Not if its in legislation seems to happen in other countries.

Look at all those f..ks walking around checking if ticket is displayed .... and U left urs for 20min ??? I bet it was clamped 1min after U walked away :)

    Yes, you are correct but I didn't mention that as that section was amended in 1984 (original act was 1961) to remove "in a public place".

    Hey all you Naas dwellers, for future reference the multi-story in town (accross the road from where the OP parked) gives you 20mins free parking!

    Have done it 4 times to go to the BOI up the road & have always been back in time.
