Just for my own peace of mind i took the liberty of recording this
conversation today. I did not tell them i was recording it.

I don't believe taped conversations are admissable in court.
Transcripts MAY
be.

Photos certainly are admissable.

Please do not say "certainly!". I was charged with parking my car
"half-on" a smashed-up kerb next to a high fence enclosing major
building works so thereby I was impeding the passage of foot passengers.
I pleaded that not only was the old pavement kerb out of use and broken
up, but I presented photographs which showed three people walking
abreast through the wide gap between car and fence, thereby clearly
showing that there was plenty of room to march an Army through the gap.
Their ruling was that since photographs can be manipulated they are not
acceptable in Courts of Law.
Those bar stewards found me guilty and fined me 40 quid.
Doug.
