Clampers

[BenShermin]

I don’t see the word fighting! I see the words “working against”!

[Fagan_ODowd]

Just after a scrape there with a clamper. Private clamper in an area renowned for vigorous clamping. Encountered the gentleman first to report that one of the machines wasn’t working. He waved me in the direction of another a couple of hundred yards away. That wasn’t working either. Doubled back to a third machine where this gentleman was also looking at the machine. That wasn’t working either. You’d think you’d have the machines working seeing as how you’re so quick to clamp I said. He muttered something like You’re talking out your hole. Excuse me I said. No response. Did you say something I said. You’re talking out your hole. Smile I said I’ll take a photo of you. Things escalated quite quickly from there. He was going to make a citizens arrest if I didn’t hand over the phone. He rang the guards to report that I was threatening him and following him. Even though I couldn’t get away from the gentleman. In the end he took a photo of me and left me go on my way. I went for a coffee and when I got out I could see in the distance your man had called in another van to deal with the civil disobedience. I hadn’t actually taken a photo of him much to my amusement.

NCPS?

Sounds like you were needlessly harassing a man just trying to go about his business.

Why didn’t you grab the back of his head and smash it off the machine he was working on?

I believe in peaceful protest.

I have issues with people who abuse that authority.

There is a clamp war ongoing around Hatch St where builders have cut clamps off cars without any retaliation to date.

[Bandage]

Recent clamping war also with builders working on the developments around GCD parking down a little lane by the canal.

[caoimhaoin]

Are they a private company doing the clamping?

[Bandage]

These double posts are infuriating.

[Bandage]

Think so.

@Bandage

@caoimhaoin

The article mentions NCPS who are a private company. They do the clamping for Dublin City Council. They’re an absolute shower of cunts too.

A little known fact, Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council operate a strict ‘No Clamping’ policy in any of the car parks they own or operate in their jurisdiction. A 40 euro fine is the penalty.

[TheUlteriorMotive]

This reminds me we need a “well clamped” rating now more than ever.

[myboyblue]

I threw a crutch at an NCPS van once. True story.

[TheUlteriorMotive]

You didn’t have a leg to stand on.

[caoimhaoin]

Is it on private property or council property the car is parked?
