Submitted by JWT.Sellick – Deadline to sign up by: 17 April 2007 – Signatures: 1,545
In some Tesco supermarket car-parks, all cars are photographed as they enter, and again when they leave. The date & time at which each photograph is taken is recorded, and if the car has exceeded the free parking allowance, Tesco's computer sends a file of registration numbers to the DVLA. The DVLA computer adds the name & address related to each registration, and sends the file back. Tesco then post a bill to the person who has over-stayed. I understand that the DVLA needs to know who owns a car, but this information is private, and should not be used for commercial purposes.
