Jobsworthy? Target driven? You can't video me?

If anyone is going to video me wearing a bodycam then they can expect me to do the same.

Is it ok for a traffic warden to try to push your phone out of your hand?

I don't know who is worse, the warden or the caveman who thinks the cabbie has assaulted the warden and then shows threatening behaviour towards the cabbie.

'You're not allowed to film me'

Who the hell does she think she is? Jumped up little jobsworth. I think traffic wardens forget they are just glorified tax collectors for the council. They aren't a peacekeeping force or secret service agents.

The incident was reported on BBC North West regional news where it showed some of the video recording and interviewed the cabbie afterwards. It seems that the council didn't like the adverse publicity, apologised to the cabbie and dropped the case.

And will the "warden" be educated?

According to the comments on the article, the warden resigned. I expect she was encouraged to by the employer.

That's probably an issue with the performance management scheme the parking co saddle their staff with than the staff themselves.

Target driven rather than common sense and threatened with the sack if "underperforming". being sacked means no benefits, no benefits mean no home etc etc.
