Hardly the crime of the century to solve. In the picture - you can clearly see the bank account details Cross-reference that with IRD or a if necessary a warrant order for BNZ Police pay them a visit and case-closed

Agree Walbuck. It is probably too simple and obvious. Probably contravenes the Privacy Act. Could shut them down pretty quickly though.

If people didn't overpark, made sure they has a warrant and their vehicle was registered, these tickets would not be a problem. It is only when you have done something wrong, that the ruse would work.

@peanuts9 - Confusion with what we may have done "wrong" may influence people to just pay.
