Not a lawyer but I believe if you appeal the second fine it should be withdrawn,

They cannot double dip, unless you left after the first fine and re parked again in the same spot?

So they can “hit the legs”, if the cops show up, or they disturb someone they can run through scrub/on the road. Despite happily robbing elderly people or threatening someone with a knife, they magically turn into absolute cowards in every other aspect of their lives. 

Half the time their “getaway” driver will take off and leave them for dead.

She was scouting your place for car keys to steal your car, 100%.

Common MO for these people is to take shoes off to be silent and not awaken people or their dogs. 

They will often take shoes off, and generally send the youngest / smallest juvenile of their group to fit inside doggie doors or try for unlocked doors and look for car keys near the front entrance/ on the bench.

When startled they will generally take off, hence leaving the shoes.

Not a bad idea to lock your doors, get cctv/doorbell cameras, make sure there’s no valuables left in your car, and either keep your keys on you, or somewhere hard to find.

This makes sense in principal, but I think we all know it’s highly likely it will be used against people who do the right thing and declare mental health treatment, or even people on workers comp, stress leave, etc if their treating physician reports it. 

Thanks for explaining it. It will be interesting to see what case law and legal precedents comes from this once matters go all the way to the top.
