Identical twins beat parking rap
Paaju and Rizks take note ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Swiss officials say they are powerless to act against identical twins who have run-up hundreds of parking tickets and blamed each other for the offences.
They say they cannot punish Harold and Michael Lengen, 38, for parking offences committed while driving around Winterthur.
Police say that in the last year alone the twins have collected 29 parking tickets on a car which they both share.
But every time they refuse to pay them and tell courts that the other was driving.
And police say that as they are identical twins it is impossible to rely on visual evidence to prove who was driving the car when they got the ticket.
A police spokesman said: "It is immensely frustrating for our officers. Every time we hand one of them out a ticket we know what is going to happen next and that they will never pay it.
"But there really is nothing we can do."
Pikey.. forget about Baldrick are you really Irish?

HE WHO DARES WINS
Clever sods to get away with the parking tickets. The last time I got a camera flashed in the Uk I wrote to the authorities and told them that it was me Ex who was driving me car without my permission. I got away with it.

I think you have me confused with someone who gives a sh1t.
Baldrick is not English.. He's lived outside of England too long to be considered English any longer..
I am sure that the Parking ticket is issued against the name on the Car registration document. So who's ever name is on the Registration document should get the fine..
But must give it to these swiss kids, they do have a point, even a Pikey like me would never think of that..
baldrick, I thought being an english man you will get it straight away
Ah, didn't notice your sarcastic face on the previous post!
baldrick .... I was being sarcastic on my previous post !
Novi - where will it end? If one of them murders someone, will they both get off free? I doubt it!
whoever it is.. they should have pay.. let them share. !!
You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving!!
they should shoot one and have the other pay.
Well, as owners of the vehicle they should be obligated to pay if no one admits to being the offender, and they can not prove that it was not themselves. Remove the vehicle or put both in jail for outstanding fines.
Or as an interesting experiment, decide that only 1 of them will take the responsibility of all fines and payment or punishment of them. I think as soon as responsibility of the fines is allocated and punishment is looming over one of them, they will pay.
b2dogs, is not wussy police. It is call respecting human right ... not forcing them to pay the ticket if they dont want to.
lol brite.....
its not me..:( ...... ITs Pajju...I Swear ...:(
No man is above the law. Force them to share the fines as they share the car. Better yet, impound the car till they pay up. Wussy police!
lol talk about double trouble.. :P
