Ca: ParkPlus may not be just irritating, it may also be violating privacy laws

… Now we hear ParkPlus, the city’s spiffy and expensive pay-for-parking system, could face a legal challenge over whether it violates privacy laws.

You see, an undisclosed client recently hired Miller Thomson, a well-respected national law firm, expert in matters of business, to look over ParkPlus and its practice of snapping photos of all parked vehicles whether or not the owners have broken the law.

The legal opinion, obtained by the Sun, holds the Park Plus system is “not compliant with privacy legislation in Alberta.”
