Is TOX back?
 

Just seen new TOX06 graffiti all over the approach to Kings Cross near the
new Eurostar works.
Is he back out and spraying already?

There's been TOX06 graffiti about for some months now. Certainly in
north-west London and I even saw some on (IIRC) the approaches to Leicester.
I guess that he's either out and at it again or someone has taken over his
tag with the aim of incriminating him. It would be spectacularly stupid if
it was the same guy, seeing as the police now know who he is (then again
.....).

We were on a Canal cruise in amsterdam last weekend and Tox tags were all
over the railway bridge to the east of Central station!

Much as one detests the low-life scum in question, I think it's been
apparent for quite some time that the "TOX" tag has developed a life of
its own, and it is highly unlikely that the convicted waste-of-space is
guilty of all its manifestations. In a way, it had become the "KILLROY
WAS HERE" of the 21st Century....

Its about time the sad loser grew up and stopped behaving like a 15
year old, since he must be 21/22 by now going by the 2004 report.

You'd think they'd be able to nail whoever is doing it in one of the 300
(apparently) times everyone is captured each day on CCTV. Or are the
cameras in all the wrong places?

No, it shows that CCTV isn't as good as everyone expects or believes.
We've got thousands of cameras, but has crime fallen (or not moved
crime to non-CCTV areas)? Are the streets safe? Are yobs no longer
roaming free and terrorising people? Wear a hood/mask or keep your head
down and there's not a lot a camera can do. It also needs someone to
watch it, analyse it and investigate after the event.

It's like speed cameras getting people for speeding, but ignoring those
who are drunk, uninsured, unlicenced, driving with fake/cloned plates
etc etc. Has the number of road deaths and accidents fallen massively
since the introduction of speed cameras? Not at all. It has raised a
lot of money though.

Get real police out patrolling, who could catch 'Tox' in the act, and
it might also send out the signal that you might actually stand a
chance of being caught. Considering the graffitti at Kings Cross is
getting worse on a weekly basis, someone is definitely active in the
area. I'm amazed it isn't being watched, although it is possible that
the plan is to simply remove it and secure the area once everything is
finished.

Or foreign ones. Surprise surprise theres a huge amount of polish
plates
around london now not to mention latvian and lithuanian and the drivers
of these cars can just happily ignore speed cameras, the congestion
charge
and anything else where traffic police have been replaced by cameras by
the bean counters. Also these plates are now being used by locals since
I saw some asians driving around in a (right hand drive) car with
polish
plates the other day.

He is known, and has done 3 months on remand before being fined when caught
last time.

Of course he was caught writing tox 03, he may not be the original or even
the new one.

Auto Express revealed a year or two ago about buying a car (this time
from France) and getting out of paying fines or the congestion charge.
In fact, they didn't even GET a ticket because no council would issue a
ticket on a foreign car. [Likewise, many foreign countries won't ticket
you either - but of course, they might still tow you or clamp you].

It used to be Dutch plates in north London, but now it's the plates you
mention (Polish particularly around Hatfield, although many of them ARE
at least driven by real Polish people). You can avoid insurance and
road tax too, so no wonder so many people are driving 'foreign' cars
(many RHD) and never registering them here.

The problem is the police aren't much more bothered than the
authorities. They don't want the hassle of stopping a foreigner, and
you can simply say you're over on holiday/borrowing the car with
permission. How will they know it's been here for 2 or 3 years (as a
few cars are that live very nearby)? Probably too much work, although
to be fair, I have read that they're going to be doing a few sting
operations to try and catch people - but how successful this might be
remains to be seen. One or two days out on a mini-roadblock isn't going
to have much of an impact.

Also these plates are now being used by locals since I saw some asians driving around in
a (right hand drive) car with polish plates the other day.

I'm sure you'll see a lot more when more people catch on about this
very easy scam. I guess we're not helping the situation by talking
about it here!

I thought that there were reciprocal arrangements in place to enable any EU
country to pursue fines and charges incurred by a vehicle registered in
another EU country. Possibly it's not yet in place for newer members like
Poland, but I'm sure it will happen. Certainly the French have no
hesitation in ticketing me in Paris! :-(

Three months?!? The verminous parasitic scumbag should be either shot on
sight or shoved in front of a speeding train for all the extensive damage he
has caused!

I've been told by our (Cambridge City) parking manager that such moves
are being honed. What we have also noticed is that no foreign plate
should ever have a residents' permit renewed because it should have got
a UK plate by then.

Did they pursue you for the money or did you just pay up anyway?

The first time, in 1994, the advice from the British embassy was that I
didn't have to pay unless I wanted to bring the same car to France another
time. Since it was a company car that I was due to change the following
year, I ignored the ticket and heard nothing more.

The other one was earlier this year, and I paid it, partly because it was
only £24.50 (compared to £50 in Kensington, for example).
