That’s exactly what it is, an extortion racket. Kingdom keep a certain percentage of any fines issued for themselves. They also have a bonus scheme whereby their officers earn more money if they issue a certain amount of fines each day. This is another reason why they only pick on soft targets, because they know that they are more likely to hand over their details, thus allowing them to issue a fine which in turn keeps them in a job.
They are not allowed to issue tickets on private land, that is why the management at Eagles Meadow has banned them from operating on their land. They only try and fine easy targets,such as elderly people or lone women who have accidentally dropped a receipt from their pockets, but they won’t dare approach lads standing outside the pubs on High Street deliberately throwing litter. They are a private security firm and you ARE NOT OBLIGED to give them your details.
If Kingdom approach you to issue a fine then firstly, politely tell no and walk away.
Secondly, try to walk into a shop or onto private land, as they are not allowed to follow you onto private land to try to issue FPN notices.
Thirdly, do not be afraid of their threats to call the police for refusing to give your details as the police WILL NOT attend. This is because it is a civil matter and the only role the police would have if they were to attend would
be to prevent breach of the peace. Seeing as the police won’t even come out to investigate burglary these days, they certainly won’t be interested in attending to prevent breach of the peace over an accidentally dropped bit of litter. Also, even if the police did attend, they can not pass your details over to Kingdom Security, as this would be a breach of data protection.All they seem to do in town is to stand around trying to look menacing whilst waiting to pounce on elderly people who accidentally drop a tissue whilst taking their purses from their pockets or 14 year old school kids outside McDonald’s as they know that most other people won’t co operate with them, as they are a private company with no legal powers, unlike the police or council wardens
I worked as a cleaner on Eagles Meadow for 6 months, finishing earlier this year. The shopping centre is cleaned by a contract company called Andron FM. The toilets are cleaned on an hourly basis and there will always be at least one member of staff out sweeping the plaza at any one time, on busy days there will be two or three staff members on litter patrol.
Hello, I have been unemployed for 6 months and I normally use Indeed.com or fish4jobs when searching for vacancies.I have previously applied to Rowan Foods via Indeed.com, but I heard nothing back. I am currently looking for Monday to Friday daytime work and I have previous experience of cleaning and production work. Please feel free to inbox me at [email protected]
