Bodycam records violent tirade on Queensland parking inspector

A driver has been caught unleashing a physical and verbal attack on a parking inspector in Toowoomba.

The incident was captured on the parking inspector's body camera with the angry driver filmed as he unleashed a tirade of profanity.

"You f---ing touch my car you a---hole," the man is filmed saying.

"I have the authority and I am more than what you are to touch the car," the parking inspector replies.

"That's my f---ing car you wanker, I own the f---ing thing so don't tell me you're qualified to touch my f---ing car," the angry car owner responded.

The confrontation then escalated with the parking inspector shoved.

A growing number of Queensland councils have turned to bodycams to provide evidence in court, to protect inspectors and to defuse potentially ugly incidents.

"I think we all recognise that being a parking attendant is not an easy job," Toowoomba Mayor Paul Antonio said.

The cameras are supplied by Australian Defence Systems. Director Karl Baumgartner told 9NEWS they are designed to send a message to potential attackers.

"It has a forward facing screen which shows the public that they're being filmed as they approach," he said.
