A Question to people in UK!

I don’t think anyone ever actually paid a fine did they? Anyone who challenged them certainly didn’t as they were never legal.

To be honest I don't know anybody who got or paid a fine so can't say for sure but
Sending out police to harras citizens with fines that aren't legal that would defo be a sign of insanity so quite possible these days( not to mention a massive waste Of public money

I don’t think any got through I think they all got kicked out of court tbh

Still lost time of having to go to court and such
A bit like a fixed penalty fine even you weren't in the wrong it's cheaper to pay the fine than go to court and loose a days wages and potentially not get the fine.

Do you remember that case where the copper went into somebody's private garden and started telling the people from the house that they are not allowed to be there?

Mind you that was Yorkshire :) ( I've lived there quite a while and it doesn't surprise me, in my twenties I discovered time travel I moved from London north and went back by about 50 years!

I never got a fine either and I mean I won’t put anything public lol but I basically thought I would rather risk £200 that I probably won’t even ever have to pay than have no life for two years. I mean here they fined people for sitting down with a take out drink hahhaha

They had to generate the money for furlough somehow :)

I just feel like the whole world has gone batshit crazy and not in the fun way at all.

How's life u still here?
