The BBC news website is reporting a story of an Ayershire Businessman who was apparently sitting in his stationary car with the handbrake on and was fined for blowing his nose. He was stopped by no less than 4 policeman and given a £60 fixed penalty fine for not being in control of his vehicle. Needless to say he's taking this to court and will plead not guilty. Let's hope sanity applies here and the Police jobsworths are laughed out of court.
UPDATE: Common sense has prevailed. Looks like the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service has decided that no further action is required and the case has been dropped. The BBC has a full report about this case. But how much time and money has gone into resolving this? Perhaps it should be docked from the charging Policeman's pay...
