They can’t turn up to hate crimes so gang let’s go looking for minuscule crimes that people can be tripped up on. I wouldn’t even cause it civil disobedience as it’s not a crime that’s even educated on.

They were council enforcement rather than police. I suspect if she appealed she would have been let off, but some folk think then they’ll have to pay the full amount because they missed the early payment discount window, which I don’t think is the case.
