[News] These £60 fines for breaching CV19 instructions

Bry Nylon · Apr 11, 2020

Utterly pointless.

I’d like to see a minimum of £5000 for a first offence, with the power to seize goods if they can’t pay. No excuse for house parties and back garden bbqs. It’s not ****ing difficult to understand what’s required. And just to be clear, it would be £5k for the ‘host’ and £5k for everyone present who doesn’t live at that address.

Eeyore · Apr 11, 2020

It depends. A house party is a conscious and deliberate attempt to break the lockdown. There may be an argument there. Someone sitting in a park at a safe distance and posing no threat to health is in no way worthy of such a punishment.

That is why the police are talking of a sensible approach. I'm fine with what they are doing. It's less about the law and more about the actual risk someone is presenting. We don't want to go down the totalitarian route.

Bry Nylon · Apr 11, 2020

Well, of course the police have the power of discretion and can ask people to move on. That wouldn’t change. But how is a sixty quid fine a disincentive to the idiots who want to hold a house party?

Nice idea but what about the older teen brats who flouting the rules, without cash or other assets. They don’t respect anyone or anything.

I would give them community service for six months - digging the graves of the dead.

Up to €2500 or 6 months in the clink here, but it has to go to court - there is an advantage to having a lower fixed penalty with limited appeal procedures for some cases.

Courts have prioritised locking up people coughing/spitting/biting(!) front line workers with people generally getting 8-12 week prison terms within days of it happening.

Deserves every second of it

Whatever they do, as long as I get the chance to point my finger at them highlighting how well I have stayed within incubation rules and what a respectable hero I am for this community in times like this, then bring them on I say.

Same way as soccer hooliganism

Print their names and pictures around town and in the press. Can’t beat a bit of ridicule.

Only if they are pitch-forked into the last one they dig.

Spitting’s become the covid19 weapon of choice for the scum of society.

The police faced that quite a bit anyway.

When this is all done and dusted, with public heath in the spotlight, spitting at emergency workers should be a mandatory custodial sentence, no ifs or buts.

$1600 here on the spot fine, for each offender.

Zebedee · Apr 11, 2020

How thick must they be to behave in such a way in a time of national and international crisis?

Poland's fines are a lot steeper than the Irish

€600 here in Spain. BTW we have had proper lockdown. None of this allowed out for an hours exercise, stay at home. You can walk your dog around the block, that's it.
A friend of mine ventured a little too far with his dog and was sent back home. As he said, "you don't argue with a man with a gun!"
Figures in Spain are going down. Hallelujah!

Our lock down is pathetic I witnessed groups Lycra clad cyclists out in groups of four or more in the last couple of days, these wankers think the law doesn’t apply to them. Do some policing work plod it’s easy to move on a singular sunbather in a park who’s enjoying a bit of sun for a couple of hours.

what a **** of a thing.......there is footage emerging of a load of black americans on a jetstar flight......one man is asked to turn his device off ...he refuses he is then told he will be removed from the plane ....he threatens the female flight attendant then spits in her face , she slaps him he then knocks her out.......it's all pretty disgusting and all the repetitive shit coming from the American people ...looks like a group of 8 or so on board......just goes to show that even though we are "apparently" facing the greatest peril to the human racer the last 100 years that there are still plenty of absolute fukwhitts out there who really don't give a shit about anyone but themselves,
