To help, or react, someone will no doubt break another law somehow.
Yep, and then they can impose yet another fine.
There's a fine for pretty much any petty misdemeanour nowadays from dropping crumbs for pigeons to leaving your wheely bin out on the wrong day.
It's all about extracting the maximum amount of cash from the public and reminding us who is boss.

The one that always bothers me is the £80 fine for dropping a cigarette butt, but feel free to light as many fireworks as you like, littering wherever they land, with no worries about any penalty charge at all?
Add to that, is it such a great idea to sell high explosives to the general public?
I think not, especially these days.
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
