How long before these yobs stop being frightened of this new initiaive, and start using the fines to light their spliffs?
If you dont pay you get a criminal conviction and a larger fine. If you do within 28 days you dont get a conviction. Tickets have been given out since November but now they are for under 16's as well [parents have to pay]. It has been getting tighter for over 2 years now so no its nothing to do with the election as its Lancs Constabulary doing it. I understand one individual was told if he came back he's get another ticket making that £160 for a nights yobery. I cant speak for Ossy. Maybe they will follow suit?
