Outrage as police hit a woman with $243 on-the-spot fine for bizarre case of ‘littering’ while on her way to a birthday party with friends – so can YOU spot the crime?
‘A Queensland woman was fined more than $200 for an offence she did not realise she had made.
The woman aged in her 40s was fined for littering after she adjusted her make-up in a street in Fortitude Valley with a group of friends while they were on their way to a friend’s birthday party at about 8.30pm.
While she was touching up her make-up, the tip of her red lipstick broke off and fell onto the pavement.
Two Brisbane City Council officers and a police officer followed the group and hit the woman with a hefty $243 littering fine, Courier Mail reports.
The council officer reportedly told the woman that she had known that she had dropped the lipstick, while the police officer checked her identity because she wasn’t carrying her driver’s licence.’
