It's the first time i've heard of any fines being imposed, hopefully because there aren't many people breaking the law. Has anyone else heard of any being levied?
I didn't realise that the fines would be so much, I could have sworn that it was going to be £60, reduced to £30 if paid within 28(?) days. I could have got this wrong though. Perhaps she also resisted arrest or something too?

She was arrested, not given an on the spot fine.
