UHHHH about $600 + in this post quick Inc send the fine

I hope Kevin Rudd will be prepared to pay out of his own pockets!

G'day Folks

Oddly enough these laws were around and enforced in the 50'sand 60's in Qld, and particularly in the "Joh" era, they also had a quant police squad up here known as the "Bodgie Squad" similar to NSW's 21st division living in Qld in those years was interesting including the drinking age of 21, many a time I and friends have driven back from Tweed Heads (drinking age in NSW=18) totally blind, in vehicles with 6volt electrics and mechanical brakes (cable/rod)



It was illegal to swear,be drunk and or disorderly in public, and it still is illegal to drink alcohol in a public place, this is used regularly near hotels after closing time


cheers

in normal circumstances public nuisance offences can only be dealt with by the Courts, except where cash bail is undertaken, and rarely do public nuisance offenders hit the watchhouse these days....but thats another debarcle

so I think on the spot fines is a step forward. Frees up Police to carry out other duties instead of being tied up processing idiots in watchhouses, keeps watchhouses for serious offenders not to mention freeing the Courts up.

bring it on I reckon, I hate walking down the street with my 5 year old daughter and hearing those potty mouths screeching the f word every second word they utter from their gobs.

theres a time and a place for swearing, I have been known to let them fly myself, but never in a public place at the top of my lungs for all to hear

just my 2c worth

As much as I like the idea of this, it smacks a little of tightening the noose on democracy...
