I may have been a bit harsh on our Police. There seems to have been just the one incident, the Willawong dump, where an over zealous officer did a mass fining. The official policy is as follows.
"Where police see people doing the wrong thing, they have a conversation with them and if they are trying to do the right thing and they are not understanding what's required of them we give them the opportunity to comply and then if they do the wrong thing, then we take action."He said police had set up a process for fines to be reviewed, after a number of people were penalised for using the Willawong dump over the weekend, despite the facility being open and accepting rubbish.
