A Sydney man passed a gas station on his way to work on Friday, according to Channel 7. He got out of the car quickly to buy meat pies and was fined A $112 for not locking the car.
Sydney resident Jade (Ben Judd) was reported to have passed a BP gas station in (Woollahra), Woollahua, on his way to work in the eastern part of the city on Friday morning. He stopped for breakfast at the gas station store for no more than two minutes. But when he came out of the shop, he found a policeman standing by his car.
Jade said he took both a breath test and a random drug test, and the results showed that there was no problem. But the officer seemed determined to do everything possible to punish him.
Eventually, the officer fined him A $112 for failing to close / lock the car window.
"fines are the best source of income," says Mr Jade.
And netizens are shocked, and think this fine is "absolutely joking".
"I'm angry with you and I can't believe they fined you for that," said one user who supported Jade.
Some netizens said: "A bunch of nonsense." It is your responsibility to lock the car or not. "
According to the new state law, if the driver is more than 3 meters away from the vehicle, the driver must turn off the fire and remove the key to ensure that the windows and vehicles are locked.
