Last week we posted a story where Spanish police used a new law to fine a man anywhere from €100 to €600 for calling them 'slackers' on Facebook, this week we find out they've fined a woman some €800 for posting a picture to Facebook of one of their cop cars parked in a handicap spot. The Guardian reports: A Spanish woman has been fined €800 (£570) under the country’s controversial new gagging law for posting a photograph of a police car parked illegally in a disabled bay.The police claim they were responding to an emergency and the woman "impugned their honor" by claiming otherwise. “We would have preferred a different solution but they have the legal right to impose the fine,” police spokesman Fernando Portillo told local media. Yes, no doubt they would have preferred not to shake her down for making them look bad, they just had to, because, you know, they have the "legal right" and all. This law is every cop in the world's wet dream. |
