Fines are out of control

In Queensland Australia a woman was find over $1000 for having a phone tucked in her bra while driving. She was photographed by a seatbelt and phone detection camera. Im just making aware what lengths governments in Australia are going to so as to take your cash.

I learned about some of the crazy police officers Australia has from videos I saw during the Covid lockdowns.

@ProfessorPlum77 That was exposed as online mythology. We didn't have crazy police officers. I remember someone posting that on here and I googled the photo and it was faked.
Here's a more recent case of this kind of bs exposed - this is a photo from BRAZIL! And they've captioned it as in Australia.

I'm really tired of this kind of crap online.

@Abstraction I think I remember seeing videos of some incidents. In the videos the people were speaking English.

@ProfessorPlum77 This was a recent one in the last few months as a recent. Sorry I was talking about the fake pictures of police in riot gear and guns that were circulating on facebook during COVID.
Yes, there were anti-lockdown rallies where police and demonstrators clashed. I don't doubt there were instances where police stepped over the line - and many of these demonstrators were idiots - attacking a police horse for instance. I live in Victoria where a lot of the fake media about african gangs and police brutality has been hyped up.
