A man dressed as a shark has been fined under new anti-burqa laws in Austria. A PR agency has admitted the incident was a stunt designed to make a "socially relevant" point.
Police had confronted a man on Friday after he was seen promoting a new outlet of the McShark electronics store in Vienna in a costume that covered his face. When he refused to remove his shark head, he was given a fine of €150 ($176).
[...] Regional daily Österreich reported the officers acted after a call from an unidentified member of the public. Police had suspected the report came from someone who wished to prove a point about the new laws.

Where are the anonymous members when we need them?
Where are the ninjas?
Where are the tactical balaclava wearing SWAT teams? Oh, that's right, this law wouldn't apply to allowing law enforcement to become anonymous, would it?
