Woman Fined for Facebook of Illegally Parked Police Car
According to The Guardian: [theguardian.com]
The unnamed woman, a resident of Petrer in Alicante, south-east Spain, posted the photo on her Facebook page with the comment “Park where you bloody well please and you won’t even be fined”.
The police tracked her down within 48 hours and fined her.
Apparently, this is allowed in Spain so that police can "avenge their dishonor".
This is exactly the sort of behavior that leads to public distrust of police.
I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a
week sometimes to make it up.
