If they got a £200 fine for this, what did the real virus spreaders get for gathering outside that hospital the other day and these morons having parties.

Re: Have Derbyshire police lost the plot?
This is very local to me, one "problem" for them although it is only 5 miles they have gone from a Leicestershire postcode to a Derbyshire one, still in my opinion very harsh. There is a picture of at least three police vehicles and 4 or 5 employees at the main entrance to Calke in the local press, and one person who lives 5 miles away got fined there yesterday. They are supposed to have stopped and chatted to the officers, who then when they offered to drive home slapped them with a fine. Howcome if your car or house is being broken into and you phone the police they are undermanned and can't send anyone?
So did I break the law yesterday? I travelled into work from an LE postcode to a DE one, with the wife and one of the dogs. The job I do we can't WFH, but instead of travelling home together me and the dog walked the 8.5 miles home across the "local" footpaths. So should I turn myself in and pay the fine?

Re: Have Derbyshire police lost the plot?
Total guess, but if the police attended in advance, then it's probably a spot which attracted crowds of visitors, local and otherwise, during previous lockdowns.

Re: Have Derbyshire police lost the plot?
I understand the problem with a 'honeypot' area where loads of people go for their exercise, the forest of Dean has been absolutely rammed, every car park jam packed with cars, and that's just the walkers. The number of mountain bikers had been extraordinary.
But for these two who it appear were broadly within the rules, is pretty heavy handed.

Personally, I think party organisers and those responsible for organising gatherings should get 10 years not 10k, but the money comes in handy.

I drive 8.5 miles to get my exercise (kitesurfing), hope the Old Bill don't try and stop me ...

So driving into the fells to go sledging tomorrow is out of the question?
The same pretty empty fells I've been driving through on my way to and from work with 90 other people from all over the north of England and all using the same ladders on site.

Re: Have Derbyshire police lost the plot?
Why is going through Leicestershire a problem ? All country is in lockdown so as I understand it Tier boundaries don’t apply , so the only requirement is essential travel or travel in order to exercise ..neilf wrote: ↑Fri Jan 08, 2021 6:20 pm This is very local to me, one "problem" for them although it is only 5 miles they have gone from a Leicestershire postcode to a Derbyshire one, still in my opinion very harsh.

A half decent solicitor should be able to drive a horse and carriage through this case ..

As long as they stay 'local'?

Hope the brief hasn't got covid - they need to be able to smell something off.
