[QUOTE]A motorist has told Sky News of his disbelief at being fined for blowing his nose while his vehicle was at a standstill. Skip related content
Michael Mancini had stopped his van in traffic and wiped his nose with a handkerchief.
When he moved off, he was pulled over by police who told him he had not been in control of his vehicle.
Mr Mancini, from Ayrshire, was handed a £60 fixed penalty and given three points on his driving licence.
He told Sky News: "I thought they were joking and that it was a wind-up.
"I was stopped in traffic and had the handbrake on and thought to myself, 'Ive just got time to blow my nose.'
"Then police pulled me over and I was booked. I genuinely thought they were joking, that it was a wind-up."
The incident occurred in October, but Mr Mancini has refused to pay the penalty.
His solicitor wrote to prosecutors earlier this month explaining the offence could not have occurred because Mr Mancini's handbrake was on.
But prosecutors replied the next day warning that if the fine wasn't paid, the case would be taken to court.
Mr Mancini added: "I intend taking this all the way to court. I still don't believe it actually happened."
A Strathclyde Police spokesman said: "A 39-year-old man is the subject of a report to the procurator fiscal in connection with an alleged traffic offence on October 26."[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=evilking1;19897290]Nosy police officers always smell something fishy.[/QUOTE]
Nice pun but it's kind of ironic, makes me think the police get bonuses for every extra so called "crime" they stop :/
'Snot everyday something like this happens.

Their bonus is that they get to keep their job. They have to meet retarded targets each year.

I hope this will blow over soon.
That's bullshit. Well, who nose, Maybe he won't have to pay it.
Wow, that's just dumb. Guess it takes one to Noes one eh Policeman?
...
:frown:
More support that cops have nothing to do but sit on their asses arresting/fining the wrong people for the wrong reasons.
I fail to see the point of them doing this
I bet they'll get away with it too, you can be a cop and beat the shit out of someone and only get suspended with pay for one month
Way to blow this out of proportion, dumb cop.

They should spend their time eating Doughnuts.
Time for the stupid cop to write a ticket + letters sent to offender + (expensive) time of the judge and lawyers > 60£.
The government will just lose money from this if the officer hadn't written a stupid ticket.
I'd just fight the ticket in court, no big deal he obviously wont have to pay this fine.
I guess the police was nosy.
I bet the cop knows he was blown away by the entire situation. Well, it's not my problem.
(3 Puns)
The driver was probably [B]snotty[/B] when the officer pulled him over.
What the fuck.
Now now, letsnot blow this out of proportion
