£200 fine for taking exercise, Shame on Derbyshire Police

Shame on Derbyshire Police. This joke of a police force has just made headlines after they felt it was necessary to fine two women £200 each for the heinous crime of going for a walk in a local park. The clowns also accused the pair of going for a picnic, the reason? They had two peppermint teas in their possession. Is this really what it has come to? The police fining people for taking LEGAL exercise. Clearly there’s no crime in Derbyshire since the police supposedly have loads of time on their hands. Not to mention during the first lockdown they saw fit to pour black dye into a reservoir near Buxton to discourage visitors!

Obviously Derbyshire Police could care less about actual crimes going on in the local area. Burglaries, murders, paedophiles, rapists; that’s all irrelevant because that would require the lazy Derbyshire Constabulary to actually do some real police work. No, it’s far easier to hand out a few fines and pour dye into a local reservoir.

Maybe these clowns should go and actually do their jobs and catch some real criminals rather than targeting members of the public just trying to go about their day. For the record, there’s no legislation whatsoever that says people can’t travel for exercise. The way the police have behaved during this pandemic is nothing short of disgusting and despicable. Just yesterday, a video surfaced of Met Police manhandling a 92 year old man. I found the video sickening to watch. Unfortunately, I feel we are only going to see more incidents like this in the future. It’s truly a sad day for humanity.
