Derbyshire Police CANCEL £200 fine issued to walkers & apologise

Hallelujah! Common sense has finally prevailed at Derbyshire Police as they cancel the £200 fine issued to walkers Jessica Allen and Eliza Moore. Not only that but they also rightly received an apology. Although this is a good example of common sense prevailing, I wouldn’t get too used to it as I’m sure the police will continue to clutch at straws in order to issue unnecessary fines such as in this case. However as proven, with enough public backlash they will eventually back down and see reason.

This is actually great to see. I’m fairly sure in any case even if the police hadn’t cancelled the fine they most likely could have taken it to court and had it thrown out anyway, as it was ridiculous to be even imposed in the first place. Despite what people with a conformist attitude may think; travelling for exercise is NOT against the law and does not contravene the rules. Public 1 – 0 Derbyshire Police.
