""Derbyshire Police to review COVID fines given out during new lockdown Derbyshire Police has said all fixed penalty notices issued to people breaking the rules during the third national lockdown will be reviewed after it received clarification about the coronavirus regulations. It comes after the force being branded "bonkers" after two women arriving for a walk at a remote spot around five miles from their homes were handed £200 fines for alleged breaches of lockdown laws. One of the would-be walkers, Jessica Allen, told the BBC that officers also informed her that a hot drink she had brought with her was not allowed as it was "classed as a picnic". The force had said the women could have taken exercise closer to their home addresses, and described their actions as "clearly not in the spirit of the national effort" to reduce travel and the possible spread of coronavirus. In a statement on Friday, Derbyshire Police said it had received further guidance the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) which had clarified that the "COVID regulations which officers enforce and which enables them to issue FPNs (fixed penalty notices) for breaches, do not restrict the distance travelled for exercise". The force said: "All fixed penalty notices during this relevant period that have been issued will be reviewed for compliance. "All recipients will be contacted." The Original Story is here: Worth a read. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-55560814" So the people who argued that the 2 were completely in the wrong yesterday and suggested that they may have 'gobbed off'... | |||

I attended a serious crash involving two vehicles that were working essentially last night The Leicestershire police were excellent I'd suggest much more risk of essential people crashing than leasure And let's really face it Traveling and walking on the covid risk scale is about 1 out of 100 Staying home and popping to grandma is 99 out of 100 Proportion has left us Control the virus How Stop visiting homes Costa is pretty Covid secure very low risk However I shall be taking my own flask on my walk today Until we become brutally honest about the greatest risk conduit and focus and stop petty blunt shut everything and hope tactics we will yoyo in and out until, well until either the virus runs out of steam or forever | |||

Either do nothing such as in a town local to me (Whitstable) which even today will have car parks full of DfL’s and others from well outside the area and no police presence or they hit all and everybody with a fucking great stick, like two people metres apart having a slurp of coffee. My friend who is a teacher had contact with 150 different pupils in a day (i know schools are now closed) and yet was not allowed to meet me for a socially distanced chat and a cup of coffee | |||

"The very fact that people on here can't agree what local means shows you the issues the police face... They didn't write the laws, they are just charged with enforcing them. Local and necessary is subjective to each individual, therefore when an officer chooses to enforce a law based on their subjective opinion it won't always align with your perception... and people then say use some common sense. Well again that's a subjective matter, and after reading some of the comments on here it's clear our view on common sense is considerably different to others. It's a weak law written to try and avoid upsetting people. Maybe people should take responsibility for their own actions, and if they feel aggrieved go through the proper channels to challenge it instead of crying to the main stream media while concocting tales of hardship and mental health struggles to justify their actions to gain favour. This entire lockdown has been a joke from the start, mainly because as a nation we want the result but we can't stomach giving up our Starbucks lattes or our weekend house parties.. and the moment someone tells us we can't do something we cry about it being like nazi germany and a police state... Why are other countries like Australia, New Zeland, China enjoying parties and nights out.. because they locked down, gave up freedoms for a period of time and have controlled this.. We were to bothered about when we can get 50,000 people back into a football stadium and if we can have 20 people around for a party at Christmas.. Rant over.. " Good post. Just so annoying that 10 months in, certain peiple still can't see that their actions have consequences. I'm happy to give up my freedoms for a few more weeks, if it saves a nurse or a doctor, another agonising lobg shift dealing with serious illness and death. | |||

The longer people keep ignoring the basics the longer this is going to continue with lockdowns, tier restrictions, etc. Buckle up, button it and deal with it for a couple of months and then we might get a bit more freedom for those that have the luxury to travel to greener pastures | |||

It is almost like rebelling like little children I saw someone post on another site today that lives in Australia and she said we just accepted we had to shut entire towns , no one in, no one out to control the virus and it really does seem to be working for them, all we get over here is people complaining about it. It is no wonder we are not getting anywhere like Australia with the attitudes to it | |||

The Law has been changed, you are restricted, whether you like it or not, you are NOT FREE to do as you want, you are being told what to do. The Choice is yours, to obey and help reduce this or face the consequences. You must stay at home. There are few exceptions and these should be kept to a minimum. The Police State needs to continue to control idiots. If you only knew what some of us face everyday (workwise) and what we have to wear for bloody long periods and are totally broken you might understand. It is not Party politics it is life and in many cases Death. | |||

"It doesnt say if he drove to the park then cycled, or cycled from home" it seems that they are alluding to the olympic park being outside his local area and that the parks close to his home have far fewer people in them. | |||

"Hasn’t it come to light that this was a PR exercise by the anti lockdown brigade? The lady was arrested for refusing to give her details, which the police have always been entitled to do. Originally I did think it was rather heavy handed of the police and I certainly don’t think they always get it right. I was chatting to a Met policeman and he was trying to get me to meet up with him during lockdown for instance. However if this was done as an attempt to alter people’s perception of lockdown then I am beyond disgusted! I personally think Dominic Cummings has a lot to answer for too." The article didn't say she had been arrested did it? | |||

"I think there should be a defined limit on travel so if you are caught more than 50 miles from home without a good excuse you get a fine " I'd love to see the data that correlates distance traveled to cov sars infection rates ?? Heres an anecdote 1 day ago I walk into the nation forrest from my home I walked 2 hrs. a guess I saw 60 people Nearest encounter 4 metres Month ago I drive 10 miles to foremark also the national forest I walked 5 hrs I guess i saw 20 people Nearest encounter 10 metres Average distance 100+ m 6 months ago Cumbria I walked 8 hrs Saw approx 8 people Nearest encounter 10 metres Average distance 200 m+ I have a self contained camper The virus has clear fixed rules i follow those rules and control the virus Humans guess and hope and change their rules Simple horrid fact Travel 1 10 100 miles and social distance you control the virus Be part of a bubble care for mum nonchalantly go shopping have kids you spread the virus Sorry | |||

The issue I guess is that we now have 10 months of evidence that we can't be trusted to use common sense and keep our distance. So we have layer upon layer of regs to try and account for the ones who can't or wont follow the simple principles. | |||

"It's sad that the police were already in wait at the remote carpark. It's not against the law to drive then walk. Easy money isnt it , bit like sitting in wait for speeding motorists doing 32mph in a 30mph zone . Should be out dealing with real crime there is plenty going on . Not a Police hater btw they just seem to have their priorities all wrong in my opinion" No, If they wanted to do that they could just set up ANPR cameras by all beauty spots on a sat/sun & send fines to every car passing that’s more than five miles from its registered address. If you were at work etc. Provide proof & fines cancelled. S | |||

" OK being candid ill level I do actually 100 percent understand the background behind the "restrict travel" mantra We absolutely know that Its meeting and contact which are the virus conduits however policing or enforcement is nigh on impossible The travel restrictions are an attempt at a proxy ,A vague attempt at equivalence which can be monitored But its a poor one full of holes and injustice It absolutely does not catch the main spreaders and in a vain clumsy attempt to do so it removes liberties that in absolutely no way contribute to perpetuating the virus I go further.i suggest that those suggesting travel is a major vector it is a distraction from the simple fundamentals that seriously do contribute to spread and death I absolutely understand why the simplistic blunt tool is advocated as a solution however in reality it subverts the actions we must all intimately understand and follow for years to come | |||

But obviously that is a ridiculous idea but not doing so will absolutely mean regardless of any other measures it will spread Nasty little shit sars it does not much care for the human need for food or caring for their kids or parents we need to do that and that is why you won't stop it | |||
