No, it hasn't been "fined". The owner's been handed a Fixed Penalty Notice. That's not a "fine". He's free to tell them to get fucked, and invite the CPS to prosecute it.
Sadly, he is bang to "rights" on it, by the wording of the messed up legislation in place, so I don't fancy his chances.
We really have to get out of this mindset where we accept that Dredd can issue fines that we're obliged to pay though.
Well done for resisting closure mate, it is not in vein. The more people that are as brave as you, the quicker this bollocks will be over.
