Woman is handcuffed by police and fined £100 ‘for feeding pigeons’ in London

This is the moment a woman was placed in handcuffs by police and fined £100 for feeding some pigeons in London.

Video footage captured by a passerby showed a woman being detained by a group of officers and council enforcement workers in Harrow on Wednesday, in the latest example of jobsworth council officials slapping the public with petty fines.

A piece of paper later handed to the woman showed she had been stopped for being in breach of a Public Spaces Protection Order which covers town and district centres in Harrow.


Congrats to the videographer this is epic!

No surprise in a country that arrests people for praying silently.

An arbitrator has ordered the reinstatement of an Ontario postman fired for hoarding at least 6,000 pieces of mail during the summer of 2022 because Canada Post wasn’t aware of his post-traumatic stress disorder.

Hyun Min Jang was terminated from his job as a rural and suburban mail carrier in King City, Ont., “for misdirection and delay of mail, as a result of the discovery of thousands of pieces of undelivered mail in his personal vehicle,” according to a recent decision from Kathleen G. O’Neil, the arbitrator.

Lawsuit dismissed in case of Alberta boy injured in toy dinosaur ‘swatting match’

An Alberta judge has dismissed a lawsuit involving one child suing another after a disagreement over a toy dinosaur led to a finger injury.

In a decision released earlier this month, Justice Brian Hougestol said the lawsuit involving the boys in Grande Prairie, Alta., was “quite rare” and raised “numerous legal issues related to capacity.”

The boys were enrolled in a summer daycare program operated by a non-governmental organization in 2022, when they got into a fight over the toy the judge described as being “the size of a 500-ml bottle of water.”
