There is no provision in the bill for the police to "collect fines". I would think, they either have to bring you to court, possibly caution you, or just generally f**k you about. British and Irish law is different from Swedish law. In Sweden, the police can collect fines. Open to corruption, which is the reason it doesn't happen in any part of Ireland.

It was only a tongue in cheek reply .
TBH I couldn't give a shit about all this hysteria surrounding new laws.

We have on the spot fines in the UK already chick. You can be given an anti social fine, a fine for drinking in public, there are a few. I don't think you pay it there and then though, you go to the local station with the written notice. I would imagine you have a similar process here for speeding fines and so on.
We aren't Sweden, Norway. But if we are copying their legislation we might as well be.

Don't even think a fine can be paid in the police station, to prevent corruption, it has to be posted and handled by civil servants.
Point is, Morrow's Bill has no provision for paying an on-the-spot fine, if the police wish to do anything other than simply mess you about, and Morrow has already stated he will be pushing for prosecutions, then they have to take you to court. Bad news = end up in court.
(Less) good news = cannot brow-beat you into simply paying an on the spot fine, if it goes to court with legal representation, if it proves hard/impossble to prove they may back off. Of course if they do get a few successes it will encourage them.
Look, any sort of Court case would be a disaster first off. Guilty be association. Its the damage to loved one's that counts.
