Anyway - somewhere in here was the discussion of some bloke flogged $5000 for drinking coffee without filtering it through his mask...

If they'd hit the club the other day they'd have made a fortune - all those old codgers sucking down a beer or a wine... not one of the filtering it through their mask!! Some didn't wear masks at all!!

Why the misleading Title to this Thread?

How is it misleading? He was fined for drinking a coffee and offending those officers egos, look at the video before you comment .

I have looked. He was arrested and fined for not wearing a mask, and it seems he was not even carrying one. Methinks he also set this up deliberately to draw the crabs.

He was actually drinking coffee, the video shows that. Whether this was a set up or not is irrelevant.

I saw him holding what looked like a coffee cup. I did not see him drinking from it. At what time point in the video can I see him doing that.

This is getting into stupid semantics, what interval between sips of his coffee is acceptable do you think to show he is drinking a coffee? if he got pulled over a for a breath test and he had an open bottle of booze in his hand do you think the coppers would maintain he wasnt drinking it? Get a grip.

It had the usual lid on it which you can drink through. There is nothing in the video showing him drinking the thing, just holding it. There is nothing in the video to suggest he had a mask to lift and put back between sips.

That's a very weak argument. Embarrassed

The cops would have mentioned it if it was true.
You just made a story up out of thin air.

Actually, you did.

He wasn't fined $5K for drinking coffee.

And, the convicted wife-basher doesn't have good lawyers - if he did, how come he ended up being convicted for bashing his ex-wife? You still haven't explained.
