What do you call someone who whines on internet forums and requests people "keep it to yourself"? Sensitive Pansie is probably a good start. |

I'd fight it till the end. Even if you did it, it's still total crap that someone can just dob you in and you're guilty. Y

Why would you fight something you are guilty of?? Makes no sense, is it because you are unable to face the consequences of your actions??
Would be good to hear from the OP to see what the outcome was/is, or what is happening with it.

Search on this topic, and you find people going to silly lengths to demonstrate their innocence, like multiple witness statements, affidavit from doctors saying the person was a non-smoker, etc. |

Every fine I have ever gotten I paid without hesitation as I was guilty of what ever it was, I fought one in court because I actually did not do it. And ended up getting off after stating my case. So if you did it just cop it, if you did not do it fight it, pretty simple stuff really.

I actually feel dash cam evidence should be necessary. And hey, I wish there were an organisation to report drivers in the right lane on freeways who refuse to move. I'd have reported at least 4 this morning with video evidence. |

Yeah ... followed the same group of cars from North Ryde M2 ... and finally just after the start of the M7 over the rise past the 2nd Windsor Rd Exit ... Police Pulled to the left lane ... sat back a little ... and then pulled back in behind ... disco lights.
Everyone was doing the limit (even in the roadworks Zone through M2 as well).

I've reported someone for throwing a glowing butt from their car. It was in the height of summer, hot windy day, driving through tinder dry hilly forest on the outskirts of Melbourne. I can't understand why people actually do that. There needs to be some system in place to heavily discourage that behaviour - how else could it be done effectively?

Better yet, just ban smoking outright. It provides no net benefit to society, just a huge cost burden. |

I was taking the p1$$ when I said to ban smoking in cars. Banning smoking would result in a massive hit to the govco bottom line, something they won't want to happen. Not only that, prohibition will just drive it underground and turn it into the runt version of marijuana.

It's already banned if kids are in the car as it should be. Wonder if it's ever actually enforced.

The price of smokes has risen which has made a lot of people stop, some people still keep smoking but now it is a minority. The cost to provide smoke related sickness healthcare to smokers was proven to cost the government more per person than they were making on the smoke tax. So by raising the price of smokes it has reduced the number of smokers, which reduces the cost to smoke related health issues. The small minority that still smoke pay the ridiculous prices which still gives them the tax money they were making before but doesn't cost as much for healthcare as it is a reduced number of smokers. They also found that the majority of smokers are in the lower class (welfare) of society, so it's costing them a lot with that for healthcare as they are not insured with private health. Hopefully that all makes sense On a side note, I am in the Army and 10 years ago everyone but me in my section of 9 smoked and in my platoon of 30 there was only 4 of us that didn't smoke. Now in a platoon of 30 you would be lucky to find 3 or 4 smokers. Society has slowly started to stop smoking as they realise the health effects it has. |

Awful lot of things to do with road rules these days completely throw the old "innocent until proven guilty" premise.
It's now up to you to try and prove your innocence, and they make it as hard as possible for you to even attempt this. How can some do-gooder numpty on a phone app cause you to get an official fine??? |

Since governments only seem to look short term, thats a big cut to take, losing cigarette tax income but still paying for the negative health effects for 10 years. |

Hey, as someone else mentioned, even if guilty you should make it as hard as possible for them to catch you. |
