Driver fined for 'having a face like a moron'
A Romanian traffic cop has been demoted after he fined a driver for "having a face like a moron and being a big monkey".
Marius Vlasceanu pulled over Gheorghe Tosa as he drove through Craiova in Romania, local daily Jurnalul National reported.
But Tosa failed to see the funny side as Vlasceanu fined him £22 and handed him a ticket explaining the reason for the fine was "having a face like a moron and being a big monkey".
Head of the Romanian police Dan Fatuloiu said Vlasceanu, who claimed he had handed out the fine as a joke, had been demoted for "inappropriate behaviour and defaming the police force".
He has now been given a desk job in a remote village.
I can just see Ian H doing well with this, if it were introduced into Kendal!
It could be even more successful in Bowness on a Friday and Saturday night!
If I was on commision for the issue of such tickets, I could think of a lot of places more lucrative than Kendal or Bowness!
But it's one of the wonderful bonuses in our job, to watch the mishaps, fallouts, and generally less inhibited behaviour of our drunken revellers from a respectable distance.
I'm glad they don't hear what we say about them!
