Coronavirus: Dozens fined for heading to the beach during lockdown

Police use number plate recognition technology to track people heading to the coast from out of town.

Dozens of day trippers have been fined for ignoring lockdown rules to head to the seaside and soak up the bank holiday sunshine.

Brighton was a particular hotspot, with Sussex Police issuing more than 50 fixed penalty notices (FPNs) to people from outside the county for breaching coronavirus travel restrictions.

Over the whole of the Easter weekend Sussex Police handed out more than 100 fines, including to a couple from St Albans, Hertfordshire, who made a 150-mile round trip for a stroll on the beach at Camber.

From the images I've seen in the last day or two, including those where individuals/groups are confrontational to law enforcement officers of all descriptions, there is clear evidence that the younger generation are the main culprits

Asda yesterday was awash with young families sauntering around the place like it was a Griswald Family Vacation and certainly not adhering to current guidance on numbers and/or spacing

Whilst the vast majority are adhering to the advice provided, there is an underbelly of society that (for some while now) has believed it is exceptional to any rules surrounding social behaviour...and sadly, it's not all their fault, as those who should have set the examples have clearly failed to do so

For so long they have been pretty much "untouchable' in word or deed, they genuinely believe they can do what they like

Fine them in the first instance and then put them before a Court, where their deliberate actions of putting the nation at risk could finally drive the message home when they are publicly decried

Partial Lockdown is not a nice situation for anyone but it is necessary right now...

STAY HOME, STAY SAFE!


Not sure why you felt the need to bring that up Sven when the debate was closed and those in it agreed that the 'culprits' seem to vary depending on where you live, something in the end we all agreed with.

Sad that you have felt the need to bring up 'generation blame' again when everyone else has let it go.
