I was recently issued with a number of infringement notices under Criminal Law, i.e. urinating in the vicinity of licensed premises, failure to state name in the vicinity of licensed premises, obstruction of police in the vicinity of licensed premises.
It all occurred at a bus stop more than 500m away from the licensed premises and after it had closed. I see NSW/VIC state vicinity to be 50m from the boundary, but can't find a QLD definition. The 'vicinity of licensed premises' increases the fine, and I'm mostly upset because I wasn't urinating in the first place, hence the 'obstruction' of police, I now have $1500 in fines, for what should be a $125, (if I were actually pissing).
Can anybody help?
