Vienna police have fined a man 500 euros ($565) for loudly breaking wind in front of police - a move the force was quick to defend on Tuesday.
The Austrian capital’s police force said there was much more to the incident than first meets the eye, after the accused complained of what he called an “disproportionate and unjustified fine” on June 5.
In reply to social media commentary that followed, Vienna police revealed the man was fined for "offending public decency".
"Of course no-one will be reported for accidentally 'letting one go' once," they wrote on Twitter.
The force added that the man had behaved "provocatively and uncooperatively" during an encounter with officers that preceded the incident.
He “slightly raised himself from the bench, looked at the officers and patently, in a completely deliberate way, emitted a massive flatulence in their immediate proximity”, they said.
The suspect then found at great financial expense that the police did not “like to be farted at so much”.
The MonoRacer 130E Fully Enclosed Motorcycle Aims to Redefine Personal Mobility Elena Gorgan The idea of making something that would be halfway between a bicycle or motorcycle and a car is not new; after all, the advantages of such a vehicle would be many for a large segment of the market. In the Czech Republic, inventor, fabricator and full-time pilot Arnold Wagner has been making one such vehicle since the late ‘80s. Since 2009, with a new partner, he launched the PERAVES CZ company, and they’ve been putting out these cabin-motorcycles dubbed MonoRacer since then. They probably haven’t sold more than a couple of hundred of them (90 of which were made before the 2009 partnership), but that could change as early as this month. As it turns out, PERAVES CZ has made an electric version of the MonoRacer, called the MonoRacer 130E, and it is now in the process of receiving EU-certification. The MonoRacer 130E is an electric motorcycle with a fully enclosed cabi...
I would like to ask any of my Canadian friends what they think of Trudeau's response to the impending tariffs imposed on Canada by Trump. I mean, I hope most Canadians would be MORE outraged than to simply suggest......... to forgo Florida orange juice and Kentucky bourbon He said: “It might mean checking the labels at the supermarket and picking Canadian made products. It might mean opting for Canadian rye over Kentucky bourbon , or forgoing Florida orange juice altogether. “It might mean changing your summer vacation plans to stay here in Canada and explore the many national and provincial parks, historical sites and tourist destinations our great country has to offer.” https://www.newsbreak.com/the-independent-517119/3787648131075-trudeau-tells-canadians-to-forgo-florida-orange-juice-and-kentucky-bourbon-after-trump-s-aggressive-tariff Is this a joke?
