The above, a New Zealand Herald website heading which the subsequent story made nonsense of. Why on earth did the Herald run this silliness?
A bloke who’d over-imbibed, slept in his van and copped a $200 fine, not as the story says for not drink-driving, but specifically for freedom camping in a public carpark, which the Queenstown Council is understandably trying to stamp out and had signage specifically prohibiting.
His ludicrous argument which the Herald insulted readers by publishing, is the equivalent of saying he copped the fine for not murdering nuns or any number of possibilities open to him other than sleeping.
