at what age can children be fined fixed penelties?

Question

litter

Answer 1

Fixed penalty tickest are a violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and are therefore - unlawful.

Article 10. 'Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an indepenant and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him.

Fixed penalty tickets make the issuer, prosecutor, judge and jury, and were designed to deter the subject of one, from defending themselves in court, by the use of intimidation.

The threat of an even bigger fine if he is found guilty, and magistrates side with the police in 80% of all cases making a conviction almost a certainty.

Odd isn't it, how our Attorney General insists on perverting the course of Justice?

Answer 2

16

Answer 3

The age is 10 for a PND from a police officer or 16 from a council worker.
If offered a PND they can quite legally decline to accept it, and instead request a court hearing.
A PND will NEVER be issued to an under 16 without the full consent of the parents...who'll be paying it anywa ;)

It all depends which force are issuing the ticket. It can be from 16 years of age but might be 17 or 18
