'Meanwhile data also released today shows that Surrey Police has issued 346 of the 8,877 Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs) recorded by forces in England up to 27 April for breaches of government public health regulations.
Examples from last weekend where 13 FPNs were issued in Surrey include:
An FPN was issued to a person who had travelled from North Kent to Caterham to take photographs of their cars, with four friends not observing social distancing as they did so.
Four people from different households out in a vehicle at night in the Epsom area having driven there from Beckenham, with conflicting accounts as to why they were there between them.
An individual initially stopped for speeding in the Dorking area having travelled from West London, stated they were delivering food to their mother before admitting their mother was deceased and they were in fact in the process of preparing a second home for their family.
Government public health regulations introduced on 27 March 2020 to prevent the spread of coronavirus enable officers to issue individuals with £60 fines if they failed to comply after officers have engaged with them, explained the risks to public health and encouraged voluntary compliance.'
Watch out. There's a plod about! It's a police state.
