Just a scam the town runs to pull in revenue.

Follow the money. Bet the official is paid out of the money he collects. Just like revenue agents in speed traps, posing as cops. Fines collected should not go in any way towards paying the fine collector.

If he gave up smoking, he could pay for the fine in about a month.

He should claim to be a muhammadan. The authorities will fall all over themselves to apologies!

An appropriately cynical remark; though the man seems to take some pride/comfort in being a man of some respectable standing.

Gad ~ the outcome of WWII appears to have been revised ~ Brittain was clearly beaten by the Nazis, then taken over and turned into a police state.
Wonder if the beer is any better.

If he gave up smoking, he could pay for the fine in about a month. If he gave up electricity, he could pay for the fine in about a week.

Absurd. These council officials are in need of a good tar-and-feathering to remind them who is the master.

If he gave up smoking, he could pay for the fine in about a month. Would you have the same attitude if say what was knocked out of his hand was a cup o' tea? Or is your attitude only because it was an eviiiiiiiiil cigarette?

here in the south we call that revenue enhancement. We’d call that cop a revenue man. and we’d kill him.

That was sarcasm..right?
I mean...you wouldn’t really be suggesting he give up his rights because he’s a smoker would you?
I didn’t think so...

He should sue those who violated his personal space causing him to loose his property. Then he should sue the official for depriving him of his property with out a trial.
