GETTING into the festive spirit, the police have launched the “Hot Nights, Cool Choices” campaign, they say, to promote safe attitudes and behaviours, particularly around alcohol, partying and personal safety.
The campaign will run until February and will be targetting teenagers and young adults (18-35), and remind the community there are consequences for poor behaviour. Here are some of them:
- Urinating in a public place – $200 fine
- Riding an e-scooter without a helmet – $154 fine
- Supply liquor to an intoxicated person – $110 fine
- Abuse, threaten or intimidate staff – $220 fine
- Fail to leave premises when directed – $440 fine
- Consume alcohol in unauthorised public places – $110 fine
- Remaining within 50m of licences premises after being removed or refused admission – $440 fine
- Fighting, assaults, affray – face court
- Riding an e-scooter while under the influence – face court
