Windy Austrian fined

An Austrian man has been fined £45 for breaking wind while he was being questioned by police officers.

Police in Graz said the laughter of passers-by humiliated them, giving them grounds to book Hansi Sporer, 20, under local anti police abuse laws.

“This was no accident. He clearly intended to make a laughing stock out of the officers and deserved what he got,” said one police source.

The Safety and Security Act allows police to issue instant fines to people who insult or attack them.
