That’s right folks, an Infringment Notice served against me for crossing the street.

If you’ve ever been in Brisbane and wondered about how against-the-law it is to cross the street when the red man is lit up… well wonder no more. It costs you $30 and a 5-10 minute chat with one of Queensland’s finest public servants.

I chose not to point out that it was raining quite heavily and there was no shelter on the sidewalk. I’m sure the officer could see that. And I decided against outlining why I consider myself capable of picking an appropriate moment to cross a road. Clearly the State’s lawmakers don’t feel that the people of Queensland can be trusted to make these kinds decisions. So I thanked the Officer for his time and walked away to continue dealing with the important things in life.
