Spain axes fine over image of illegally-parked police car


Common sense prevails: A police car in Sweden. The Spanish woman fined

MADRID: Spanish officials have scrapped an €800 (RM3,835) fine against a woman for posting a picture on Facebook of an illegally-parked police car after admitting the image did not contravene a controversial security law. 

The offending picture, which was posted online last month, showed a police car parked in a disabled parking space in a town in the southeastern province of Alicante, accompanied by critical remarks using strong language.
