$200 fine for buzzing the Waiheke ferry. Exceeding 5 knts within 50 m.

I'm sorry but $200 is a joke. Most fisho's would spent that or more on petrol, bait, lures and beer for a day on the water

Makes the enforcement angle look very very weak indeed...

But on the bright side it only took from September to February to secure this conviction.

Heavy-handed AND super-quick enforcement!  Not.

Yes, considering this was all over social media at the time, I'm not sure why a speeding ticket took 6 months to issue...

A man facing charges after a boat-rage incident in a Coromandel Harbour remains on strict bail conditions for another month with his next appearance expected to result in a resolution. Arguing for a dismissal of the two charges relating to the vessel, he argued that Dixon had already “done his time” having been on “five weeks and five days” of strict bail conditions since this last appearance in March.

Meanwhile former deputy principal of Tairua School Catherine Browning, 52, was granted dismissal. Under the diversion scheme if the offender completes agreed conditions the charge is withdrawn and a conviction will not be recorded.

She has since resigned from her senior role at the school.
