Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews \nhas warned those filming themselves arguing with police at checkpoints will be \ntaken to court. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“They have now been found. I \ndo not believe they received an on-the-spot fine. That is the low-level fine,” \nhe said. “I think they will be charged on summons. That will be a matter for \nothers and I do not determine those matters but there is the on the spot $1652 \nfine and if you go through a court process it is much closer to $10,000 so it is \na pretty significant penalty.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
