He walks because he drank, the police fine him anyway

He had drunk too much alcohol. So a young man decided to leave his car near the dance club where he had spent the evening and walked home. However, he did not avoid a fine of 102 euros for drunkenness by a patrol of carabinieri who stopped him while he was walking on the sidewalk between Cavi di Lavagna and Chiavari (Genoa).

When he was stopped at 2:30 along the Via Aurelia by a patrol of the radiomobile nucleus of the Sestri Levante company, the young man was hitchhiking. He had difficulty walking, his eyes were red and his speech was slurred, the military wrote in the report.

He was identified and after a summary check of his conditions they charged him with article 688 of the penal code which provides for a fine of 51 to 309 euros and reduced to 102 euros for anyone who is drunk in a public place. The only satisfaction for the slightly tipsy hitchhiker was not to sign the report and refuse to collect it.
