[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 436214, member: 4485"] Being issued with the Prohibition Notice gives the Regulator fair scope to fully prosecute the offender under the law if he does it again. If caught again he'll be in a bit more strife than a $2500 fine I would imagine. The Penalty Notice was just a warning slap IMO. Regulators give these notices out to mostly companies & individuals all the time. It's how they aim to get compliance to legislation prior to harsher enforcement like prosecution. P.s I agree - I reckon the fine was too lean but then it doesn't mention if or what equipment they may have confiscated. Could have been a costly day if they took all his gear too? [/QUOTE]
