Life is grand!
I understand and agree with most of these. But the fines are pretty high.
No Connecting to Someone Else’s Wi-Fi. Fine up to $10,000
I’m wondering if this is enforced or is a tack-on to when someone is caught using someone else’s wifi to run scams or other illegal activity.
No Drinking After 10.30pm. Fine up to $1,000
This is my biggest objection. That’s like when all the good drinking happens.
Flush the Toilet. Fine up to $1,000.
Lol. What? This has to be for public toilets. The fine is pretty ridiculous.
