I was digging through my photos from Adelaide and found more angry warning signs. So continuing on from my Adelaide complaint thread a few weeks ago:
Being at a train station without intending to board a train is a $1,250 expiration notice, just like not buying your bike a ticket (their version of Myki is on the train, so the station isn't a ticketed area)
Standing too close to the driver door is a $750 expiration notice
Walking through carriages while the train is moving isn't just politely discouraged, it's also a $750 expiration notice
Notably though, they seem to have replaced all the cops with ambulance drivers and Wilton security lol. Only saw 1 cop car there, but about 100 Wilson security and about 1000 ambulances (that must be where all ours vanished to)
Don't forget about the mandatory $99 Victims of Crime surcharge on all penalties they have over there. So it's $1349.
The penalty for failing to vote in SA is $10, but with $99 in victim surcharge fees.
Yoooo that's wild
