Yeah, I read that OP when you first posted it. I sympathise with you; I had a similar problem with the lady next door to me - but I didn’t get a fine in the end.

I agree that that law is ridiculous. But I don’t think that that means that all nuisance legislation is unreasonable. But I agree that some of them certainly are.
