Cop, who forgot life jacket, fines himself
No one is above the law in Norway, it would seem, after a policeman fined himself for failing to wear a life jacket.
Officer Arne Stavnes was pictured in the pages of the Verdens Gang newspaper at the helm of his police boat during a patrol of Utoya island. The photo prompted several witty comments from readers who noted that the skipper was flouting the law by not wearing his police-issue lifesaver.
The honest policeman moved to stay one step ahead of the criticism and published a photo of his self-issued 500 Norwegian kroner penalty.
