People who queued for two hours after driving 20 miles to get milk from a farm's vending machine have been fined for breaching lockdown rules.
“All of Wales remains under level four "stay at home" lockdown rules, with people only allowed to travel for essential reasons, which include buying food.
Welsh Government guidance on the rules say there are "no limits on how far" people can travel to shop for essential items,…”
I haven't fully digested the Welsh legislation but from the above passage it seems, once again, police are issuing fixed penalties when no law has been broken.

NJ,
They don’t want you to go shopping everyday to relieve your boredom.
But that is what is happening.
Rather than avoiding contact, people are shopping when they don’t need to, just for the social contact.
Old people, bereaved people, single people, lonely people, or just sociable people are taking shopping as an excuse to go out and meet people - and its all completely legal and acceptable.

"Mrs Jones contacted the police and was told that their customers should be getting what they need from a supermarket or their nearest shop."
"One customer said she was threatened with a £60 fine if she would not leave. She had travelled from Trelawyndd, roughly a five to ten minute drive, to get full-fat milk for her son. Her village does not have its own shop and her disabled son is lactose intolerant. Despite explaining her circumstances to the police, she says she was still told to leave and did so to avoid the fine."
Everybody still happy?

//If there's genuine evidence of antisocial behaviour, the police should by all means warn people off.//
If there's evidence of anti-social behaviour it should be dealt with accordingly (usually by means of the Public Order Act). Anti-social behaviour does not make one liable to a Fixed Penalty under the Covid restrictions.
