You've got to laugh

I know we shouldn't, but I can't help smiling about this:
A bogus police officer ordered a woman who was smoking on a Glasgow train platform to pay a £20 on-the-spot fine.
The unintended results of political actions!

But didn't East Germany abolish unemployment by hiring half of the population to spy on the other half? Can't we achieve full employment in Scotland by getting the non-smoking half of the population to keep an eye on the rest? It's Keynesian economics for the 21st century!

    Not just any old University Professor either, but a psychiactrist.

    That anyone would actually fall for this is about as likely as a University Prof getting taken in by a Nigerian email scam.
