Enforcement officers giving an elderly lady a fine in Romford.

LondonWorld

An elderly lady was given a £150 fine by enforcement officers, after dropping what a witness said was a "cigarette end" in Romford.  Despite multiple people pleading for them to just give her a warning, they are told the officers have a "zero tolerance approach".  Havering Council said it is "disappointed" in the footage, and that it will be cancelling the woman's fine.  Credit: Romford Auctions.

00:06 Why don't you give her a warning?

00:07 Huh? No, no, we don't give warnings.

00:09 It's just a friend of ours.

00:10 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:11 You know who I am?

00:12 I'm just contemplating a new trip.

00:14 And them ones up there as well.

00:16 Yeah, my colleagues, my colleagues are them.

00:18 My managers.

00:19 And you, this lady's nearly 90 and you're taking her details.

00:23 Nah, it's not your job.

00:24 It's not your job, mate.

00:25 Can you give me a warning?

00:26 You're all allowed to give me a warning.

00:28 Take a photograph of him, mate.

00:30 Yeah.

00:31 Listen, mate, why can't you give an old lady a warning?

00:37 I don't know what's going on.

00:38 I'm just going to come over and see what's going on now, mate.

00:40 It's OK.

00:41 Listen, no, no, old age pain.

00:42 Yeah, I know, mate.

00:43 He's just going to do his job.

00:44 I haven't seen what's happening.

00:45 Well, I'm going to go and see what's happening.

00:47 He's just going to do his job.

00:48 I'll just have a look at them.

00:49 No, that's all.

00:50 We've paid him because we got him.

00:52 What's that saying, mate?

00:53 I'm going to shut down.

00:54 Yeah, we're charging him.

00:55 We got that.

00:56 We got that last week.

00:57 Oh, from the outlet, was it?

00:58 Yeah.

00:59 So, same thing.

01:00 But, you know, them old people, they've got no money.

01:02 I know.

01:03 What it is, the council's got to tell the court.

01:04 She's having the same, obviously.

01:05 She's just doing her job.

01:06 I haven't seen what's happened.

01:07 I've just seen everyone surrounding him.

01:08 I'm just going to make sure he's all right.

01:09 That's all, mate.

01:10 OK.

01:11 Thank you.

01:12 Why are you walking away, Issa?

01:26 Why can't you give an old lady, two old ladies, a warning?

01:30 We don't, unfortunately, they've taken a zero tolerance approach to it.

01:33 Who says it's zero tolerance?

01:34 Council.

01:35 Council.

01:36 Council say you can't give a warning.

01:37 No.

01:38 No, to anyone.

01:39 No.

01:40 There used to be warnings, like a couple of months ago.

01:41 Well, there used to be, but we never had this.

01:43 Three months ago, it's not just now.

01:45 That law is since, like, 1990.

01:48 If you go back to 30 years...

01:49 You've not been here.

01:50 You've only just come in the last few months.

01:51 Yeah.

01:52 I'm going to put this on TikTok, just because you're saying the council won't give you...

01:55 I prefer you didn't put me on TikTok.

01:56 Well, I'm going to, because it's old ladies, old ladies.

01:59 If you're going to put me on TikTok, then we're going to have to escalate it, and we're going to go from different...

02:03 Good, good.

02:04 It's GDPR, mate.

02:05 GDPR, yeah.

02:06 Good, good, good.

02:07 Good.

02:08 I'm going to put you on TikTok, and I'm after two million followers.

02:11 I'm not talking to you while you're on video, Issa.

02:12 Sorry.

02:13 Take the camera off, and I will talk to you.

02:14 I only hope you have a chance.

02:15 Take the camera off, and I will talk to you.

02:16 I won't take you off.

02:17 Why should I take you off?

02:18 I'm not talking to you while the camera's on.

02:19 I'll make sure I follow you.

02:20 I'm not talking to you while the camera's on.

02:25 You can video all you like, but you're not getting any answers out of me while you're

02:26 on video, Issa.

02:27 I've been here 20 years.

02:28 You've been here three months.

02:29 Don't give me all that crap.

02:30 This is what I mean about Romford.

02:37 They work, but they just don't want to know.

02:39 It's just more money they're taking off people for throwing a little piece of paper or dropping

02:43 a piece of paper outside the shop.

02:45 So, will they give him a warning or not?

02:52 They said they can.

02:53 No.

02:54 I don't know what your conversation's just been.

02:55 What he's got to do is he's just got to give a fixed penalty notice.

02:56 But the council has to get everyone to get a chance.

02:57 But a fixed penalty notice is £150, isn't it?

02:58 £150 reduced to £125, since the council's started from £40.

02:59 You've got your job to do, but...

03:00 I do all the training, so I'm just making sure he's okay.

03:01 That's all.

03:02 I'm not having an argument.

03:03 Okay.

03:04 Thanks.

03:05 That's all.

03:06 I'm not having an argument.

03:07 That's all.

03:08 I'm not having an argument.

03:09 Okay.

03:10 Thanks.

03:11 That's all.

03:12 I'm not having an argument.

03:13 That's all.
