From memory he also refused to give police his details when asked.
EDITED:
Police said the officers attempted to do a routine check and spoke to Mr Hale about not wearing a face covering and left the premise after confirming Mr Hale’s identity and address, with no further action taken, 3AW reported.
For the rest of us I am sure common sense would apply. But most of us do not go out and linger or choose to not follow police instructions or requests.
If you are not at home, and the curfew was in force, then the police asking who you are and why you are there is a entirely reasonable action.
Note that CCTV of the incident shows him maskless, binless, but using his phone
Also why such a warm jacket and beenie for a 30 second bin run? ie His appearance (which is what police act on) is of someone out and about.
