French man fined for wearing flip flops on lockdown walk faces court hearing
According to reports in France's Sud Ouest newspaper, a man called Laurick, 25, went for a walk on 24 March 2020 at 4.45pm.
He was within 1km of his parents home in Saint-Medard-en-Jalles near Bordeaux, as per the rules at the time.
Laurick believed the walk was legal under the rules on physical activity because he was within 1km of his home and outside for less than an hour.
But police told him it did not count as physical activity because he was wearing flip flops not trainers – and he was fined 315 euros.
An extra 31 euro procedural cost has now been added, the paper reports.
A local source told Sud Ouest: "The situation is so grotesque, it's funny."
Laurick is now in the process of trying to prove he was right in court.
