    probably probation report …. maybe another fine.

    all depends on your character …any previous ? (are you a scumbag or not)

    take this as a warning …and learn that doing stuff thats illegal will ruin you - if the court decides to convict you instead of probation act then you will have difficulty ever travelling to USA (and must also declare any convictions if asked for job interviews etc)

    to be honest the quantity doesn't matter that much …if you have 1000 fireworks or 1 …they are still illegal in this country and it only takes one to seriously harm or even kill someone (if something really goes wrong…. yes its a real worst case scenario here) …but to be honest …now is your chance to stop being a child and grow up….fireworks are extremely dangerous when not operated properly.

    I had an (almost) uncontrollable urge to grab a teenager by the scruff of the neck last night in the area around the SCR and GCD and tell him to cop on. Unfortunately that would have probably ended up with me being the one explaining my actions to the guards.

    I'm confused by you being fined a sum of money though, the guard fined you on the spot?

    Have a chat with a solicitor that regularly works in that court.

    Do you mean you had to pay cash bail?
