Rules Compliance

From this morning's Valencia Life:

GANDIA MAN DETAINED
A 39-year-old man from Gandia, only identified by the initials M.E.C. was briefly detained yesterday by the Navarre Police in the town of Castejon. According to a statement from the Navarran Government, he was in a restaurant close to the A-68 road, when local police noticed that he was smoking in a non-smoking area. The police entered the establishment and asked him to either go to the area for smokers or extinguish his cigarette. Since he refused to do either, he was arrested and taken before a judge in Tudela, who fined him 240 Euros for failing to obey a police order. This is believed to be the first ever case of someone going against the new anti-smoking laws that came into effect on January 1.

Obviously, the gentleman needs a better Rules Advisor.
