Abuse in supermarkets, discos and driving miles just to see snowfall are some of the most ridiculous reasons people broke covid rules in the last few weeks.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced a third lockdown on January 4, meaning tough restrictions were once again rolled out in order to battle the spread of coronavirus.
With it came strict rules about staying indoors. The PM said people are able to leave their homes to exercise, go food shopping or get medicine.
The public are also urged to stay local and not travel too far from where they live, e ven to exercise.
The rules have once again been very tough, and while the vast majority of people are sticking to the guidelines some people have been issued with coronavirus fines.
Police officers have been very busy the last few weeks and have issued fines across the country - some for unbelievable reasons.
Here we take a look back at some of the fines issued in our region.
