Penalty notices for disorder are given for offences like:
shoplifting
possessing cannabis
being drunk and disorderly in public
You can only get a penalty notice if you’re 18 or over.
You’ll be asked to sign the penalty notice ticket. You won’t get a criminal conviction if you pay the penalty.
You can ask for a trial if you disagree with the penalty notice. You’ll get a bigger fine if you don’t ask for a trial but don’t pay the fine.
You can pay a fixed penalty online.
