Baboolal was slapped with fines totalling $19,000 for six offences. However, the said the single biggest fine of $10,000 for not having a valid policy of insurance is unjust, as his vehicle does have a valid certificate of insurance, which he showed to the officers.
He said he will seek legal advice, as he intends to contest the $10,000 fine.
