Exposing oneself is a psychiatric condition and this person should have been referred to a mental hospital for treatment.

The police may have arrested either a beggar or a person who is mentally disorder.

If he charged Rs 10.00 each from onlookers could have easily made a reasonable profit after paying the fine!

The printing cost of the receipt that will be given by the Registrar of courts when this person pays the fine may have exceeded the fine! I have heard that Chinese prostitutes are fined just Rs. 50!!

Police Labour time, Transportation of the culprit, Court Hearing, and other expenditures must be more than 100 times than the Fine Imposed. Waste.

Like this fine of Rs. 10. The lawyers charges should also be lower. What happen in Sri Lanka if a person whose in distress go to the court he/she has to sell their properties for the fees. Why should be spend like this for the benefit of lawyers? I'm sure for this single case even this poor person might have spent more than Rs. 10 000/=

These fellows are doing funny things. Rs.10 that is just 0.075757575 USD. Really these people will make the Sri Lanka wonder of Asia. Its a waste of time to the court and the Police. Nothing else.
