Man fined for ‘screaming’ in public, says he was singing
A Canadian man says he was issued a $149 (approximately Rs 7,600) ticket for “screaming in a public place.” He says he was merely singing along to his favourite ‘90s dance track, in the privacy of his own car. Turns out, police officers did not like the sound of his music. Or his singing, to be precise.

38-year-old Taoufik Moalla was driving in Montreal last month when police pulled him over and asked whether he had been screaming. He had, in fact, been singing along to his favourite song, C+C Music Factory’s Gonna Make You Sweat ( Everybody Dance Now ).
“But it wasn’t loud enough to disturb anyone,” Mr Moalla told the Montreal Gazette. Police checked the inside of his car along with his licence and registration and handed him a $149 ticket.
