MONTREAL–A Quebec man’s enthusiastic singing in the confines of his own car has earned him a $149 ticket for yelling.
Taoufik Moalla told CTV Montreal he was shocked and surprised after Montreal police officers stopped him on Sept. 27 not far from his home in the St-Laurent borough.
Moalla said officers asked him if he was screaming, and he said he told police he only was singing along to C+C Music Factory’s “Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now),” a dance staple and chartbuster from 1990.
The officer walked away and returned with a hefty fine for screaming in a public place.
Moalla said he’ll contest the fine in court.
