I can’t imagine why anyone would get arrested for asking for quiet in cinema.
The former Sunshine Coast councillor said about halfway through the movie, a mobile phone started ringing nearby, a woman answered it and started talking.
“I put one finger up to my mouth to shoosh her,” Ms Clayton said.
“She ignored me - I then leaned across and touched her with three or four fingers on the top of her arm.”
The most annoying thing that can ever happen in a cinema is a ringing cellphone. And worst if the person actually chats.
She said the police took her to the food bar and explained that the woman had accused Ms Clayton of “invading her private space”. The woman had made a complaint of assault because Ms Clayton had touched her.
I also can’t imagine how touching can be an assault.
The police have more serious complaints to worry about than this stupid complaint.
