Jessica Allen and Eliza Moore said they were

from their home for a walk
on Wednesday, and fined £200 each.
Derbyshire Police initially said driving
to exercise was "not in the spirit" of lockdown.
But it now says new national guidelines
mean it will review its position.
In a statement, the force said all of
its fixed penalties issued during
the new national lockdown will be reviewed.]
["I said we had come in separate cars,
even parked two spaces away and
even brought our own drinks with us.
He said 'You can't do that as it's classed as a picnic'."
Ms Allen said the experience was "very intimidating"
and had left her feeling scared of police in general.]
