What police have to put up with is astonishing. Spitting and the new tribalism included.

Start watching here.

A woman accused of spitting at police after claiming she was speeding through south west Sydney to get tested for coronavirus has been granted bail.

A court heard that Hannah Ayoub was behind the wheel of an Audi and driving along Greenacre Road in Greenacre on Friday afternoon when she caught the attention of police.

It is alleged the unemployed 25-year-old drove at 120 km/h in a 50 km/h zone before turning left onto Waterloo Road.

Police allege Ayoub then drove through a red light, swerved across unbroken lines to overtake another car and turned right in Macquarie St...

When she was physically removed from the car, she was handcuffed and allegedly claimed she on her way to be tested for COVID-19.

Police will allege that footage of the dramatic arrest, which has gone viral on social media, shows Ayoub coughing in the police officer’s face before spitting at him...

Defence barrister Tom Hughes said Ayoub had serious psychological issues, including post traumatic stress disorder and depression...

The arresting officer had to wait for his test results to ensure no virus or disease was transmitted.

Maybe she is as disturbed as she claims. What's the excuse for the men who confronted police?
