Hilary Swank To Fight New Zealand Fruit PoliceOscar winner Hilary Swank was busted by authorities in New Zealand for illegally bringing fruit into the island country.
Oscar winning actress Hilary Swank is going to dispute a $187 fine for illegally importing an apple and an orange into New Zealand.
Hilary Swank didn't declare an apple and an orange that were in her luggage when she arrived in Auckland in January.
Oscar-winning actress has instructed lawyers to contest the instant fine, and in order to do that they will travel to New Zealand next week for a court appearance. Not a bad journey, may we add…
New Zealand imposes automatic fines for importing fruit and other food that may bring in diseases to protect its crops and livestock. New Zealand Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry spokesman from the country says it's a standard practice to issue fines automatically and that many visitors contest the ticket.
