Auckland Council has spent more than $150,000 prosecuting car window washers in the past two years, it revealed today. Parliament is considering a bill in the name of National MP Jami-Lee Ross, which will ban window washers and allow police to issue spot fines of $150. Window washers have been involved in several violent episodes. In July, three young window washers were arrested for robbery, also in Greenlane. Filipaina said a law change would send a clear message to window washers about the dangers of their work.
