I do think that the penalty is pretty strong
which suggests that the evidence that they did have to begin the investigation is quite strong also. I don't think enough detail has been reported about the case for me to decide whether or not it's a breach of his rights or not.

NO NO NO NO NO.
Whether he's been noncing it up all over the shop or not, it's either a breach of his (and everyone's) rights or it's not. The circumstances are irrelevant.
