The Police _____ fine?

Hello everyone,

We say pay a fine, face a fine, but what about when the police gives it?

What verb can we use?

The police ___________ me a $100 fine.

You can say "give a fine" or more formally "impose a fine on someone"

Also, "fine" can be used as a verb:

The police fined him or he was fined by the police.

"to issue a fine" is also common. See for example: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-york-north-yorkshire-30273918
