Taylor and Frank Winterstein at Saturday's anti-lockdown rally in Sydney.
Glamorous WAG Taylor Winterstein has taken to Instagram to post video of detectives knocking at her home today to serve her and her footballer husband two $1000 Covid protest fines.
In the video, posted to her Instagram account with 70,000 followers, the fanatical anti-vaxxer demanded the two plain clothes officers show "evidence" they were police.
She also accuses them of "trespassing on my private property".
When one detective held up his badge, she said it wasn't enough and demanded more "evidence".
Winterstein was photographed with her husband, former Manly NRL star Frank Winterstein, prominently participating in Saturday's unauthorised anti-lockdown protest in the Sydney CBD.
She posted several lengthy videos on Instagram of them at the demonstration, in which she can be heard egging on her husband not to go "near any media cameras".
Winterstein posted the latest video on Sunday afternoon as police were "flat out" hunting down rule breakers across Sydney to serve infringement notices for yesterday's incident.
NSW Police confirmed to news.com.au that the 32-year-old and her 34-year-old husband were issued the $1000 notices "for breaching public health orders after they left home without a reasonable excuse and attended the Sydney CBD protest".
In the video, the masked detectives enter the Winterstein property via a front gate and are filmed by Taylor.
She then demands of one officer, "Can I have some evidence that you are a police officer and why are you trespassing on my private property?"
The detective replies, "We're not trespassing", which she disputes, saying "yes you are".
When her father, Campbelltown landscaper Ces Moors, who lives next door, tries to intervene, Winterstein shouts, "Dad, Dad, Dad, just hang on for a second."
She then addresses the second detective: "Can I see actual evidence, not a badge, that you are a detective".
He produces a police document and she insists: "can I please actually have a look".
When he tells her, "before we go on, I've got this on camera", she replies, "Yeah and I've got this on camera too."

The detective tried to tell Winterstein something, but she keeps on interrupting him and asking, "how have you got grounds to trespass on private property".
He replies: "We've got common law right to enter your property. Would you like us to leave?"
When she tells him "yes" he says "we'll put the infringement notice in the post" and Moors opens the gate to let out the two detectives.
In one of the videos of the crowd Winterstein, can be heard yelling "no vaccine passport" and "no more lockdown".
Winterstein, a former Wests Tigers club receptionist, has been married to former Samoan international Frank Winterstein for eight years and the couple have two young children.
Winterstein brands her website and internet influence business as the "Tay's Way Movement" via her Instagram handle @tays_way_.

She and her husband also have a podcast, Meet The Wintersteins.
The WAG and mother-of-two runs $220-a-head workshops on the dangers of vaccinations, and parent empowering seminars entitled Families for Freedom
Winterstein was an ambassador for the anti-vaccination film, Vaxxed.
She claims to have her own vaccine research online and has said among NRL couples are a "strong core group" of anti-vaxxers.
In 2019 Winterstein was quoted as saying: "I know for a FACT there are MANY high profile, 'influencers' on social media among the sport and wellness industry, who do not vaccinate their children but won't publicly share their beliefs."
Also in 2019, when a measles outbreak was sweeping across the Pacific, Winterstein dubbed her husband's home country "NaziSamoa".

After 4000 of its 200,000 population became infected and 32 died in quick succession, the Samoan government brought in compulsory vaccination for all children and adults.
It declared a state of emergency and children were banned from public gatherings.
In the last week, both Taylor and Frank Winterstein have posted notices on Instagram saying it was only people who were wearing masks that were getting infected with Covid-10.
"Friendly reminder, the tens of thousands of maskless people marching in Sydney today are not the ones lining up to get tested or jabbed," the notice read.
