Former NRL star John Hopoate has been fined $400 for threatening a parking officer at an inner Sydney party spot.

Hopoate last month pleaded guilty to intimidating the ranger in the early hours of June 22.

His barrister told the Downing Centre Local Court on Tuesday that her client was ''a good, religious family man''.

''He hasn't exhibited that on this day, has he?'' Magistrate Jan Stevenson said.

Police facts allege Hopoate abused and stood over Anthony Bugge while he wrote a ticket for the former player's silver BMW in Potts Point.

When Mr Bugge told him to step back, Hopoate replied: ''Go ahead, you little faggot. Touch my car and you'll f---ing cop it.''

Hopoate's lawyer said her client had admitted to calling the ranger a ''wannabe cop'' and swearing at him.

She said he had only parked illegally because ''parking is at a premium'' around the clubs of Kings Cross, where Hopoate works as a security guard to support his 10 children. ''And you've got a parking officer who stuck his fingers up and blew a kiss,'' she said.

Ms Stevenson said Mr Bugge had just been doing his job. ''Here's a man who was going about what he was required to do and he was threatened because he had inconvenienced someone,'' she said.

Hopoate, who wore jeans, a tight white shirt and a black waistcoat, was silent through his brief appearance on Tuesday. He hugged his lawyer as they left the court room. He will have 28 days to pay his fine.
