If they have been used a few times clearly there is a precedent. It has been used at Dortmund, Nuremberg, Sevilla, Basel, Bolton, Blackpool and Hull.
I can find nothing about fines for any of those clubs never mind points deductions. Different governing bodies obviously but Birmingham City appear to have avoided a points deduction for one of their fans landing a punch on he who must not be named. The idea that one would be applied for chucking a few tennis balls on is out of any proportion.
