LETTERS
NEW IN-CAR OFFENCES CAMERAS are consistent with police
command policy of recent years, technology before people.
The best way to enforce in-car offences laws on our congested
streets is to employ more officers on motorcycles.
The taxpayer gets a high-visibility police presence, stronger
evidence for successful prosecutions and the police force provides
more employment.
Police should ride sensible motorcycles like our paramedics. They ride
mid-sized machines able to penetrate heavy traffic. As recommended by the
coroner, police should patrol in pairs for work place safety.
Benefits include police on bikes booking drivers for
unroadworthy cars, licence offences and outstanding warrants. Plus they get
to medical emergencies quicker. These are things the new, expensive cameras
can not do.
