Just had a brainwave and wondered why do police traditionally enforce road rules when:
- parking inspectors enforce parking rules (not the role of the police) - private companies are employed to run mobile speed cameras (supposedly not the role of the police?) Don't the police have enough on their hands already, without needing the added burden of sitting idle beside highways checking speed, for example. Also, the erosion of respect for police arising from them carrying out these duties, when they could better spend this time fighting violent crime, drugs, terrorism, etc., Certainly this can't be good? So, with some states like Victoria having the state road authority patrol cars (don't vicroads have fully marked vicroads patrol cars these days?), why can't the responsibility of patrolling the rules be carried out by these folk instead and police scrap the Traffic Management Units and replace them with different Task Forces? |
