Libs call for greater police powers

is ‘fair dinkum’ offensive?

It is already like this in NSW.

The idea is that instead of simply summonsing said offender to Court for the same offence a ticket can be issued which works exactly the same as a speeding fine.

If you dispute said ticket then go to Court and argue your case. If you accept the ticket pay it and nothing further said.

Not really an increase in powers simply a better way of dealing with it.

The crowd control cops at the footy better take a few extra pads, ’cause they’ll be giving tickets to half the crowd. The language!! Poor ump.

Well said Dante.

Stephaniak and Pratt have been pretty silent over the latest police agreement. I thought in the past both sides of politics had said we would get more police in the new agreement, as opposed to just ‘targets’ for numbers of people breathalised etc.

So why didn’t it happen, and why haven’t the libs made a fuss?

“Bill Stefaniak calls for greater police powers” is quickly becoming a “Dog bites man” headline. The man hasn’t seen an increased police power he didn’t like.

but that would need the police to be on the streets when those types are around.. and that’s a rare occasion.

Agreed.
