You know…a dash cam with time day and date is good as proof of suspicion and reason for engagement of said stoppage.

because their “base” told them it was not a good idea to do it over CM. the PLP care not about public safety and only photo ops.

I don’t mind…not at all…one thing though….please utilise common sense and do it in a lay by so as not to slow traffic.
Commerce is money and traverse is commerce.
Thank you.

Lets be straight up from the starting line. The idea of roadside testing is great. But look at the wording very carefully.

It states:
All vehicles passing through a checkpoint. This was the terminology used.

There is no exceptions applied in this act. Astonishingly this Act applies to emergency vehicles on blues also bus services. Tourist rentals and yeah you guessed it, all of us.

Does BPS have manpower to hold persons for a certain time without caution. Check the law people. Without a caution you can not be held. This is ransom oh and illegal.

There is also no facility set up as of now 8.2.18 to calibrate this device.

Im all for roadside testing but what this is, is a negligent attempt to pull money.

Legal hurdle means there no way it would’ve been passed before cup match. All the circles are starting to collide.

And you felt it necessary to give everyone a heads up just before the weekend? Unbelievable. Why ???

That’s more likely–when they awoke from their paid slumber–they realized the deadline was past–oops–who cares anyway–no one is held accountble for their inaction around here–

Who needs those pesky sobriety checkpoints anyway–

your tax dollars being spentto fund our sleeping beauties!

LOL!!
