I do not believe the scenario outlined would happen but I find it interesting that the Minister of State mentioned penalty points because that reminds me of the PULSE system, about which I have serious reservations. I met a man last Sunday who was stopped at a checkpoint about six years ago. An individual who was in the car with him happened to be a suspected dissident IRA member. The information went up onto the PULSE system but he knew nothing about it. He discovered very recently that his name was on PULSE because he was in a car with a person who was suspected of being engaged in illegal activity. How mad is that?
