Mr. Drew Harris:

It is an area of concern. Our assistant commissioner for roads policing, Mr. David Sheahan, is putting together specific action points on this. I ask that we be permitted to write to the committee to explain the position further. Part of it is about public information and another part relates to further enforcement. We mentioned mobile devices, smartphones and their scanning ability, and this year we are concentrating them on roads policing. Road policing members who are most likely to encounter individuals breaking the road traffic laws will be those with the appropriate equipment. We are aiming at having 2,000 by the end of the year. This means that dozens of them are going out every week. This will make a difference in terms of enforcement. Mr. Sheahan has other thoughts about what we should do, particularly in the context of how we might present these matters in court. I ask that we be permitted to come back with more detail. We regard this as an area of concern and people are flouting and abusing the criminal process.
