It is, but it is different with a motorbike or a car because that vehicle is registered, with all of the licensing, insurance and other arrangements in place, which enables An Garda Síochána to have the power to use that information or its judgement in an appropriate manner.

In those circumstances, we are better off not creating laws that are not enforceable. That is a basic principle of good legislation.
