Yeah, I can understand the thinking behind it, if its locked that makes it harder to break into. What I have issue with is with most recent Police Blitz's, you see a story pre warning and educating people leading up to the Blitz, thats good Policing, you break the rules, you cop the fine as you were warned. In this case I don't beleive there was any warning (I may be wrong here)they just went out and enforced a little known offence.Poor Community Consultation.
When was the last time you saw police cruising your local Train Station car park in the name of prevention? They don't even like turning up when the window has been smashed, you have to take it to them!
Cheers, Dave
