POLICE are confiscating 50 cars a week

yeah true - it is a 3 time & then your out rule :)

If vechiles are seized auto theft will rise sharply like it did in a few other countrys.These laws are just a mask for the real problem the Gov has in retrieving millions of dollars in unpaid fines,the alternative they found is seizure laced with corrupted officials.Here in QLD the news reported that the vechile will be confiscated sold at auction and the funds would go towards unpaid fines and if there is anything left than the rest goes to the owner of the vechile.That and ones financial situation can cause a social stigma,crime wiil rise if the person on the recieving end is in some sort of financial trouble.Taking in consideration that you dont have to be hooning to go over the speed limit these laws are going to be very unjust.The law is very blind towards ones problem or situation and individual casses are hardly a benchmark for legal stance.Corruption will rise in the police force as it has been shown in the past by using that same law to intimidate and extract money from the offender by reminding him what would be the cheaper alternative a little bribe or lose your wheels.The police should not do traffic infringements but should stick to the important things like drug dealers,child molesters rapists,corrupt politicians/police and the rest of the socially disfunctional dipshits that need looking at.I dont expect the police to do much while their waist line goes up like a thermometer its pretty obvious that they depend on snitches and the sort to actually close a case, alternatively stopping bikes and fineing people will not only get their wages in line but gives the illusion that they actually work.It is ironic that we pay for their wages.Maybe setting up better/harder liscense tests and fixing the crap roads we have will drop the number of people losing their lives on our streets
