Hmm.... interestingly contradictive wouldn't you say?
Kinda hard to promote safety and enforce the law if you're not stopping people. I guess that additional coaching must be instruction on determining the level of stupidity one must be engaged in before action is taken and once the suggested quota of stops per day is filled that's it? That's just awesome!
I'm not suggesting the MP harass people but these guys have a hard enough job without their own actions being over scrutinized. That breeds hesitation in enforcement that that could have potentially fatal consequences.
Not harping on you Descant, I'm harping on the Commissioner.
