roadshow, starting on December 2.
“We’ve highlighted
multiple arrests in recent months where scoff laws have been tracked down either
by our specialist tracing team or via the NPR technology. This system has
improved efficiency by allowing our officers to focus on the right vehicles,
which means it is becoming increasingly difficult to hide. And we therefore advise
motorists to pay their fines timeously if they do want to end up behind bars.” Said
Smith.
