Well thats it! Forget the cars being driven dangerously or in a bad condition!
Break out the stingers, lay out the tyre spikes!
We've got a real nasty piece of work in that van! His 'No Smoking sticker' is too small! Call out armed response! He's going down for that one!
I can't wait to be pulled off from my patrol work to be landed with that job. That'll really make my day, and make me feel that I have done something worthwhile to protect society!

Thats just the thing, its not down to the police to enforce. Here in Wales it is the Health and Safety Dept of the local authority and I assume that this is the case elsewhere. They are the ones that can issue on the spot fines, and refer any action to the court for any prosecution

they have already banned freedom of chioce .motor cycle helmets ,seatbelts,laning in the winter,...why don't they ban lieing,cash for honours ,holidays for favours,
in a so called democratic society shouldn't we be allowed a say in the matters ,it's run more like a communist state every day with b.liar in charge :x

Why should I suffer from passive smoking cancer.
leave non smokers the freedom of choice to breath clean air!
Oh and we only have about 2 enforcement officers in each city north of the border.
As and ex smoker I was always respectful to non smokers, never in their car or in their face, never in their homes, work place etc I think it comes down to good manners.
As a smoker I hated any sick [!Expletive Deleted!] who would light up in the table next to me in the cafe while I was having a meal with the kids blowing their foul stench across my pie and chips. I often lost the place with those obsequious, obnoxious, selfish, foul cretins who had the manners of a chimp at a tea party.
