Officers focused on detecting drug and alcohol use, registration offences, licence breaches including disqualified or suspended drivers, unsafe or unregistered vehicles, and outstanding fines, including everything from unpaid police infringements, parking fines and fail to vote offences through to unpaid tolls.
