1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,920
Speaker 1: Big weekend as the police went after the boy race

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: his Saturday night across Wellington Bay. A plenty in Canterbury

3
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: we had four hundred and seventy two infringement notice this issued,

4
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: sixty nine vehicles seized and pounded or ordered off the road,

5
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 1: eleven cars were pinkle green stick and six people were

6
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: forbidden to drive, four people had licenses suspend at thirteen

7
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 1: at excess boost relieving Central District Commander Superintendent Jeanette Parkers

8
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 1: with us, very good morning to you. So the work

9
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: was clearly out there to be done, wasn't it.

10
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 2: Absolutely yeah, look at disrupting our communities, the people in

11
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 2: these vehicles and causing damage injuries as definitely not going

12
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 2: to be tolerated. So we were out about.

13
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: As successful as you would claim it to be. Were

14
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: you surprised at how much of it there was to

15
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: clean up?

16
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: I thank this is not a new issue for us.

17
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 2: We've been policing this for some time and definitely, you know,

18
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 2: we went out and actually advised that we would be there.

19
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: And when you see results such as nine hundred infringement

20
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 2: notices across the districts, it's not good enough.

21
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: And what happens to those infringement notices. These sort of

22
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: people who dutifully pay the fines.

23
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 2: Well, so that's interesting because actually we had bases working

24
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 2: across in Wellington and they seized vehicles where people had

25
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 2: outstanding fines. And I'll remember one situation where they actually

26
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: one person on the side of the road paid they're

27
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 2: three one thousand dollar fine, so they didn't have the

28
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 2: vehicle sees.

29
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: Three thousand dollars on the spot they paid it.

30
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 2: Absolutely unbelievable.

31
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, pink or green STICKERD means what.

32
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: It's unroadworthy vehicles that so you know, you get vehicles

33
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 2: that have been lowered, that have been altered and they

34
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: are still on the road and they're not roadworthy.

35
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: How many cars actually got taken off people and they

36
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: won't get them back hence solving the problem.

37
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: So there was fifty vehicles impounded and varying reasons. So

38
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: they will be managed according to what the legislation lifts

39
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: were those.

40
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: And who are the people behind the wheel The same

41
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: sort of people you would expect to round up on

42
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: a Saturday night that drive these sort of cars and

43
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: do this sort of thing.

44
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: Look sadly, these are young people, so they are teens

45
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: and up. I mean, you know, on occasions parents I

46
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 2: don't know they're out there. There was an example in

47
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 2: Wellington where our staff went to an address that they

48
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,839
Speaker 2: identified with a vehicle that you know, these young people

49
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: were seventeen and wearing technical vests and being aggressive. Turned

50
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: out that they were the learner driver and the mother

51
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 2: rang her some to get her car back. Cheers.

52
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: Is this a will it have a chilling effect? Or

53
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: is there more with this came from?

54
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 2: But I think this will definitely have a chilling effect,

55
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 2: and certainly we're not finished. And for the people that

56
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: were involved in illegal behavior, I mean, you know, we

57
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 2: had eagle about, we had a lot of support. We're

58
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 2: getting support from the community which is tremendous, and our

59
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 2: staff is focused and we will continue. So people who

60
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 2: were involved in the legal behavior on the nights, we

61
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 2: will follow them up and they may just receive a

62
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 2: knock at the door.

63
