GPS for Police is Tassie bound as well. Not sure why as it seems a waste of money. Seems an over empowered Police force is the way Australia is heading as citizens civil liberties shrink more and more under the guise of safety and security.
On this point, I can see 4 words;
Evidence - Hi-Tech proof of location, no defense can beat it (AFAIK).
Integrity - Possible data download or transmit capability, so if a positive alcohol reading is detected, it must be acted upon.
Accountability - Possible data storage for Audit purposes.
However as mentioned before the motorist is an easy target and a never ending source of revenue for governments.
Not wrong - but it demonstrates there is "anti-social" behavior out there! The Police would not be out there if society didn't want them, so we must not drink and be anti-social behind the wheel.
I thought drinking was one of the most pro-social opportunities we get, but as mentioned before, we are more limited now, more than ever when it comes to where how social we can get with the factor of getting home included.
