    So in other words; now that they don't have to give you a ticket, they'll do it just to prove a point?

    i find it interesting that police are always under-resourced, yet in NSW they are also responsible for parking fines??

    in WA, the local councils look after parking, which frees up police to do serious policing (like fining jay-walkers LOL)

    I saw a couple of people pulled over on my way upto Sydney yesterday, all highway patrol. They are never going to stop booking people, play it safe.

    If you read it, instead of a fine, they will issue a court notice - which sucks more than an on the spot fine.

    Their point is about revenue - not policing.

    This happened a while back, maybe 9 months ago. I got pulled over in a school zone (didn't see it). Was given a stern talking to, and then was let go. Didn't mention anything about their strike until the last minute though, and I was pretty relieved..
