Well they certainly are, back to queensland being a police state.
Can of do do newman and his cronies are introducing changes to the hooning laws.
Under the existing law if you were caught hooning [which could be breaking traction from the lights] youre car was confiscated for 48 hours.
The new law means you wont see your car for 3 months, for a first time offence, and if youre caught again anytime in the next 5 years, yes 5 years,
youre car will be CRUSHED. 
Now i dont condone dangerous driving which endangers the publics lives, but drunk drivers and car thieves dont even get this sought of treatment.
So boys and girls, if you voted for this mob, and you or one of youre kids happen to get caught for a bit of spirited driving on a lonely country road, you got what you asked for.
What next, ill bet theres plenty more in the pipeline. |
Theyed rather crush a perfectly good car rather than sell it on and make money? Doesn't sounds like a government policy!
Seriously though, why is it so easy to punish road "hoons" but not Peadophiles? Sooner or later someone with the money will have to challange some of these laws, the punishment just seems so over the top and most frightening to me is that there is no judge or jury here for such a stiff penalty.
Again, not condoning dangerous driving, but it's sounding more and more like a police state (or should I say states).
