POLICE stop-checked 23 cars in Hadleigh at the weekend.
Special constables carried out the operation by the old fire station on Friday night.
They issued one caution for possession of cannabis and ordered one person to produce their vehicle documents at a police station within seven days.
Ten breath tests were carried out but no one was arrested for drink driving.
They also issued forms which required people to get problems on their cars fixed.

not really a worthwhile exercise if you accept the news release : 24 Stopped 1 caution !! Does not make sense.

If you "tug" a driver if could be for a variety of reasons - speeding / seat belt / mobilephones / headlights / foglights etc etc
Not all of these end up as a caution, more so pentalty tickets, words of advice or if anything serious an arrest.
Please do your research before you comment as you end up looking daft.
(also surprised this wasn't down to Nu Labour etc etc as you continually tubthump that everything is their fault)

I would pay more to have more police. The Police element of my council tax represents about 10% of the bill. I would be happy to pay double to the police, which would mean a 10% higher total bill.
