Can someone summarise the gist of the article, as I don't have the energy to read all that.

Now imagine if they used all that technology to catch criminals rather than motorists

Please explain how someone in a stolen motor car is not a criminal? Theft is a serious indictable offence in Victoria. All sounds very criminal to me.

A component of all registrations paid goes towards Traffic Accident Commision insurance. If you are walking along the roadside and are hit by an unregistered driver, do you want to run the gauntlet of the public health system rather than having the government pay for your private treatment through its near unlimted TAC budget? Don't think there aren't a shipload of unregistered drivers out there either, there are. Every single one of them is making your annual registration dearer by not paying theirs.

Thank you for your informed view.

I agree, well said.

Sure, someone stealing a motor vehicle is a criminal. So is a peadophile, rapist, bank robber, someone who commits GBH.

How does the technology described above assist catching those other criminals?

It's not claiming too, but since you ask, stolen cars are frquently used in the commision of stick-ups. It seems you're suggesting any crime less than a peadophile, rapist, armed robber or someone commiting as assault is not worthy of police attention or any investigation. The crimes you have named are all investigated by detectives. Detectives have the resources, the training and generally the experience needed to charge offenders for these complex and serious crimes. They are not something investigated by general duties police working the van. Without the appropriate training in the handling of evidence, interview techniques, taking of complex and involved statements, to name a few factors, crooks walk on these crimes.

Have a think about it before the fingers hit the keyboard.
