Last week police in Christchurch monitored an inner-city intersection and handed out $150 fines for traffic turning into the wrong lane on a four-lane road. Whilst against the road code, stunts like this does nothing to increase public confidence in the police - especially following stories like this one where police did not act against a tinny house despite complaints.

It is up to Annette King to set strategic priorities for the police, it is time non-life threatening traffic misdemeanours were ranked below suburban drug supermarkets.
