However, I feel that we don’t need more laws but better enforcement.

Unless comprehensive steps are seen to be taken to implement the recommendations of the Report of the Royal Commission on the Police, we are just grasping at straws.

More laws translate into more avenues for corruption that is not restricted to traffic offences. In serious crime investigations, people can also be induced not to investigate too carefully or even omit or destroy critical evidence.
