Unjust police principles

ROD HANNIFEY, the president of the National Road Freighters Association (NRFA), has recently proposed that the police should not be used to enforce the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL). Highway Advocates, which is the affiliated legal practice of the NRFA, thinks this is unlikely to occur but we believe Rod is onto something.

So far, every one of our clients’ police matters has had significant problems, including:
