POLICE, RANDOM BREATH TESTING UNITS

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen) (14:44): My question is to the Minister for Police. What directions are given to police officers on whether or not to pursue vehicles which either do not stop or which drive off from random breath testing units?

The Hon. M.J. WRIGHT (Lee—Minister for Police, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:45): I think there are guidelines in place, and I will obtain those guidelines for the member. Obviously, it is a sensitive area and caution needs to be applied.
