A proposed “script” for law enforcement officer manning roadway checkpoints between WA’s regions reveals the “commonsense” instructions informing who ought to be allowed through and who ought to be turned back.
Key points:
- Non-essential travel has actually been forbidden to restrict the spread of COVID-19
- Dozens of checkpoints have actually been set up throughout the state to keep an eye on vehicle drivers
- Hundreds of lorries have already been stopped and turned around.
Breaches can be penalised with a fine of up to $50,000 for people and $250,000 for corporations, with cops performing mobile patrols in addition to manning checkpoints.
Cops are advised to remain at least 1.5 metres away from drivers at the checkpoints and if they can not do that then they ought to wear individual protective devices.
