Prisoner safety !

This would not be a good time to be arrested ! You might face a very long wait for transport to a police station.

The entire fleet of two hundred and fifty police paddy waggons have been taken off the road - because they are likely to tip over without warning, subjecting both prisoners and police officers to injury.

It seems that the bureaucrats slapped a prisoner pod onto the rear of Ford Ranger vehicles - without any consideration as to what this extra weight and bulk would do to the handling safety.

Once again, the state budget will be compromised by another blunder. There will be added cost acquiring emergency transport for prisoners and at the same time there will need to be an urgent replacement of this vehicle fleet.

How about cutting the bureaucrats out of the equation and letting the vehicle manufacturers design a prisoner pod that suits their vehicle design ?

The chance of that happening is about the same as fairies appearing suddenly at the bottom of our gardens !
