Spurious and vexatious complaints are illegal. So as part of the launch of a DIADD program, the police should tell us that complaints need to be legitimate and accurate, as there are serious penalties for making false or exaggerated complaints, which really would amount to an attempt to pervert the course of justice.

It is interesting to note that the police have provided a hoon hotline (134666) and do actually encourage us to dob in a hoon. And yet when it comes to tailgating and various other bad driving practices, undertaken by ‘normal’ non-hoon drivers on our highways and suburban streets, there is no such facility!

So a DIADD program would just be a natural extension of the hoon hotline program.
