Council and police blasted for hiring 'sniffer wardens'

Council and police blasted for hiring 'sniffer wardens' to smoke out drivers who light up in company cars

Quote:

Drivers who light cigarettes in company cars are being hunted down by 'sniffer wardens' after a council teamed up with police to smoke them out.
Tendring District Council and Essex Police are so eager to catch employees having a puff behind the wheel that they've set up road blocks across the county.
Armed with nothing but a heightened sense of smell, the sharp-nosed enforcers lie in wait, sniffing inside the cars of suspected lawbreakers, and scouring for used ashtrays.

Such a waste of time. Do they not understand what is happening in the real world. However on the flip side is this just another load of incorrectly and exaggerated reporting from the rubbish daily fail sorry i mean Mail :)

These ideas are only thought of to make money for themselves.
we'll be that short of money soon we'll be having to put the bodies in the boot so they can't have it.
and we don't want it to come to that.

I have never once seen a smoker in a car use the ashtray, they seem to think that it is someone elses job to pick up the cigarettes they chuck out their windows....filthy habit! :mad:

I agree about the junk food, but the biodegradable excuse is pretty feeble. :td:

Whether you like it or not smoking in a work vehicle is illegal. The Police are there to catch people breaking the law. They don't have a choice as to which laws are enforced, that is the job of the government
