1.7 General prosecution policy for traffic related matters All offences against the Transport Operations (Road Use Management) Act and the various regulations made under that Act may be prosecuted summarily under the Justices Act, on the complaint of any police officer or of any other person authorised by the Minister. Proceedings for all offences under the Transport Operations (Road Use Management) Act and the various regulations made under that Act against a person may be commenced by way of notice to appear, complaint and summons or, where justified, arrest (see s. 3.5: 'The institution of proceedings' of the Operational Procedures Manual). POLICY Officers are to consider alternatives to proceedings against a child (see s. 5.4.2: 'Alternatives for dealing with child offenders' of the Operational Procedures Manual). The provisions of s. 3.4: 'General prosecution policy' of the Operational Procedures Manual applies in respect to offences under the Transport Operations (Road Use Management) Act and other traffic related legislation contained in this Manual. Court brief required for traffic prosecutions POLICY Officers commencing or continuing a proceeding against an offender by way of notice to appear, complaint and summons or, where justified, arrest for traffic offences are to ensure that a court brief (QP9) is prepared (see s. 3.7.2: 'Documentation at first appearance' of the Operational Procedures Manual).
