Bring them south

AUSTRALIAN Lawyers Alliance state president Fabiano Cangelosi should be ashamed of his comments concerning Tasmania Police taking a most proactive, legal action in trying to catch those criminals who fly under the radar in remote towns in our paradise state ( Mercury, July 3).

Sleep better after blitz

I’D say it’s OK for our police to carry out surprise checks on small country towns like the recent one in Cressy. Police should have the powers for such blitzes and checks in order to catch any crooks. Police are trained to do this job without intimidating or frightening the residents. After such exercises, t towns can feel safer and sleep peacefully knowing they are being cared for by our cops. Nobody in Tasmania is above the law. There shouldn’t be any town held to ransom or used as a haven for crooks or felons. We have a proficient police force which vigilantly fights crime. Tasmania must be out of bounds for lawlessness or criminal activity.
