A relletje yesterday: by police during rush hour was a huge file in Eemnes on the A27. The VID was about the falls, but the police denied negligence. Question is: should this kind of control during the rush hour take place?

Here in the newsroom we are not there yet. Let us stress: it is not (or at least not only) to speed traps, but to a large-scale traffic management, which took place on the A27 in Eemnes. A file was due, according to the Traffic Information Service (VID) that an accusing finger to the police be because the advice of the VID to the control to lift and that way further the activity to prevent was not followed. The control eventually lasted until 21:00.

The police checked motorists and truckers on all kinds of violations and handed out many fines for violations. The politiewoordvoerdster could not find in the criticism and says that the police is no direct connection between the control and the file. In addition, she says that it is very important that during the rush hour checks take place.

Now, the direct link seems to be demonstrated because normally, the file on that place about 3 miles and it was not an extremely busy evening rush hour. But where the police are, of course, a point has is that in the traffic of the evening rush hour control must be possible, because as we have learned from the whole flitsfile-discussion is that criminals during rush-hour travel because of the probability of detection is lower.

A dilemma, therefore, needs the file to be checked so that there is more crooks get caught? Or weigh the economic damage and inconvenience that a file brings with it not against picking up a few belastingfraudeurs? We are very curious to your opinion, checking the file: yes or no, and why?
