IF, as you report (LET, January 26), drastic cuts are needed in the police budget, then could we be informed of the total cost of the recent action against motorists during December, when thousands were stopped and questioned and only a handful found to be over the legal limit for alcohol?
The other annoying thing was the displaying all over the county of the 'Don't Drink And Drive' posters.
Surely, the police should know that people are allowed by law to drink and drive within permitted limits.
