Heather du Plessis-Allan: The police are already stretched thin enough

I'm very much on the side of the cops over whether they should be pinging people for smoking in cars with kids.

You'll have caught up on this by now - we've found out police have not been enforcing the law since it was passed three years ago, they haven’t issued a single fine over it, and it's deliberate.

And the Police Union says the reason is because, frankly, cops are busy. And this is not a cop problem, this is a health problem.
