THE PROBLEMATIC NATURE OF EFFICIENCY CONTROL OF POLICE TRAFFIC SURVEILLANCE IS DELINEATED.

Abstract

THE USE OF REPRESSIVE MEASURES BY THE POLICE WITH RESPECT TO PROSECUTING TRAFFIC LAW VIOLATORS IS NOT A GOAL IN ITSELF BUT ONLY PART OF POLICE MEASURES IN TRAFFIC CONTROL. EFFECTIVE STEPS OF PREVENTIVE CHARACTER ARE STILL MORE SIGNIFICANT, SINCE THE ROAD USER IS OFFERED POSITIVE PATTERNS OF ROAD BEHAVIOR. POLICE PREVENTION AND REPRESSION ARE NO PANACEA; THE ULTIMATE RESPONSIBILITY IN ACCIDENT PREVENTION RESTS ON THE SHOULDERS OF EACH CITIZEN. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED). --IN GERMEN.
