Game over for illegal hoon events
Minister for Police and Corrective Services and Minister for Fire and Emergency Services The Honourable Mark Ryan
Drivers taking part in illegal mass hoon gatherings will be further targeted under new anti-hoon powers passed in the Queensland Parliament this week. Police Minister Mark Ryan said amendments to the legislation will turn the table on hoons and support police enforcement action against those taking part in these gatherings. “As a result of these new laws, Police are now equipped with powers which will enable them to serve notices on the owner of a vehicle involved in hooning offences,” Minister Ryan said. “This means if the owner of a vehicle claims they weren’t driving at the time of the offence, it will be up to them to prove it.” Minister Ryan said road policing units across Queensland will be using high-tech camera technology along with the traffic monitoring CCTV network to target mass hoon gatherings.
