In the past five years, 33 people have been convicted of or given stern warnings for evading police roadblocks, with two directly causing injury to officers.
This is out of about 8,000 roadblocks conducted each year from 2016 to last year.
Sharing these figures when the House debated the Police Force (Amendment) Bill, Minister of State for Home Affairs Desmond Tan reiterated that motorists who deliberately evade roadblocks seriously endanger the lives of police officers and other road users.
Thus, new laws passed yesterday will significantly increase the penalties for such crimes, he said.
The maximum penalty for roadblock evasion will be raised from a year in jail and a $5,000 fine to seven years jail and a $10,000 fine.
