TIN = Traffic Infringement Notice
The data was extracted from IJIS as at 3 September 2005.
The Offence Drive Unregistered Vehicle (751397) has been used by police since 2 May 2004, and explains the large increase from 2003-04 (07) to 2004-05 (461).
Prior to 2 May 2004, an ‘unregistered motor vehicle’ offence was mainly dealt with by issuing a traffic infringement notice. Prior to the date the offence was not time limited as to 30 days or less as currently described. It covered the offence regardless of vehicle registration expiry date hence the large decrease from 2003-04 (473) to 2004-05 (107).
Since 2 May 2004, the police have dealt with the offence using one of two TINs (751395 for expiry <30 days & 751396 for expiry >30 days but less than 1 year) OR by direct summons or arrest (751397).
Offences 751395 and 751396 are persons proceeded against by Arrest or Summons after failure to pay a TIN for the offence(s). The shaded columns represent a sub-set of a larger population group of offenders within the offence set.
The counting methodology is based on the proceeding population as derived from the Integrated Justice Information System (IJIS) person identification number, case identification (case_id), and apprehension date. A proceeding represents a date on which a person is proceeded against by police. For example, a person proceeded against for multiple offences in one day is counted once, and a person proceeded against for multiple dates, is counted once on each of those dates.
