<p>The police have powers under the Road Traffic Act 1988 and Police Reform Act 2002
to seize vehicles being driven illegally without a valid driving licence or insurance
or in an anti-social manner. Decisions on when to use these powers are operational
matters for individual Police and Crime Commissioners and Chief Constables in conjunction
with local policing plans. They are best placed to understand how to meet the needs
of local communities and I welcome the work Hampshire Constabulary are doing to tackle
the illegal use of motorcycles under Operation Torque.</p>
