What is one of the main aims of Criminal Infringement Notices (CINs)?

The main aim of Criminal Infringement Notices (CINs) is to provide a mechanism for addressing minor offenses in a more efficient manner, allowing law enforcement to issue immediate penalties for certain violations. This on-the-spot method is designed to streamline the enforcement process, enabling officers to deal with minor infractions directly without requiring a court appearance. By issuing a CIN, the officer can impose a monetary penalty immediately, which can help facilitate compliance with the law without burdening the judicial system with minor cases.

This approach reduces the need for prolonged legal procedures and helps to alleviate congestion in the court system, allowing resources to be focused on more serious offenses and cases. The immediate nature of CINs allows for greater efficiency in law enforcement while still holding individuals accountable for their actions.
