Discretion is not so relevant anymore, not for us anyway, we get questioned if we don't dish out tickets and now the home office are setting monthly targets to meet which takes away any sensibility and need for common sense. I prefer to take time and give advice rather than shock and awe with tickets and points. People learn more from an officer taking 10-15mins and giving reasons why their behaviour is unacceptable. The wrong attitude just breeds resentment and mistrust.
I agree with morpheous that this will not work on everyone but thats played by ear and dealt with accordingly. certain offences are inexcusable.
