London's cab enforcement team made 4,500 arrests for touting in the past five years and dealt with 2,000 offences with summonses.


What happened to the other 2,500?

Quote:
Most cases went to magistrates' courts, where offenders were fined £135 each.


I suppose the others went straight to jail without collecting two hundred pounds?

I think a FPN for touting in london is a good idea as long as the PCO are told, the driver will then lose his PHV licence for a year.
It also means the police don't have to come off the streets for up to 4 hours whilst they deal with it.

What gets me is that some of these persistent touts could end up with any amount of tickets in one night?

Might be an idea to give the touts 3 points as well, might act as a detterent.
