00:07Beach hoons, speeding drivers and reckless jet ski riders have been caught in a major police crackdown

00:16Officers issued 35 traffic infringement notices during a three-day operation across Noosa,
00:22North Shore, Tiwa Beach and Double Island Point,
00:25targeting dangerous behaviour on and around the sand.
00:29You're very, very lucky, as you've probably been explained already,
00:33that these guys have seen you and are dealing with it and are happy to deal with it and not
00:36us
00:37when you're taking your licences today and impounding your cars for 90 days.
00:41Okay, there's no ifs or buts.
00:44The amount of times we come up to the beach here because we have fatal rollovers with pea baiters
00:48who think that this is innocent and fun, I'm going to take a photo of your cars,
00:53I'm going to take a photo of your licence or your paper licence, whatever you've got.
00:56You're going to be flagged on our system as having been dealt with wire park rangers in relation to this
01:01type of behaviour,
01:02which means that there's just going to be zero chances going forward.
01:05Police detected one alleged drink driver and two alleged drug drivers
01:09after conducting almost 500 roadside breath tests.
01:13The operation also targeted reports of hooning,
01:16with alleged dangerous driving at Noosa North Shore
01:19and two jet ski riders fined after allegedly exceeding the area's strict six-knot speed limit.
01:25So it's a six-knot zone in here.
01:28Yeah.
01:29Get your licences.
01:31You can obviously see that there's families.
01:34I'm going to swim here, mate.
01:35You guys are ripping up and down here.
01:37All the other planes while we're speaking to you.
01:41Cooling Beach Police.
01:42Mate, we're doing mobile speed detection on the beach.
01:44Running the mobile radar.
01:45I've got you at 66.
01:46Do you know what the speed zone here is?
01:4740, mate, yeah.
01:48So you're a bit over.
01:50Mate, do you know why it's a 40 zone?
01:52It's camp zone, mate.
01:53It's mainly the kids.
01:54They've got obviously no road since they just run out.
01:57That's why we try and keep it down to the 40.
