The police commonly catch people with stolen goods, drugs in their car etc when doing these checks. I remember being stoppped one time, and while it was a painless experience for me, the guy in front of me had to explain why he had two samurai swords and a baseball bat in his boot.
I mean the average burglar isn't going to worry too much about the seat belt law are they? And they have to cart that gear around somehow.
I also know of a family whose young granddaughter was killed on the road by an unlicensed driver. If he had been caught by the police in a safety check, she would still be alive.
