00:00 Tasmania Police just want to remind everybody who's celebrating the grand final this weekend
00:05 that it's a day for everybody.
00:08 Whatever you're doing, do it safely.
00:10 Don't annoy anyone around you.
00:12 Enjoy the day.
00:13 Hopefully your team wins.
00:14 And if you are drinking, make sure that you act responsibly.
00:19 Get a designated driver because we will be out in force doing targeted patrols and static
00:24 RBT sites.
00:26 So our message is to enjoy your day but do it safely.
00:29 Our road policing, our uniformed people will all be out in force.
00:33 You'll see an increased presence on the roads.
00:36 So my advice is do not drink drive.
00:39 Don't even try and have a couple and think you'll be okay.
00:43 Generally on these days there is a very high chance that you will be intercepted and put
00:48 on an RBT, breath test or drug test.
00:51 We will have a presence in the streets.
00:53 We'll be in the pubs doing walk-throughs.
00:57 We understand it's a day where people like to celebrate with a drink.
01:02 But we'll be out in force.
01:03 We'll be making sure that people behave themselves.
01:05 As I said it's a day that everyone should enjoy.
01:06 I know that I'll be enjoying the day and I just hope that everyone else gets the opportunity
01:10 to have a good time on grand final day.
