It ensures Commonwealth officers can work immediately without seeking state permissions, and saves the government from paying state registration fees for official vehicles and equipment."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/peace-officers-regulations","history":"/api/acts/peace-officers-regulations/history","analysis":"/api/acts/peace-officers-regulations/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/peace-officers-regulations/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/peace-officers-regulations/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/peace-officers-regulations/documents"}}
