Hello everyone, a great informative message board you have here. I was wondering if firemen are permitted to issue traffic tickets in Ontario, or perhaps report an alleged offence to the MTO/police that would result in a fine/demerit? I've tried the search function on this site and can't seem to come up with an answer to this. I'm assuming that at the very least, they would contact the police asap if they did see some kind of violation. That being said, how much power do fire-fighters have concerning HTA offences ?

"peace officer" includes a mayor, warden, reeve, sheriff, deputy sheriff, sheriffs officer, justice of the peace, jailer or keeper of a prison, and a police officer, bailiff, or other person employed for the preservation and maintenance of the public peace, or for the service or execution of civil process, or any officer appointed for enforcing or carrying out the provisions of this Act I heard that Fire Chiefs, Deputy Fire Chief and Captains are sworn in....hence why they can enforce smoke detectors, Fire Codes etc, however do not know the extent of their swearing in to meet the above criteria. To actually enforce the Act directly. Having said all that, a citizen can call in a traffic complaint, provide a statement to police and police can lay the charge based on the citizen's statement. Or very similiar is a school bus driver when someone runs the lights.

I just received a parking ticket for parking outside of the space, to me that is crazy because I was parked in the corner of the lot, was not blocking anyone or a through way, so I thought there is no harm. I've seen people park there all day and not get a ticket.

I was hoping to receive some advice on the unfortunate situation that I currently find myself in.
Last night, at 7pm, I was at an intersection waiting for the oncoming traffic to clear so that I could turn left. I thought that I was waiting at the intersection behind only one other vehicle (a van)…
So i received my first speeding ticket...officer claimed I was doing 73 km/hr in a 50 zone. He did reduce it to 63 - should fight it? The ticket did not mention a cross road. Its just states N.B on Caledonia. I don't believe d points are affected but I'm worried about insurance.
Exactly a week ago today, I was caught going 135 in an 80, on Highway 3 near Windsor, Ontario. I know this is just completely idiotic and there hasn't been a minute since I was charged that I haven't been smacking myself for this. I'm very, very remorseful and just overall torn about…
I was making a left turn, didn't have headlights on and was putting on my seatbelt at a time. Really stupid thing to do, was very stressed out and just feel dumb about it. What am I facing, and what impact will it have on my insurance? On ticket it just says Careless driving, there are no details..
Late Saturday afternoon, December 1st, I entered the Shops at Don Mills with my vehicle and drove due East as I needed to make a quick deposit in the TD Bank. I made a left hand turn onto the side street and on the right side where I parked, there is a condo under construction with all the usual…
Hi, I just received a notice in the mail with pictures of my car going through a red light. Ticket is in my husband's name, as he is the car owner, but I drive this car. I'm guilty as can be... can't remember doing it, but apparently went right through intersection after light turned red. I…
