Hello all

Hey folks. New forumer here.
Just curious to hear a few opinions on the following video taken at a photo enforced intersection.
As you can see, the light was still yellow for a fraction of a second as the camera-car entered the intersection (crossed the stop line), but it was close.
I drive a Honda Civic and we all know how those are when it comes to theft. On my driveway my brothers car was stolen twice and once broken in to. Also a few other cars have been stolen on my street. I have an alarm and all that. But say my alarm was going off and I ran outside and fought off the…

LEO Identification
Hi all,
I cruised the forum for a while but couldn't find an answer to my question...sorry if I missed it.
Is an LEO obligated to identify him/herself if asked by the vehicle operator in an unticketed traffic stop? If not by name, by badge number or? Would this be viewed as some sort of threat or challenge to the LEO?
Thanks...Rob
Re: LEO Identification
I just perused the "Police Services Act" which governs the majority of police in Ontario with no mention of an answer for you.
Each service might have its own policy, I don't know.
Most uniformed members will have their badge and/or name on their uniform somewhere. Aside from that, it would be easier just to get the plate of the cruiser as you know the time and location.
Re: LEO Identification
Thanks for looking it up Hwybear...the effort is appreciated.
I phoned the station and if a ticket wasn't issued they said there was no way to tell who pulled me over....one would think there would be some record of the stop or computer query.
Hopefully the LEO in question was just having a bad day, but if I run into him again I'll be more prepared.
Re: LEO Identification
I think that you can always ask the cop for the badge number, and they cannot deny you the information about that.
