Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Hmmm...black...waitaminute!! I have a black Jetta!!! Hope they don't suspect it was me...

Unless they have an eye witness they have nothing...

Fight this.

Where you charged?

You can attend you local fines office, advise them of your court date and that you wish to pay. They'll take your payment and have you removed from the docket. Or just not go, you'll be found guilty in absentia, plus a $5 court cost.

No worries, call the police officer, offer them to take a paint sample from your vehicle. Tell them flatly that your vehicle was not responsible. Contact your insurance tell them the same. Find why they suspect you. Is there a witness?

You're not supposed to post the same thing in multiple sections.

You know, I'm not sure...it may be one of those responses that's been adapted to 'the local dept.' but it certainly is a classic...

Well I appreciate any criticisms, but if you haven't work in the profession, I generally take it with a grain of salt.

I have a lot of respect for CBSA employees, also doing a tough job and subject to a lot of public criticism.

And I agree about your comment on 'the spectrum' but that's true of any industry which employs people, from hotel ...

We can google all day for examples in the U.S and Canada about officers not on the up and up.

In the USA there are 683,396 police officers. In Canada, 67, 436, so roughly 3/4 of a million police officers in North America. Doing, arguably one of the most dangerous jobs, stressful jobs in unpredictable situations...I agree, there's probably ONE ...

A police officer IS A PEACE OFFICER.

Turning lights on, keeping hands in view and opening the glovebox are nothing more than courtesies.
