I appreciate your dilemma, but for $20...I couldn't be bothered...

We've all got laptops in the cars...well 90% of cruisers do...

Nope.

Just curious.

How is it that you are in court 4 times a year?

We don't have to measure decibels cause the law doesn't require us too.
75. (1) Every motor vehicle or motor assisted bicycle shall be equipped with a muffler in good working order and in constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise and excessive smoke, and no person shall use a muffler ...

52. (1) Where a persons drivers licence is suspended, notice of the suspension is sufficiently given if delivered personally or,

(a) in the case of a suspension under section 41 or 42, sent by registered mail addressed to the person to whom the licence was issued at the latest current address of the person appearing on the records of the Ministry ...

That's hilarious!!

Thanks, my eyes are still watering from laughing!

Appreciate the extra input and while I've heard the end of the month story, having worked for a GTA service and now onto another large service outside the GTA, I 100% disagree with the end of the month conspiracy concept. City government doesn't not have a write more tickets dialogue with the police service, that would be dumb, dangerous and ...

So one guy died out of 1600?

Not good (especially if you're that guy), but death when a tazer was used stats in north America are closer to 1 in 24,500 uses.

Still think it's the Tazer, or it's maybe the guy at the end of the prongs?

Just sayin'

After you lose your detector of course...and you don't even want to know what your insurance will do to you (without lube) if you get caught running with a detector.

Our detector - detectors are pretty sharp BTW.

1. Follow the speed limit.
Within reason 10-15 km/h is tolerated to give drivers the benefit of minor inattentiveness and speedometer calibrations. Don't even think about being the driver moving faster than the flow of traffic. If you srand out, you'll be noticed.

2. Wear your seatbelt...Always.
It will save your life. A good friend of mine was ...

Well I think you got a break with the Red Light...but Disobey Lane Light is the next option...

VERY well spoken...

Does anyone think that this process is abusive?

You clearly speak English as you've noted by your near flawless command of the language...so you would have understood the sign and for some other reason didn't obey it.

Isn't that the real issue here?

What would you say if a fluently English person disobeyed a stop sign and ran over a child, your ...

What's your driving record like?

Agreed.

Dialogue is good.

1) This guy WAS moving toward police, they both were...and seeing as police esentially walked past the first guy, something else (out of camera frame) clearly drew their attention...again I await ALL the facts...

However this guy's shirt was torn, from a previous assault, had he already been described to police as violent or ...

1) Ok we disagree, how was this guy not A POTENTIAL THREAT, people who assault police are the ones who moves slow to comply while they formulate an improvised attack, almost every time I've been assaulted it came out of a situation where some was hesitant to comply, it's recognized indicia of assaultive behaviour...why else wouldn't you immediately ...

JPs don't chew officers up in court, never seen it happen in 22 years...still it sounds like you were wrongly ticketed...good thing the system works, mostly...

And I'm curious, if the system is broken, what would you suggest?

You found a few articles which is good...but historically speaking people in a position of trust are punished more severely than the general public.

You haven't convinced yet that we don't get it worse.

You get into a collision, reporting center, no charges.

I get into one, charges plus internal discipline by way of police act charges. Yeah we ...

Red light ticket? So the officer just made it up?

Being charged can be unfortunate, but is it wrong?

Wrong is being convicted for something you didn't do...if the police had an eyewitness, even a mistaken one, and didn't pursue their duties, that would be wrong too?

It's unfortunate that you find yourself in this predicament, get a lawyer...and best of luck. The truth generally has a way of ...

So you want to show yourself obeying the law?

What if it showed you breaking the law? Would you turn the tape over to police and request your ticket?

No one thinks all police/bankers/doctors/librarians/dentists/lawyers(especially them)/baristas/morning show hosts/politicians/drivers are honest. True police powers can mess with people's lives, but ...

Actually careless driving is possibly the easiest charge in the HTA to prove. Having investigated over 1000 collisions, I almost always lay a Careless Driving charge. A collision is almost always as a result of carelessness by one or both drivers.

Don't get me wrong, there is generally some leeway in court and I work with everyone charged to try ...

Well, go to your first appearance date, request full disclosure.

They must have witnesses, cause had they witnessed it they would have likely arrested you right away.

In essence find out what the evidence is...

No doubt, I was just making a point...not trying to win the discussion...

The way we society function has been around for eons, it works for most of us most of the time...show mw a country or society in modern times that functions better than we do using your proposed system...

And while you may believe slower cars cause accident check the NHTSI website to see if you can find any proof of this.

But SEVERITY of injuries is, according to the laws (not common laws, but the laws of...) physics indicated that energy has to go somewhere.

Slower speeds means great reaction time and reduced carnage.

Pretty simple huh?

A ...

It's in the annodated, I just don't have a copy handy...

But the court of appeals have found it lawful for police to stop vehicle to check for proof of licence, permit and insurance.

It's fairly common and has been upheld, despite being challenged, by the courts.

As for showy cars...I didn't have an illegal tint, loud exhaust or any other mods ...

CoolChick, like I said you seem to have your convictions about this stuff, but your thought process isn't particularly mainstream and while I'M CERTAIN you'd just tell me the mainstream is composed of a bunch of unthinking, brainwashed cow types...we the mainstream are happy with the system.

Majority rules.

Not about to change...

Yes!!

CoolChick would take a very strict view or organ donor, prohitibiting me from giving my keyboard tot he local church.

Sorry CC, I'm JK (mostly).

Any law or act will have (as frozen over stated) it's own definitions...Black's Law Dictionary shouldn't even be referenced here and I think that's part of the problem...a lack of understanding ...
