Ontario Highway Traffic Act

I also believe that a change that comes from the inside usually works better.

Maybe the other officers denounced them but we aren't hearing about it. Then again maybe I'm being too optimistic as well. Everyone's had bad apples where they work, as Bear said. One well-publicized, very embarassing incident for my company resulted in plenty of my co ...

Common sense isin't as common as it used to be.

I'm starting to become convinced that evolution is actually moving in reverse.

Hopefully they've tested the lidar units to ensure that they won't blind a driver who's being clocked.

Officer: "Why didn't you stop when I waved you over?"
Driver: "I was driving along and suddenly I couldn't see!!"

:shock:

The hand-held laser pointers, the type that've been directed at aircraft, can do a lot of damage. Last winter we were ...

Close friend of mine used to be an Ottawa cop. Responds to a single-vehicle crash on St. Laurent Boulevard, car's planted into a traffic light and knocked it down. Dry road, good visibility, witnesses say the guy just suddenly dove off the road and nailed the pole.

Turns out the driver was... um... engaged in the act of "pleasuring ...

This is the MOVE LEFT


Are they teaching the "right-side" approach at the OPC now? I noticed the officer did that in the video.

People who don't know how to respond to emergency vehicles should not have a driver's licence. It's not rocket science. Little story: A few weeks ago I was northbound on Victoria Park Avenue in Toronto, trying to turn ...

You know, maybe they should ban parents from buying souped-up cars for their kids. Maybe they should hold parents accountable when they don't take the keys away from their kids when they drive like Mulcahy's son. Reasonable? Not really, but to a certain extent that'd make more sense than these new laws.

Our local Police Inspector was going on about how great these new laws will be. I went to school with this inspector. At just 17 years old, he cruised the streets in an all black, big-block Nova with a modified 396cu.in. engine (a real street-sweeper!) and no graduated licensing of course.


:roll:

He obviously "forgot where he came from." One ...

I have an image......balls.......sling.........

I think the acronym BOHICA also applies.

Someone needs to challenge this in the Supreme Court of Canada.

Got that right. The sooner, the better.

However, I have sat on a lawnchair, under a bridge, between the steel guardrails, while using lidar during intercept programs.

That was you? Next time I'll wave.

It was more of a warning to show respect rather than antagonize someone you want to be your ally.

Always good advice.

I work as a Paramedic, thus spending many hours driving around town. I can tell you that drivers in their 30s, 40s, and 50s are quite problematic. They often do not wear their seatbelts, are uncooperative, lie about the event, which is obvious as their injuries are inconsistent with their stories. They are also, according to the latest statistics ...

I feel terrible for Mr. Mulcahy, having lost his child. It is an unimaginable grief for someone to bury a son or daughter. Mr. Mulcahy turned to the government and said "if the government had only banned drivers who do this stuff, he'd be alive." Of course we've now become known as "Bantario" so McGuinty was all over it.

Mulcahy was horrified at ...

The vagueness is such that it allows virtually anything you do while driving to be possibly considered an act of stunt driving or street racing. The type of irrevocable and unappealable consequences that can be imposed upon anyone, guilty or not, on the spot, is not justified in a free society.

So if the courts say one thing and the police say ...

A term of imprisonment can be attached to a strict liability offence. The US offfences are strict liability with attached prison time, while in Canada speeding is an absolute liability offence where a term of imprisonment attached to the offence violates s. 7 of the Charter.


My point was that US states are applying penalties, even some fairly ...

Apparantly there are thousands of them yet they refuse to post them. I wonder why...


Oh, I don't know, seizing someone's lawfully-owned property without recourse or appeal available as de-facto intended punishment is grossly unconstitutional (among other things)? Apparently violating your rights is okay if you exceed the posted speed limit in ...
