Re: Proposed Graduated License Changes

Funny, but I learned the physics of rear wheel drive from Gran Turismo, whoooohoooo Playstation. Anywho, everything I learned in that game as far as car control goes, winning races is a byproduct, works in real life.

Re: Stopping two cars

Another "angle".........If you, the officer, can't get a reading off the plate of a vehicle then you are told to aim at the headlight. Would an officer try to get the second vehicle with only the headlight, drivers side, and mistakenly sample the first car?

Re: quick question

Show them a whack of paperwork and tell them it's evidence, it might help the plea bargain....

Cute...add to that...bring in couple highschool binders from the old days, don't even open them (as it's just the old geography and art class notes anyway) :lol:

Re: Stopping two cars

A lidar doesnt send a constant beam, but a series of pulses. Theres a microprocessor inside the lidar which tries to make sense of all signals received from all those pulses. Its going to try to get an average speed and throw out what could be noise. What if it locks onto car1s speed and thinks car2s speed is noise?

The lidar sends out more than ...

Re: Stopping two cars

OK try this one: The ideallogy of the designer is that the plate is the target. Ideally it is the first thing hit, being at the front of the car. What happens when the plate is not the first thing to be hit??????????? That info is locked up in the designers head and won't be released due to the fact that it can be used by the other companies.

Re: Stopping two cars

You can still see that it is difficult to target the plate..... And like you said you can't see the beam even under alignment checks. The officer still does not know "exactly" where the beam is.......at a distance of 500 meters 1 degree is a lot, even 0.5 degrees of misalignment will cause this situation.

Re: Stopping two cars

Good shots and they explain a lot. As much as they are not "perfect" they do demonstrate the problems facing officers. The third one's the best.....good job.

Re: Late seventies

Might have explaining to your own boss if you wrote 90% of your tickets in another police area and not your own where you are supposed to be patrolling.

:D :D :D

That reminds me. I was on my way home one morning, used to get done at 4:00am. Cruize control on 125 or so, not sure due to the uncalibrated speedo 8) , and a Peel officer passed me ...

Absolutely. Still police officers

Re: Zero Tolerance for 1st 5 years of driving...

Bel: I like that one.

So we make it simple, if you are under 19 no drinky. Although, I still don't agree with age being a defining legal requirement. Numbers mean jack because we all know the boys at work who care about nothing but themselves. Not really the most mature people on the planet but they help to choose your leaders.......

Re: Late seventies

Bear will know for certain, but I think if he's in pursuit he can continue the pursuit into another jurisdiction. Cops are cops throughout the Province. Even when off-duty they are still on-duty, really.


Exactly Lawmen.

A pursuit into a another jurisdiction is no problem, only is radio issue where the area that it enters is now in control of ...
