I work for CBSA now. I'm right up there with ya on danger. Maybe not as much as our American counterpart watching the Mexican border. However I have no freedom to talk about those details. http://www.cbsa.gc.ca/ I am trying to offer constructive critisism, thats all. And maybe perhaps I'm beeing too negative and seeming like I am attacking your integritty as a whole. As for the comment of they saw me first, they were ahead of me. It's in my original story. I did forget to mention the police vehicle was parked at the time. So please Will you just put the danger in the crapper for now, I'm talki...

Wish I ran into more considerate officers myself. Read my last big post. I would have less of a chip on my shoulder. The only sense I could make that the officer stopped my cab was because I was easier to catch up to. In the end, I got two ticket, lost my fares and after pleading guilty with an explanation I showed the JP my weekly earnings, wich in two weeks were less than the two tickets I received and she promptly dropped them both times, (Lean weeks) but it was kept on my driving record. She also commented, "What are we going to do with you?" To wich I replied, can you have the ...

I would have no complaints if all police acted like that. It's the way policing is meant to be.

I like the part that the driver was disshonest and the passenger told the truth. The best part is that when you gave them a break, you told the occupants of exactly why you are giving them a break, because one of them told you the truth. Your showing an example to them. It shows allot of intelligence and teaches the occupants of that vehicle a valuable lesson.

How about a cab driver who gets pulled over twice for doing 10 and 15 over while heading to an airport for the days one and only fare in a poor town while somehow missing his rival cab driver roaring through a residential at probably over 130 (Just judging by eye). The only reason he knew we had fares was because this cab driver had a radio to tune into our home base. How the hell did they miss him twice The third time they missed him again I got away from a speeding ticket because after I told those officers that the dangerous driving cab that is scooping my fares and leaving me with no money...

I understand, lots of people are opportunistic and if some officers are receptive to an explanation from a motorist. I am sure then that one can become bitter in dissapointement. Look at the example of the crying little girl, she knowns she's guilty as sin but she's saying she's attending police foundations and absolutely cannot get a ticket as it would ruin her career. Of course she's coming home from a frat party, had slightly been drinking and not attending police foundations at all. "Sorry deary, I smell that booze on your breath and your going 40kph's over and not even wearing a seat...

Of course, observation are funny things, one side perceiving their side as a shining force for good, the other well more or less like Sin City. You have to be a well trained mind to seperate fact from fiction. Sorry to say this but the fact is, what you say about yourself might not be true for the others. And you know what? I would encourage you to keep up the good work officer. To be an example for others, even if others thinks it's total bs. Do they give medals for beeing honorable? They probably should. Plus you've been very patient and I appreciate that. Me, I can't change my mind on it. S...

Maybe in the absence of knowledge, I over estimated my numbers and thats why I am asking these questions. Here I am standing corected. However, having admintted this, there is an awful lot of people who would swear they have been financially victimized by roadside police. And thats not immaginary which might equal more than the previously estimated 0.05% of officers who coudn't give a darn when they hand out tickets. Whatever the problem is, this is the impass. Given the above statement is true, unless there is annother as of yet unidentified problem, then that means that if I exagerate my num...

Well, yeah, it does seem paranoid to be doing this considering such tiny numbers of potential officers involved. However and I am just immagining this, I think the damage just might be a little larger than these numbers would suggest. I was just wondering, at the precinct, do you have those officers who tend to brag about giving out large amounts of tickets in one night? 40-50-60 or more? This comparing to the average what, 20 or so? I would tend to think those would be the sort of officers who would ticket without even giving a second thaught to the actual situation and it's that behaviour th...

Even if it's only a very small fraction of a percent, a police officer who abuses his/her powers (I don't care if there is a reason or just for kicks) however is a huge public nuissance and flies in the face of why we pay taxes to them. To serve and protect us. A fraction of a percent out of 60 000 is still too much. It's nearly impossible to prove wrongdoing in a court. As the courts are so gueared for police officers to win The Financial stresses that can be imposed is hard to recover. For ex. Time off work for court, what if it's in annother province, getting a lawyer, after that's cleared ...

About Radar, I thaught there was a law for the police to follow that a car cannot be searched unless they see something. It would be your own stupidity to leave something out in the open. If an officer ever suspects something and asks to look into your car, tell them, no officer, I do not give you permission to search my car. So, I'm not gonna say any thing else about it. It's against the law it's against the law. Now I did find a way to track your speed Via a Satalite. There is a new GPS autotracking device that truckers are using now that from what I am hearing, might protect the driver. A f...

A one frame a second Low res camera to record the speedometer? Thats GREAT? It should be all I need. I can probably find something compact enough to do the job. 1inchX1X1, sure thing. I'll let you know if that works out.

There are tools out there that say they can detect radar or lidars. I don't know if it has to actually hit your car or not to be detected. Then you can record the time. At least you might be able to date and time stamp. So far, I figure that with a swivel mount, you might be able to record evidence of whats infront of your car or even in back. Say identifying wether your going through a red light or not. Maybe your speeding because of an unreasonable tailgater who refuses to pass you even thaught there is a second open lane available. Some 18wheelers like to do that. Evidence in an accident to...

You know I get a little upset when people are trying to make rash judgements on just a series of words that are typed up. The question I am asking is would a dash mounted camera and a way to record in real time your speedometer readings while you drive be considered as evidence in a court. And I think I know the answer now, if the camera captures it? (like running a red light when you didn't) sure, about the speedometer, well that I don't get yet. I am also saying it's a good insurance tool, for car accidents? I also have my camera hooked up to my Iphone to stream it live at the push of a butt...

Yes, I do find some police officers are crooked, but I know allot of straight ones too. I find them especially ignorant on weekends and especially while your driving cross country hundreds of km's away from where you live cause thats when they have a good idea that it would be terribly costly to contest it. In the United states, most police vehicles are mounted with dashboard camera's, if you look it up on youtube, these cameras record the good, and also the bad on behalf of the officer as well. Lol, there is one where his own vehicle was left on neutral while giving annother driver a ticket. ...
