Re: Define Abussive and Uncooperative

Like Bookm, I would never consent to a search of my vehicle. However, I would be extremely professional about it, asking the officer what his/her reasonable cause is to feel a search of my vehicle is necessary, but still refuse to consent. .

Now how to put this.

If I have an Act/law authorizing me to search I will do so, regardless of whether ...

They should not be allowed to pass on the transaction fees to us. That is the Cities operation cost. Why do we have to pay it?

Do NOT reach into anywhere, do not place your stuff out in the open. Police do not know what the movement in the car is for (documents or weapon)

Re: Hydroplane into ditch, careless charge

This why there should be a new section added to the HTA for severity of this type of thing.
- leave roadway $110 and 0 points
- leave roadway causing damage $220 and 3 points
- leave roadway causing injury $325 and 6 points

It is a waste of resources (police, fire, EMS) responding to incidents where drivers can not keep their vehicle on the road.

Re: Suspended Licence question

once the outstanding fine is paid, you have to go to MTO and have your licence reinstated. Take the receipt to MTO (I can not confirm) but would think after the reinstatement fee is paid that the licence is immediately activated.
