Tahoes: unlike the 150k service length on crwn vic, impala, chg.....Tahoe is supposed to be going to get 200-250k before it cost effective replacement costs.....but that is yet to be seen
Tahoe offers lots of room for officers gear, general equipment in the car, and can be used by officers big and small. Tahoe is lowered 6 inches from a typical ...

Wholly questions batman!! :) going to group some together.

Hey bear random question does each detachment have some sort of budget?So can you guys only afford X overtime etc.
I don't know the whole budget thing. However each detachment has an allotted expense for the year for the detachment itself (building, chairs, desks etc..) No budget on OT ...

My car is a 2009 vw, the plate lights are fully functioning and the plates are clean. I just washed the car 2 days before the incident.

Couldn't police just lite their lights? I would pull over immediately if I see those behind me, then the officers would have more than enough time to check my plates after I stopped my car.

Our safety is first ...

They will go to court and the officers will be there, if the officer is in court he is not on the road.

Whether I am on the road or in court I still get paid, does not matter to me.
Rather nice to be in court most days....winter time is warmer in the court, summer is cooler in the court, and I don't get assigned anything else on my task list, b ...

Don't forget, I ride MC (even just at work), maybe that is why I understand the "two-wheelers", at least the majority of them

On a single lane hwy, I can understand your post and moving back in. On a multilane and the officer hits the lights behind the group, it is for the group, if rear slows and pulls over, the officer moves up stops the next etc....they are all required to stop. If the officer wanted the 2nd or lead vehicle, they would pull in behind that one on the ...

A driver is NOT responsible if they are blowing a WARN!

That could go either way....I don't know.

If it still is smooth with the surface, can not forsee a problem...Not like it is a mohawk thing where should you fall off and slide, the hawk part could get caught in a road drain and snap your neck....but by then you are already "up the creek"

we had 11 working yesterday......think at one point we had 8 on the 401 and the other 3 on hwy 40....that is a normal thursday for # of units working

Just an FYI, Effective MAY 01, 2009

A driver that registers a WARN on an Approved Screening Device will have their licence suspended for:
1st offence = 3 days
2nd offence = 7 days
3rd offence = 30 days.

The licence is returned to the MTO and the driver MUST go to the MTO to be reinstated.

Yes, the lidar specifically tells the operator it is being jammed. (ie. on target, pull trigger, gets jammed, lidar tells operator it is being jammed, therefore operator also knows which vehicle has the jammer)

I do not see the Marksman being pulled out of use for a few more years, until there is a budget for replacement. My office has 1 Marksman ...

HSD....we do not add any more cars on for the weekends in this area, that would not be fiscally responsible.

That would be new for a government office. Fiscal responsibility=military intelligence=Weapons of mass destruction=

I know it sounds weird, but we just can't call in workers on OT just b/c it is a long weekend.

kind of a catch 22.....did the officer write down the plate? too many variables. Did the officer comes up beside, has lights on and points you to the shoulder, that would be a different story and more than likely has recorded your plate on the dash pad. Did the officer get out of the cruiser and try to wave the MC back to the pack?

Prior to riding ...

Da Bear was at in-laws filling his face!!

If I get this correctly you are a QC licence holder and have a MV plated Ontario. The ownership has a driver's licence # associated to you as you previously lived in Ontario and the officer used the Ontario #.

Every person who lives in Ontario OR has lived in Ontario OR has been convicted in Ontario will have their own personal driver's licence ...
