Whatever the arguments maybe in principle, the reality is that legal action is expensive. The city has a whole department of lawyers on staff. You will have to pay for your lawyer for each minute. And the bills will soon add up to hundreds of thousands because this is not a simple case. There will be appealed all the way up the higher courts. You can represent yourself but how many days can you take off from work? And i dont' believe you can represent yourself in higher courts. Toronto city council has shown themselves to be tenacious when it comes to legal battles. Hell, they are taking the province all the way up to the supreme court so they wont give up easily. Again it comes down to $$$. By the time you are done, assuming you win, you could have use all that wasted money to buy a Porsche with an OEM lould exhaust. Going to court battles for matter of principle is a luxury for billionaires.

You can buy the Porsche with an OEM exhaust but you will still get a ticket if you rev it or hoon about downtown. They can charge you with all kinds of things. I think one of them is called “demonstration of speed”, or basically showboating. I often blast through the first couple of gears while staying under the limit, but now I’ll get a ticket for it lol

Who will inforce this?
All Toronto cops are parking in construction sites with their lights flashing. Officers are standing about chatting with workies. Gotta wonder how they can cry for more staff when most are wasting their days away. Oh well, at least they're not running the mileage up on the cruisers. |

What a waste of money no matter who is paying for it. It always astonishes me as to why they don't put a cop in to direct traffic at accident scenes, instead they just leave motorists to find their way around and cause havoc to have people merging into one lane. just idiotic.

You know, I had questioned this a bit ago.. How come the officers in construction zones are armed if they are off duty? I was under the impression an off duty officer cannot be armed.

No idea. It’s written right into some contracts they need to be present. Could be they can be armed in uniform. Or, have to be armed in uniform. I wouldn’t doubt it these days. Things have likely changed. |
