Cops cracking down?, penalties increased!

[Hollywood]

It does not seem that the cops are cracking down, it's the government that is forcing them just like the whole quota thing. I just heard on the news that the Alberta government has decided this "Albertan's have been getting off too easy". They are increasing traffic violations fines drastically!

I fucking hate the Canadian government, it's all about the money to them, it's turning into a business more than a democracy. All beacuse they do not know how to spend the money properly in the first place.

I don't know too much of the details but add what you know. Talk amoungst yourselves....Discuss....Discuss....Hehehehe.

Well shit, I just renewed my registration on Friday and it costs $68.49 per year now. Wasn't it just over $50 last year?

[rage2]

You wanna talk about abusing fines for money... this was in Car and Driver this month :

http://www.newromesucks.com

60 residents, 14 cops, $400,000us in tickets a year, $60k lost per year mysteriously to the cops, and the whole police department + village council is one big family. Their city hall is inside a double wide trailer

That my friend is abuse. I hope it's an April Fool's joke hehe.

[Lo)2enz0]

politics are full of it. how many of them accually drive the speed limit without going 10km/h over or more. I hate politics.

Maybe it's because they have been treated like shit by the Canadians and British governments during the 19th and 20th centuries, forced to live in residential schools where they were raped and beaten, and exploited as an entire race through a series of policies of assimilation...

You got one?!?!

For which car?

I fucking hate quotas so badly!!!

Last summer I got a ticket for going 10 over. I asked for some proof, or anything to say I was speeding, and he told me he didn't have any. He said he was just trying to make his quota. When he came back to my car, he said that if I contested it, he wouldn't show up to court.
It was the last night I had my car before it got parked for winter, and I was taking one last drive. No one else on the road, no witnesses to back me up or anything.
Court date is in June.

Fucking prick.

Meah, the cops may be cracking down, but the crown prosecutor doesn't seem to give a $%*!.

Me: "Hi, I was just looking at getting the..."
<interupted>
CP: "can you pay the fine today?"

Me: "yes"

CP: "Okay, pay the fine, no demerits"

Me: "Um...Thanks "

[MerfBall]

So what if they increase fines? If your not doing anything wrong it should be oblivious to you. Obviously if you are speeding and still speeding even after a ticket than the government is right in saying "Albertans are getting off too easy". If it was a $500 fine for speeding how many of you would speed?

I do think the quotas are silly, but then if there were no quotas I'm sure cops wouldn't be out there writing tickets. I'm pretty sure cops didn't want to become cops to write tickets, if that were the case I'm guessing they would have chosen a less dangerous meter maid position.

The same thing happened to me before. He was really nice about it. He told me to go to court for it and he will be busy that day. I went to court and he never showed. What a super nice guy.

It's way to easy to speed sometimes. You say what you say now until your personally driving and maybe talking on the cell phone or singing to the radio then suddenly a cop waives you over for doing 11 over which hypothetical we will say it would become 150 bucks...Or if your on deerfoot and you normally don't speed but you accelerate to change lanes, then get a photo radar ticket for 150 bucks...You would be pissed!

And don't say you would'nt!
