The problem is, none of the officers charged so far seems to have been convicted, hmmm, co-incidence? Or is it that they are giving the appearance of the law being applied equally to everyone without the officers ultimately facing the same consequences everyone else is.
There were already plenty of laws on the books to deal with the offences covered by sec. 172 of the HTA, this new section was completely unnecessary, the only difference is this section with it's $10,000 penalties allows for a massive tax grab by Premier McSquinty and his goon OPP chief, Benito Fantino.

All I can say is what the H is going on. What OPP officier in his right mind would actually charge an Intelligence Detective out of HQ. His a$s will be grass. There has to be more to this than meets the eye.
She must have PO'd somebody to get charged, Ray. I'm always on the 401 and quite often OPP's go by me in cruisers and unmarked way above 100 kph. Makes me jealous!!
I hear you Earl, Jr. worked with the OPP in his summer job as Park Warden and the boys even took care of him. What was she doing on the 403 if she's out of HQ Orillia?
Standing rule in a traffic stop, if someone gives you attitude, throw the book at them, if they are polite and courteous give them a break, I got this from the horse's mouth.
It is plain old speeding and that is exactly what the existing Sec. 128 was designed to cover. As I said before, the new "street racing" legislation has absolutely nothing to do with racing or safety for that matter, what is different is that it provides for huge fines to be levied, therefore it is just a giant tax grab.

.....plus a giant legal fees grab and giant insurance grab for the rest of your life.
I don't know if anyone has ever had the "pleasure" of speaking with our Provincial Police Chief but I have.....one of the most self righteous and self serving individuals I have ever encountered. No wonder he and Comrade Miller never got along, there is no room big enough to accomodate those two egos!
