I thought police radio traffic is encrypted now, so it's not possible to listen in anymore?

I knew someone who worked at the Chrysler plant in Brampton pre-2008 as a floor sweeper/janitor. According to them the job was dubbed "hide and seek for a thousand a week", because you could basically disappear and do nothing as long as no one caught you (even then the consequences were tame)...

Alright, sounds like it will be a crapshoot either way. Thanks!

Does anyone know if this affects upgrading your license? I recently passed my M2X course but need to go to Drivetest to upgrade my license. Are there separate lines for tests, or is it one giant line for everything?

European food is regulated much more strongly than here. For example a lot of the high fructose syrups present in our food is straight up banned in the EU. Their portion sizes are also a lot smaller for pretty much everything across the board. On the energy side of things, people in Europe are...

Nope. I am not proposing you mouth off to a cop because it's not going to end well for you. But a judge will definitely care.

I guess we'll find out when this inevitably ends up before a judge. 🤷‍♂️

Yes, but you do not need a license to operate a vehicle on private land. You cannot be compelled to produce something you do not legally need.

True, but there is no requirement to even have a license if you aren't operating your vehicle on a highway (public road): Law Document English View

Such an obligation applies when in public or operating a motor vehicle on public roads. You are on your own land -- does the obligation to produce ID still exist? I'm going to say no. I am sure there are many judges who will agree -- this is a charter rights case waiting to happen. What sucks...

Oh I agree, it sucks. Practically I don't know how they will enforce this. So you're stunting on your own land on a bike with no insurance or plates or a license. Who does the ticket go to?

Personal responsibility is dead. IMO this law is targetting those large car meetups that happen at Timmies or in plazas. Most stunters on bikes already run without plates and the cops are powerless to stop them.

If it's any consolation the courts will likely toss this pretty quickly. As far as I know the only time HTA rules have been enforced on private property is with respect to accidents and reporting damages. Side note: this cop is smarmy AF. "This is an exciting time for us" -- try to conceal your...

The US doesn't want to open the Canadian border ahead of the Mexican one for political reasons. So until then, we wait...

I believe the black dodge ram belongs to 23 division, I've seen it out by the airport on Dixon quite frequently

I wonder when they'll rename Brantford and everything Brant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Brant and

Do we think it is a coincidence that they waited until Quebec had a doube-variant-India case before doing this? ?

Fair. Maybe there is some contingency plan going on behind the scenes with Biden, who knows. I just hope we aren't shooting ourselves in the foot just to make some point about not relying on the US. I think after this pandemic, the public perception towards pandemic response and public health...

Why is this a surprise to anyone? Ripping off Western R&D is China's bread and butter -- no matter the industry. For example, it's an open secret that Huawei's success is mostly off the back of pilfered Nortel IP. And why are we even negotiating vaccine deals with China? We are in this pandemic...

In Toronto they have been doing this for bikes already. I was riding through Yorkville one night this year and got caught in an enforcement blitz (no ticket though). Here it's $600 and it's a Toronto by-law ticket, no HTA/insurance ramifications.
