I caught a lucky break a few years back. I was riding with a group, 3 of us up front went for a ceremonial romp past the site where we lost a friend the year before. OPP got us… but by the time they turned around the other 6 bikes were back in formation with us. They didn’t know which bikes were running a bit fast… we got a good talking to then sent on our way.

Parking enforcement officers make $40/hr. There were 17 of them on the Sunshine list from Toronto this year. Each officer likely costs the city $200k+year with benefits, vehicle support and overhead costs.Disclaimer, I may have to do more research as I may be a little drunk, but....
Met up with an old buddy who is a parking enforcement officer. He was telling me that they get a yearly list of who wrote how many tickets.
He himself wrote out just over $1m while the top guy wrote $3.2m.
If true, Toronto is getting their money's worth.
As of May 18, 2024, the average hourly pay for a Parking Enforcement in Ontario is $17.69 an hour.
Do I believe him, or maybe too much beer led to embellishment?
In 2021, the City of Toronto issued 1,479,644 parking violation notices.
Based on the volume of tickets issued in 2023, the city could see an additional $62 million in revenue as a result of the increased fines, though staff expect that actual revenue would be somewhere between $40 and $50 million.

There is a lot of stupidity around parking tickets and delivery services. I know a driver for a delivery service that would get many tickets a day as corporate policy was stop at closest location and ignore signs. Drop the tickets off at the office. Every week someone from the office goes to the wicket with five or six figures of parking tickets. They make the city a settlement offer of four figures and city accepts. Apparently delivery company threatened to take their thousands of tickets to court otherwise which would bung up the system completely. It's all a game.Disclaimer, I may have to do more research as I may be a little drunk, but....

I defiantly think @Mad Mike has the true cost for Toronto. Even on the sunshine list, the income from the tickets would more than cover expenses.
Many municipalities are subbing out their parking bylaw enforcement look for similar in the near future.

Is there literally ANYTHING that can keep criminals behind bars these days? Canada's 6th most wanted man. Highly dangerous, committing crimes in multiple cities, being observed in another criminal investigation, running from police.. all to be let back out within a few hours? Surprised police even waste the ink in their pens.

It's not the first time that we've heard about this. The story came out about it almost immediately after the incident. Took 2 years to be acted upon.‘You have family members who have helped this go away’: Senior Toronto police officer accused of interfering with investigation of nephew’s crash.

I don't know that deportation should be a consideration, when sentencing. The point of terms for migrants to remain in Canada is based on them not committing a crime that would warrant a sentence of a certain length, because that is an indication that they aren't the sort of person we want here. Basing a sentence on that criteria circumvents the very logic behind the Federal guidelines.Another court failure. Hit and run causing death. Driver did everything she could to cover up the crime and judge said her only crime was failing to stop and she felt bad about it so he gave her a 12 month conditional sentence and two year driving ban. Absolutely appalling. At the very least, she has proven to have no moral character and should be prohibited from ever having a license as she will run again without a doubt.
