I imagine this topic has been touched on before but this is my first personal experience with this matter so....

On my way to work, I'm driving north on the Hanlon Expressway just south of Clair Road (Guelph) - now this is a known speed trap area (hell, all of Guelph is) so I'm not doing more than 95 (80 zone)...

Any how, my eagle eyes spot cars pulled over on the shoulder waaay up ahead, figures wearing neon green high vis vests.. Fairly obvious to me what they are...

I pass the 3 cruisers with all officers out on the side of the road, one manning the tripod..

I glance in my rear view mirror and watch as one officer runs out into the left lane to point over a speeder....

the Hanlon is truck central and tons of drivers routinely do over 100 KM/h on this expressway.... Seriously, you need to run out into a live lane risking not only your own life but the lives of every other driver on that road to POINT OVER A SPEEDER?

How is this deemed an acceptable and safe practice? I'm not about to google up statistics but I imagine there's been more than one incident of police being struck/killed or accidents resulting in an officer standing in the middle of the road while vehicles are travelling at high rates of speed
 
yeah and a pathetic way to lose your life, imagine the phone call to the officer family if he gets run over. Your husband died he stood infront of a truck to stop it.
stupid and if they get run over the driver will get nailed for it.
 
And the person who ran him over would be locked up for dangerous driving, or trying in purpose to kill the officer.
 
Happened to me back in 2003. I had just passed my G2 test and was cruising home on 407 going 125kph on the left lane. The officer decided to walk out in front of me on the left lane pointing. I pulled over to the left next to his cruiser and got my ticket.

When he was done with me the next speeder decided to pull over on the right shoulder of the highway. Made me laugh for the rest of the drive home:lmao:
 
I've seen this before..I don't get it personally..I mean, they're creating quite a safety hazard. I nearly ran over a seatbelt check guy on a blind, downhill, right-hand cut-off. I called the duty sergeant at the station these guys worked out of and told him they were creating an usafe situation. They've never been there again. It was just stupid and unnecessary.

There was one year they had a seatbelt check on the Bloor Northbound onramp to the DVP where it winds down to the highway. The checkpoint was just past the first blind corner and cars were skidding to a halt for it. Stupid placement and thankfully, I haven't seen it for years.
 
when the dumbass cop ran in front of me to pull me over he tells me how dangerous bike are and how he'd never get on one, blah blah blah...then I tell him how dangerous it is to come running out in live traffic, and he wasn't even wearing the vest. All he could say is its part of the job...ok there you sneaky little ****s.

Sorry about the ticket but gotta agree, I'd be chuckling under the helmet the rest of the way home too.
Gotta appreciate a driver that has the ability to think ahead that fast...although if he was in the fast lane then the farther and more gracefully he made his way over to the right, would make it easier for the cop to pull out and merge over behind him. But if the guy made his way to the right too fast (best scenario for cop to not be able to get over to him) then the cop might charge him with careless or something also.

not really. about 3 years ago there was a women who ran down one of these superhero(killing him) and the grand jury sided with her. because anybody who step out in the path of a speeding car is trying to commit suiside. so she walked.
hip hip hurry.
