A place I worked at had a parking lot about two feet lower than the lot to the south. Instead of putting in a retaining wall they paved the slope at 45 degrees, everything was asphalt and no problem from our side.
I know, from painful experience, that you can slide a car at least 100 feet during freezing rain, with the brakes fully applied, with snow tires mounted.
But it's OK to tie a mattress to the roof of your Civic with a piece of string and drive home on the 401. Perfectly legal if you drive 50 under the limit with flashers on. SFTruck driver slapped with charges after screwing a hitch to the floor of a cube van: OPP
Lambton OPP have laid charges against a commercial motor vehicle operator who improvised a trailer hitch by screwing a hitch into the floor of a cube van.london.ctvnews.ca
At least it's a string...see many...new 'students' driving with mattresses on their Civics with nothing but some hands from each door holding it up...

Criminal Code charge, huh? Anyone else and it likely would have been just Careless.Ha. The guy that crashed into the OPP cruiser with Douggie in it was an 18 yo male from Oshawa. They gave him a dangerous driving charge. Idiot.
OPP vehicle transporting Premier Ford involved in collision, driver charged
An OPP vehicle transporting Premier Doug Ford was involved in collision on Tuesday.
You're probably right. There may be enough video on the police car to have a good chance at the criminal conviction though. Video plus officer testifying what they saw (and that testimony is supported by video) will be a challenge for the defense. I don't know what the standard video package is for police cars these days nor if ALPR keeps the video or if protective services vehicles have the ALPR cameras.
That would be fantastic. "Nope, no video, all of our cameras were accidentally turned off at the time the incident". Hopefully the kid has a dashcam and police don't disappear the card if that was the case.

Situational awareness fail. Any chance they got the message?
If there wasn't a red light camera they'll do absolutely nothing, unfortunately. I submitted a video to Peel of a pickup passing in the bike lane, using right turn lanes to accelerate ahead of traffic at lights and doing 80+ in a school zone. Never heard a word back.Red light runner almost got me and the kids today. Green my way for ~two seconds. They didn't touch the brakes. I submitted pics and vid to cops. Hopefully they charge and it sticks. Time to stop driving. Bleeping Toyotas. Chinese "4k" dashcam got solid evidence.
No red light camera. Cop #1 approved report and passed it to traffic services to follow up with driver. If I hear nothing further, I will respond differently next time. Tbh, they were lucky I was in my car. In my wife's vehicle, the driver would have been a hood ornament. That would likely have ended their driving permanently. Big tall vehicles with big squishy tires (factory size) don't slow as quickly.
