SENSE BC

Everything wrong with government in this story. $85k in fines paid so far by the City of Toronto (to a system with a history of scams), only 20% collected from employees (more useless work on the tax payer dime), and the kicker.... tickets are going to emergency vehicles of course.

"But that’s the problem with the MOMS Act, and it’s a huge abuse of arbitrary power. Last month, if a police officer in Ontario pulled over a driver and charged them with stunting, that officer would also impound the driver’s car and suspend the driver’s licence, each for a week. All costs of towing and impounding and reinstatement were borne by the driver, whether later found guilty or innocent. That was a lot of ammunition for the officer beside the road."

A journalist, who believes her readers are motorists, quotes Vision Zero, calls motor vehicles “killing machines” and advocates for Photo Radar. It’s like a remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

News Flash. Anyone who believes in the correct setting of speed limits, and in rejecting defacto convictions and photo surveillance, is part of BC's "fringe political persuasions".
"For the past four years, Research Co. and Glacier Media have gauged the views of British Columbians on automated speed enforcement. The concept entails relying on cameras or sensors to pinpoint when a vehicle is speeding and issuing tickets to the vehicle’s owner. British Columbians of fringe political persuasions can be exceedingly vocal in their opposition to this concept. This stance, however, is not shared by most of the province’s residents."
