Speed trap:
York LE around Denison & Esna Park last 3 wks.

Today, 4 squard cars hung out at that corner, guess no MPs to bust.

I was clocked just as passing a 18 wheeler. Told uniform I'm meeting client around the corner and got eager. May be it was the warmer temperature, may be from uniform's initial attitude or that I may get few points. I was starting to get annoyed.

As I was waiting for the usual background check, started to take note of the 4 uniforms. One short Asian still pimples, a black fellow, while the other two white dudes, blonde & young boldy, I'm sure Leah_MPA would date in a heart beat. As my mind wanders, what if I was Leah in Pool PJ and puffy slippers, would blonde uniform let me off without a ticket?

So if you're in the area, be aware.
 
Now that a lot of people have text messaging and wireless internet access with their cell phone do you guys think it would be a good idea to start a website with realtime information on speed traps throughout Toronto????

Kinda like this: http://www.torontogasprices.com/

Only problem is the cops could flood the site with wrong info but I may have a way to prevent that :cool:

Why bother, you can call the Police Department and they will TELL you where they are going to set up speed traps today.

That way, it's not considered entrapment.
 
I've noticed a big increase in the number of speed traps in the east end lately. Today there was a speed trap set up in a residential driveway (??) as I drove down Coxwell near Gerrard, another on the Lakeshore just east of the Gardiner and another on Lower Sherbourne. A few days ago there was a speed trap set up in the construction zone on Gerrard just east of Coxwell. Is this happening out in suburbia as well? It seems like there is some kind of safety blitz now that we've got dry roads and people are starting to drive their cars at realistic speeds. Anybody else noticing this?

It happens every year around this time - only lasts for a couple of weeks.

Ah man, you should have told the guy that you were trying to pass the 18 wheeler quickly because you felt it was unsafe to stay beside it after seeing a car get atomized by a truck tire all those years ago when it was more common. Or even say the truck edged into your lane and you decided to get out of the way immediately. When confronted with an explanation that involves a higher standard of safety, even if he tickets you the judge will throw it out.

I agree 100%. You could have a good case here. Goodtime... Go to court. Say you were passing the truck. At the very least you can plead guilty with an excuse. JP may void or reduce. If all they do is reduce at least you may save your points.

Take away the deterrent effect of speed traps to that we can have more speeding idiots in the city.

More speeding idiots???
If anything people drive way too slow in Toronto, I've never seen so many turtles around here. :rolleyes:

Remember the cab driver that got killed?

Here's a challenge for you: outline one situation where speeding causes an accident. Technically it's not possible because all accidents are the product of reckless use of speed as the speed in itself doesn't cause the accident. It's speeding outside the situation that does it. Any race car driver could tell you that. If you think about it, police should focus more on reckless driving than ticketing arbitrarily for speed because those are the assholes killing people (granted some of these jackasses also speed but most speeders are not reckless). If you want a deterrant, try pulling over people who actually have no clue how to drive. Or better yet, how about we make getting a license an actual challenge in the first place? Or even make it a challenge to maintain it? If everyone was properly trained to drive then we all could speed around Toronto doing 70km/h or more in most places and have a negligible collision rate.
 
I'm suggesting people should speed in neighborhoods or around school. I for one are pissed when people speed when there are kids on the street. Think the sceen in The Desperate Housewives with one of the wife chase after speeding car.

What I'm against is the use of resource? With the many unsolved shooting in T.O. And in York, several case of attempted abducting of young kids. Just yesterday, an attempt was made outside of a school of a 12 yr old.

In terms of traffic violations, speed in some area are set too low. 40 or 50 km/h in industial or low traffic area with good roads, ideal road conditions where 60 km/h are more appropiate.

Whenever people see these traps, they slam on their brakes and gawk. The visual distraction are more prone for accidents. Two wks ago, a cruiser stopped on lane 3 of Yonge & Steeles in rush hour traffic. What happens, traffic was a standstill as people slow to watch.

Traffic division should go after the excessive speeder in & around school & neighborhoods. The erractic drivers that weave in/out lanes, the shoulder hogs/hov violators, red-light runners, and cellphone yakkers.

He was killed by Street-racers going over 140 km/h in 50 zone. Speed traps are rarely effective again street racing. Source: CBC Newsworld documentary & Insuracne bureau of Canada stats.

I'm against inappropiate speed limit too low for low traffic zones where LE go for easy tax grab to please their Lt.

There were sites with Photo radar sightings when they were in use.

Even AM640 & 1010 reported their 411. Those GMC Safaris.

Thanks for the info. ck & TLM, I won't need it.

York uniform played nice. No points and reduced fine. He may have noticed the stack of Terb MP review printout on the passenger seat. Or was it the MPA photos?:D The young baldy shave uniform face is familiar, outside MP or SC?

If the ticket was for more I would contest it, likely bump into old acquintances at old cityhall. Few parking tickets in the past. Too busy with work, so can't afford the time.

:eek: Cute cop in uniform???!!! And a blondie too???!!! Where, where??? Denison and Esna Park? Where's that? Hmmmmm..... I think I'm gonna go rollerblading there with my skimpy little tube top, and short little jean shorts, and "accidently" bump into their squad cars. Yeah.... that should guarantee me a hot date........... IN FRIGGIN' COURT!!!!!!!!

All kidding aside.... Honestly, lately, whenever a squad car passes by, I find myself peeping inside to see if there's a cute LE guy inside. This is all my friend's fault. Ever since she told me about that "candle thing" that we did at her house (which I don't recall at all) I find myself looking at LE whenever I pass by one, wondering if he could be "THE ONE". Pretty pathetic huh? I'm suppose to hate them, not feel attracted to them!!!!! Anyways, all my whacker friends are pushing me to message that hicktown LE guy. I think they're all curious to find out what kind of guy that "candle thing" bought me. Honestly, I'm curious too. Watch.... probably if he turns out to be really cute.... all the red, pink, and green candles will go flying off all the store's shelves. Hmmmmm...... maybe I'll message him tomorrow. I'll let you guys know how it goes. Things that sound too good to be true.... usually is..... Probably he's 5000 pounds with a huge potbelly from eating too many donuts. And have no teeth and two black swollen eyes from getting into too many fist-fights with criminals. Well..... I guess it won't hurt to check him out. I've got nothing to lose. I have nothing to do anyways. Hey!!!... It's Easter!!!
