    One more thing , the stop sign comment from FishnNAutographs stating the HTA doesn't specify what kind of stop? I assume you are refering to a "rolling stop" where you don't actually stop. I know someone who had gotten a ticket for doing that so to me that also shows that the police recognize a "rolling stop" as a dangerous and ticketable offense. Even though its legal doesn't make it right.

    Thats my opinion and probably not even worth 2cents.

     

    Tony.

     

    i was kidding, we have to stop

    "I believe he should be accountable and be punished the same as all of us, if something serious had happened. Obviously he can't be charged with dangerous driving because the Law permits him to do so in the "line of his duties" .

     

     

    yes he would be if something serious had happened, and it was his fault on top of that, he would be charged under the Police Services Act and would probably lose a rank and up to as much as 150 hours of pay all of his vacation, not including his sick time......and in some cases where a life was lost in a collision there have been times were the officer had been so grief striken and guilty and committed suicide

    Okay i am sure there are probably some OPP in here somewhere..

     

    I have a question .

     

    Last night i was heading down st andrews towards tim hortons. Now when you get to the end of st andrews st which by the way at the end sits at the bottom of the hill that then takes you onto Highway 6. Which may i add is a very busy road. This section of the road if you take a left curves to the right as you head over the lift bridge.

     

    Now last night it was foggy as hell in town absolutley pouring down with rain and i mean pouring with rain. You could hardly see a thing so as i pull out to take a right turn A cop comes flying around the bend off of main over takes other cars on the other side of the road and procceds to tear ass over taking other vheicles on a curved road over a lift bridge with no lights on or sirens.

     

    My question is

     

    Is this even legal>?

     

    I could not beleive what my eyes saw last night and i was amazed he never killed anyone by causing a head on collision.....Seriously this cop was driving like an absolute lunatic. With out any emergency lights or sirens ON to warn other drivers. And this was also in a 40KM Zone.

    I was mad as hell after seeing this.

     

    To answer your question is this legal?

     

    Yes it is. The Highway Traffic Act allows us to drive like that in the course of our duties. However, keep in mind that in some situations driving fast w/o lights and sirens is necessary. Nothing tells a bad guy to run faster when he hears sirens in the distance. What the HTA does say is that we have to stop at all stop signs and red lights with lights on. It doesn't say what kind of stop though hehe :whistling:

     

    As well, always remember that no one who drives in the GTA pays attention to whats behind them and they very rarely hear sirens. I've gone to emergency calls and was stuck behind a driver with blinders for 4-5kms with lights and the most annoying siren i had and they still wouldn't move. :wallbash:

     

    I can't vouch for the copper that was driving like that, but there may or may not have been a reason.

     

    The job's tough and everyone is a critic until they need help and then they are our best friends

    Not much wildlife other than rabbits and skunks and the common birds like cardinals, jays near my old place, but since i've moved, i haven't really seen anything yet, but I live near a conservation area so i'm hoping something comes along. Heck, i see more wildlife in Markham than I do here in Kitchener.

     

    Like London, KW has released falcons in out area, but I haven't seen any yet...

     

    Hey where's muskiestudd...he'd sure have stories out in Sutton

    So......haven't been fly fishing in a while...probably since last year, but I wanted to start getting ready for the spring...so I started tying flies and when I went to grab my fly boxes I noticed one was missing...well, the box had probaby 50+ streamers - buggers, egg sucking leach and other minnow patterns!!!

     

    All that work gone! Oh well! :wallbash:

    well, most of the good trout spots on the grand are protected so you'll have to make your lures barbless. Grab lots of spinners and you're set. As for gear, get a medium action to medium-light action and a spinning reel and you're set. I'd go with 4-6 pound test.....

     

    Oh, be careful it's quite rocky where the trout play on the grand!
