Who are these knucklehead beaurocrats that run the Winnipeg City Police?
Earlier this year there was a huge blow up in Manitoba about construction zone photo radar tickets being issued when no workers were actually present in the construction zone. Manitoba Provicinal Court judge Norm Sundstrom ruled that ...
Although the drivers had exceeded the 60 km/h limit, they were not going faster than the regular 80 km/h speed limit for that particular roadway. With no workers present, the regular speed limit should apply
This court ruling has not been challenged or over turned, and the crown chose not to appeal the decision. The government also decided that they would not refund anyone who paid the illegally issues tickets.
Yet last weekend, Larry Stefaniuk of Wise Up Winnipeg.com and Traffic Ticket Guru.com caught the Winnipeg Police Service breaking the law byusing photo enforcement in a construction zone when there were no workers present!
More evidence that not only does the government not follow their own rules, and are looking for cash grabs, but that they can break the law and nothing at all will happen to them.
Here's an idea. How about the Winnipeg police Service spend their time dealing with the gangs and violent activity in Winnipeg where there are real victims, and leave peaceful people alone.

You might want to check into Sundstrom's ruling. I think he's referring to situations where the "When workers are present" sign was posted.
... yes, it is still a cash grab, as is the new practice of changing the speed limit 400m in advance of the actual construction. In some cases it is possible to get a ticket for speeding through a construction zone without actually going through a construction zone.
" I think he's referring to situations where the "When workers are present" sign was posted."
I'll take a look at it, thanks. They've of course got around it by not having those signs, just having a blanket speed reduction.
"yes, it is still a cash grab,"
Yep. I don;t know why people can't see that this isn't about safety at all, it's about revenue, because they need that cash to bust pot growers and people that talk on their cell phones while driving...
If you are going to spout the law you may actually want to know the law! The decision has now been appealed successfully.
Yes anon, the law changed, the government made it easier for themselves to steal peoples money. Your point?
