That sounds like a really screwed up system, do the paralegals know you're not Albertan? Try calling up the RCMP in Alberta and see what they tell you, you're not the first non-Albertan to get a ticket. I have a hard time believing you'd have to waste your time and the courts time when they don't have jurisdiction on your license anyways.
On a side note, this sort of thing is what cruise control is very handy for.

Atleast not in my car. Cruise control won't set at speeds more than ~140km/h

If an Albertan did the same in BC, we take their car and make them hoof it back over the Rockies. And back again to get their car in a week.

Happened to a buddy a few yrs ago, also coming back from chasing summer.
He got a friend that's local in Alberta to go to court on his behalf and the ticket was thrown out.

How do you propose to try and slow people down then?

Just because the number of tickets increased doesn't mean it's not working. Increase in population, police resources/quotas etc. can also affect those numbers. If you believe that the number of people who speed tripled in a span of 4 years, you're an idiot.

Did the population triple in three years?
No, they've reduced the thresholds for tickets. Clearly it's not discouraging people from speeding.

If they used unmarked vehicles to set up the photo radar, the only reasonable conclusion that can be drawn from that chart is that people seem to have increased their speeds when they think that no one is watching over those 3 years.

The number of tickets for 6-10 over increased by 26 times. Someone fiddled with the "take picture at" speed...

Or maybe, because it was already taking pictures of speeders at 6-10km/hr over the limit, 26 times more people decided to increase their speed to 6-10km/hr over the speed limit in areas where there was photo radar.
Or maybe they decided to have 26 times more photo radar enforcement areas.
But definitely not playing with the settings otherwise that first number would be 0.

It could be that it was previously set at 9 over and they moved it down to 6 over.
This is much more likely than the idea that suddenly 26 times more people were speeding up.

Police themselves seldom stop people for going less than 10k over the limit...unless it is in places like school or construction zones. Police often write tickets for lower speeds than actually involved to give drivers a break...that may account for the extremely low numbers when EPS alone were writing. Police often give drivers a very high level of tolerance...I had no problem finding a never-ending source of 20K+ speeders every shift and ignored lower ones most times. Once the city gets involved the numbers may reflect the actual numbers of speeders actually doing under 10k. The photo and laser/radar (?????) tickets sound like machines took the pictures and issued tickets for the actual speeds involved. Police often use discretion...a machine operates the way it has been programmed. The machine is also on duty 100% of the time...Police are not. This alone might represent an apples vs oranges number count. Just my 2 cents worth.

What a wonderful way to wage revoloution against the Man...and screw over city hall. Obey the traffic laws and all those Cops get fired because of no ticket money.. and you can drive as badly and illegally as you want. Just a thought | |
