Again - expensive fine, insurance increase, and licence suspension. Even if you use it while stopped at a red light. You'll be paying for this for years to come. It's still one of the most common charges laid by Police across the country. Not worth it! #DriveSafe #DistractedDriving #LawEnforcement #Policing #CarInsurance #Driving #Cars #Insurance

Window tint laws: If you choose to ignore the law altogether, an officer can order you to an inspection facility where you will be forced to remove the tint from the vehicle. Police must be able to identify the driver. Even if you purchased the vehicle somewhere else, you would have to get the tint removed. The onus is on the owner. Thank you for the information, Corporal Sahak! #WindowTint #TrafficEnforcement #RCMP #BritishColumbia #Canada #Cars #LawEnforcement #Policing

Cops can tell how fast you're driving, even if they're going in the opposite direction? They can tell how fast you're driving if you're speeding up behind them on the road? YES! Moving, directional radar is a thing. It can also be set to let them know if someone is excessively speeding based on the tone, so the officer doesn't have to be watching while on patrol. Not all police vehicles are equipped with this technology, so you never know! #DriveSafe. #lawenforcement #trafficenforcement #insurance #cars #policing

This will cost you $325 and three demerit points. As usual, insurance rates will also significantly increase. These are easy, very common, and because the recording equipment includes 30 seconds before the officer activates their emergency equipment to initiate a traffic stop, the offence is often caught on camera. Save your hard earned money, it's not worth it. Drive safe #TrafficEnforcement #LawEnforcement #PoliceAdvice #Insurance #Policing #DriveSafe

The classic 'public safety' vs 'revenue generation' conversation continues. There are no set allowances in terms of speeding, the limit is the limit. We all know that the law as stated is not always common practice. I don't know any police officer who has actually pulled someone over for 1 or 2 over the limit, however police will not publicly state allowances, nor should they. There's all kinds of rumours and myths out there. Also, should all speeding be treated the same? Doing 10 over the limit on an open highway isn't the same as 10 over the limit in a residential school zone during the day. #Drive safe out there! @Officer Papadopoulos #TrafficEnforcement #LawEnforcement #Speeding #PulledOver #TrafficTicket #CarInsurance #Driving

Another myth: Police can't give tickets outside their jurisdiction. They absolutely can and do! Same with highway patrol, they can give tickets in the city and vice versa. I've done it, and I know officers who have done the same. On a side note, I also arrested a person for robbery while off-duty in a whole other municipality. The service where I was came and processed the arrest, however it was status quo. Drive safe everyone! #TrafficEnforcement #PoliceAdvice #LawEnforcement #Policing #PoliceFoundations #DriveSafe

Yes, you can legally drive with bare feet! I'd even say it's safer than driving with some sandals or flip flops which are designed to slide off easy and get caught up. This myth ranks up there with parents telling kids that driving with the interior light on will get you a ticket as well, which we all fell for. Thanks @Officer Papadopoulos #TrafficEnforcement #LawEnforcement #Policing #PoliceAdvice #Driving #Laws #DriveSafe

Top 3 tickets - Country wide! These are the same top three tickets issued by @Officer Papadopoulos in 2024. It's the same no matter where you are. Keep in mind, these are Provincial offences and fines differ depending on where you are. Ontario has Stunt Driving, BC has Excessive Speeding. Certainly seems to be more expensive in Ontario, however both will affect your insurance rates. It's not worth it! Thanks, Corporal Sahak! #TrafficSafety #TrafficEnforcement #RCMP #LawEnforcement #Policing #NorthVancouver #StuntDriving #Insurance

Are you considering a career in Policing? There's never been a better time to join! Whether you're an experienced police officer or you're just starting out, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police may have exactly what you're looking for. I have many friends with the RCMP who either started out with them, or transferred from another service, and they couldn't be happier. You can find all the information you need to get started online. Good luck to you! Thank you, Corporal Sahak! Keep smiling brother. #RCMP #Policing #Careers #Hiring #RCMPDepot #LawEnforcement #PoliceFoundations

Yes, it's for real. A lot of people complain online that a Cop gave them a ticket for 5 or 10 over. They post it and slam the police. Meanwhile, the ticket has a code marked which means the speed was reduced on the ticket. Drive safe! Speed kills. #TrafficEnforcement #LawEnforcement #TrafficCop #Speeding #Policing #DriveSafe

$495 and three demerit points, which means your insurance, which is already too high, will increase even more. #DriveSafe #TrafficEnforcement #LawEnforcement #TrafficCop #Insurance

The law applies even if you're stopped at a red light. You must be off the road. $615 fine, 3 day licence suspension, and 3 demerit points. Your insurance will also skyrocket! This applies to Uber drivers, Lyft, Skip The Dishes, Amazon delivery, etc. It's not worth it. Thanks @Officer Papadopoulos Drive safe, and have a great day #DistractedDriving #TrafficEnforcement #LawEnforcement #Insurance #Cars #Policing #DriveSafe

You get the ticket - even if you don't own the vehicle! The onus is on the driver. If you're borrowing a car from a friend or family member, and they have illegal window tints, plate covers, loud exhaust, etc, you get the ticket if pulled over. Something to keep in mind. Drive safe everyone, have a fantastic day. And thanks @Officer Papadopoulos #PoliceAdvice #LawEnforcement #TrafficEnforcement #Cars #Insurance #PulledOver #Policing #DriveSafe

Are you happy with the way things are? Keep the status quo? Or do we need change. Clearer self-defence laws or even a form of 'castle doctrine' similar to the US. A few clips from one of my recent videos. I don't know why people are so passive about crime at their doorsteps with repeat offenders. There's not nearly enough media coverage. A few things to think about, and I share some crime prevention tips in the full version. You can view the video on my YouTube by clicking the link in my profile or searching for my channel under my full name, Randall Arsenault.
