    As I recall, Fantino actually requested Montgomery in the first place. He's well respected. He caught Fantino 'modifying' his testimony. Burn baby, burn.

    He did request Montgomery after the first adjudicator was found to be biased!

    Appeal number three is on the horizon, poor poor Julian, everyone is out to get him!

    Don't fret Fantino fans, he's still out there with his personal driver, busting "Damn Street Racers", read this fairy tale! from lap dog Lamberti!

    A delay in this enquiry is denying justice to the accused. Fantino needs to take his lumps for this, as has now been stated TWICE, and shut the hell up.

    Re: Fantino

    I found this older letter written about the stats & lies used in creating Bill203 then into HTA 172.
    Last year, 320 people lost their lives on OPP patrolled roads, if you break down the statistics:
    Last year
    320 X .3 = 96 lives lost due to drunk driving, no vehicle seizure
    320 X .12 = 38 lives lost due to distracted driver, no vehicle seizure
    320 X .012 = 4 lives lost due to "street racing", vehicle seizure
    Prior year
    451 X .3 = 135 lives lost due to drunk driving, no vehicle seizure
    451 X .12 = 40 lives lost due to detracted driver, no vehicle seizure
    451 X .012 = 5 lives lost due to "street racing", vehicle seizure
    By the math,
    With over 10,000 vehicles and licenses seized, 1, life was saved.

    Yet, 100 people were killed by drunk drivers, and 38 by distracted drivers, no public outrage to seize the cars there.
    Interesting that the stats have improved the exact same level in the U.S. with high fuel prices & a recession. So, is slowing drivers due to high fuel & less vehicles on the road really the correct answer. And over 10,000 people have had their vehicles and licenses seized because it looks good politically, but has had no real measurable effect on saving lives?
    Have a read of this older article :
    Street Racing Nonexistent Problem, Stats Show


    By Vander Doelen 07-04-2007 COMMENTS(0) Vanderblogger

    Filed under: politics, street racing, speeding, Highway 401(Embedded
    image moved to file: pic19289.jpg)
    I received the letter below recently from driving enthusiast Ron
    Durocher of Harrow. His comments and research are even more timely this
    morning, given what Progressive Conservative leader John Tory is
    proposing to do about speeding.

    Last week, Ron was pretty annoyed by the political grandstanding of the
    provincial Liberal government over the alleged crisis in "street
    racing."

    "It just seems like our rights and freedoms as drivers are being
    whittled away because of political agendas and misinformation," Durocher
    wrote in an e-mail.

    In response to a couple of deadly Toronto incidents that seemed more
    linked to that city's growing ethnic gang culture than to racing, the
    Liberals have been threatening to impose a Draconian crackdown on street
    racing across the province.

    Durocher says the statistics don't back up the government's claim there
    is a "crisis" on our roads. According to his research, police chases
    actually cause more deaths in North America than outlaw racers do.

    I'm sure Ron is even more disappointed today to learn that the
    provincial Conservatives have not only jumped on Premier McGuinty's
    streetracing "crisis" bandwagon but are advocating even more severe
    action.

    Under the Conservatives' proposed law -- which you can be sure will part
    of their election campaign this fall -- any vehicle caught travelling
    more than 50 km over the speed limit would be confiscated on the spot
    for a week.

    You have to wonder if that law would apply to certain well-known local
    speed demons in the legal profession, local industry, and some close
    family members of police officers who brag about their immunity from
    tickets. There certainly could be a lot of cars in our local impound
    lot. And that's not even counting the flood of American speeders on
    Highway 401 who know they are immune to our current laws . . .

    Anyway, here's Ron's letter, which he titled The Myths About Street
    Racing:

    "Recently, there has been much in print and much grandstanding by
    politicians, Attorney Generals and Police Commisioners about how street
    racing is an "epidemic."

    "Sadly, Joe Public eats it all up since he/she really has no clue and no
    way or verifying if what the talking heads are saying is true. How do I
    know this? Well that's because Canada doesn't compile and keep
    statistics on the causes of accidents, which would include those by
    street racing.

    "As an auto enthusiast and an engineer for an automotive manufacturing
    company, I take a keen interest in all things automotive. So I decided
    to do much research on the topic so that I could make my own decisions.
    With little info available here, I had to turn to the US. By all
    accounts, street racing is a much more serious problem in the US than it
    is here. Well after coming up emtpy for statistics from Transport
    Canada, I found a wealth of information from the National Highway Safety
    Administration FARS (Fatality Analysis Accident Reporting System)
    statistics. Street racing has been included in the FARS database since
    1998.

    "The statistics, to say the least, were eye opening. Far from being a
    scourge of the highways, street racing accounts for very few traffic
    deaths. From 1998-2005, there were 304,236 fatalities on U.S. roads.
    Of these, a mere 353 (0.12 per cent) were from street racing. For
    comparitive purposes, I also looked at other common causes. Talking on
    a cellphone, another dangerous driving habit much hyped by police and
    the media was only slightly less dangerous at 327 deaths (0.11 per
    cent).

    "Bear in mind, millions of Canadians talk on cell phones daily; an act
    statistically as dangerous as street racing.

    "Driving slower than the posted speed limit (429 deaths, 0.14 per cent)
    accounted for more deaths. Surprisingly, being distracted by something
    inside the vehicle, such as talking to a passenger, adjusting a mirror,
    fiddling with a radio or eating caused an eye-opening 38,914 deaths
    (12.79 per cent).

    "Again, this is something plenty of people do every day while driving.
    Some of the highest trained street drivers in the world, police
    officers, caused nearly four times the fatalities (1,357, 0.44 per cent)
    of street racers!

    "But these all pale in comparison to drunk driving. Nearly 144,000
    people were killed by drunk drivers in the U.S., a staggering 44 per
    cent of all fatalities. Canada isn't much better. Drunk driving here is
    responsible for at least 30 per cent of all fatalities, claiming
    sometimes over 1,000 victims per year.

    "By contrast I've been only able to find less than a dozen deaths caused
    by street racing in Canada for the last two years combined.

    "And now there's been talk from the Attorney General about impounding
    and crushing cars of street racers. Why such a harsh punishment for
    something that is more or less insignificant statistically? Easy. These
    street racers are generally young people. And young people have no money
    to defend themselves in a court of law. So it's easy for the
    agenda-driven police and politicians to "show" that they are cracking
    down and being tough on this "epidemic" of street racing.

    "Now, let's imagine for a second that the police and politicians changed
    the laws so that the cars of drunk drivers, the most dangerous group of
    killers on Canadian roads, were crushed. The outcry would be IMMENSE to
    say the least. Drunk drivers include people from every walk of life.
    Judges, teachers, politicians, police, journalists, engineers you name
    it. And more alarming, these people drive drunk multiple times! Even
    with suspended licenses.

    "The fact is "street racers" are being centered out for political
    reasons but mainly because they are easy pickings. What a better group
    to target than a group of people perceived as dangerous drivers that
    can't defend themselves.

    "Don't get me wrong here. Street racing is stupid, irresponsible and
    downright dangerous. But is it the threat to humanity we have been
    reading about? Certainly not.

    "The average person doesn't know the facts and has no idea where to look
    for them. They are being lied to and are being fed a plate full of
    ********. (Last month) the Commisioner of the OPP said that we need a
    fleet of airplanes to combat street racing! Are you kidding me? A fleet
    of airplanes? And he had the audacity to say that the cost would be
    "minimal" and that they would pay for themselves by saving tens of
    thousands of lives!!

    "A fleet or airplanes that require engine overhauls every 1,500 hours at
    a cost of $15,000 each!! And we need these to get a very small number of
    nut jobs off the road?And guess who will buy into this and be the ones
    paying for this? Yes . . . the same poeple who have no idea that this
    isn't really a problem . . .

    Don't listen to Spider Jones on CFRB then. He's so far up Fantino's butt that he knows when the Commissioner has a cavity before his dentist does.

    Is that 1010? If so I don't listen to that station anyway. I just won't understand anyone's logic for agreeing with this publicity hog. I can't even remeber than name of the previous OPP top guy.

    Yes, CFRB 1010. I listen to it on my drives to-and-from work and the MP3 player gets plugged in any time that Spider Jones sits in for John Moore. I had it out with him a couple of times on-air with Jones over his lackey-like support of Fantino's views and had him admit to my logic, only to have him spout the same crap a week later.

    The last time I was caller #3. Callers #1 and #2 had already taken him to task for it. He was starting to get a little punchy by the time I got to him

    Sit down Fantino fans......................yet another Police Officer has come foward with Hysterical allegations.
    Street Racers, Police Officers and Adjudicators are just out to get this poor guy.

    The complaint, which has not been proven, alleges Fantino "engaged in unlawful acts of reprisals against defence witnesses," according to the factum.
