30 days in the hole isn't enough. Lock him up.

After conviction, there should be (but probably won't be) huge consequences. Punished before conviction is not ok with me. Lots of dirtbag police out there still. If you are doing a burnout on a project bike in your driveway (or a cop says you were), you could get most of those tickets too. A JP adds a sober second look (hopefully) before meting out punishment.

The pizza delivery guy who hit me on my bike when he had a suspended license, no insurance, and expired tags had his license reinstated from the first suspension between being charged and going to court, and got away with his license intact. Didn't even receive the minimum stated fine for the no insurance charge. The Crown clearly didn't want to bother with an actual trial and plead him down. This after I was taken away on a backboard and he had dodged police at his home, for weeks, after being seen driving again almost immediately after the crash, in a different car. I feel for people who make a mistake. I have no compassion for habitual offenders.

*EDIT* - I was asked in court, by the prosecution, if i was amenable to this deal they were talking about. My comment amounted to, "You clearly don't want to take the time to charge appropriately, so do what you want." No, the words were not any nicer.

'hopefully' being the operative word. Do they really care or do they just want to clear the court docket so they can go golfing ?

The court needs to generate $xxxx profit/day. The faster you move the customers through the cashier, the more money you make.
 
I’m at a loss for words…kill a teen and drive off…hide the car…buy an identical car and swap plates and VINs…let car be used for reenactment…15 year search and only a 2 year sentence.

'This is finally finished': Driver who killed Ont. teen and hid vehicle for 14 years sentenced

The driver who hit and killed a Fergus, Ont. 18-year-old, and the woman who helped him cover it up, were sentenced in a Guelph court Tuesday, nearly 15 years after the fatal crash.

No surprises here. Dodge Ram, suspended driver, fail to remain, released on an undertaking. If he has already proven that he will ignore the courts orders, why is an undertaking even an option? The system is very broken.

The driver, James Patton, age 56, of Ajax

If the media can drag out the past for Yaroslav Hunka, why not this guy?

Start with why he's driving suspended. DUI, delinquent dad, unpaid fines or???

What stellar qualities does he have?

What are the conditions of his undertaking?

Did he admit guilt?

As much as I would like to see his head on a platter my disdain for HTA 172 and its punishment before trial should also apply here.

RIP Lady. No one should be left on the street to die.

I'm not arguing for punishment before court date. If there is sufficient evidence to convince the JP that he was driving suspended, that should be sufficient to eliminate voluntary undertakings as an option. As a minimum give him a bracelet to wear.
 
I’m heading up 403E at 410 yesterday, a flatbed transport has a 40’ container loaded on wooden skids. The skids were crushing, container was rockin!
