There is a petition against the implementation of Administrative Penalties here: https://www.change.org/p/kathleen-wynne-madeleine-meilleur-ontario-mpps-stop-administrative-penalties-in-ontario There was a great message posted there. I think so anyway: I value the presumption of innocence. I...

At least the government always spends our money wisely.

Speed doesn't kill anymore I guess. Maybe they'll make it like tolls and give us transponders.

I heard it was in court yesterday. I only heard that last night unfortunately.

Does anyone have any fresh updates on this case? Was a decision rendered in November or was the case put over for decision?
