    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    There is already a threshold for offences beyond which immigration status is supposed to receive a review. They just need to apply it. Perhaps there's an issue with a waiting list?

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    Given that our system is largely successful, overall, I would like to see some numbers on who the recidivists actually are. My gut tells me that we're looking at a relatively small number of offenders who constantly play the system, making it look far worse than it actually is. We're seeing...

    I'd be careful about mandatory minimums. It's that sort of thing that resulted in the "multiple credit for time served" business.

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    People who commit suicide typically aren't thinking about how it will have an effect on anyone else. One of my uncles was a chief of police, back east. His wife was going through chemo. He was fighting lawsuits that were filed by a woman who was claiming discrimination because the department...

    Currently on a rewatch of the late '90s Canadian series "The Lost World" on Tubi. Hokey, but I love it.

    "Tucker & Dale vs. Evil" - I think this is my 4th watch of this movie and I just keep coming back to it.

    Rewatched it a couple of months back after watching the remake, and being seriously disappointed.

    Aside: I'm quite annoyed that some of my friends' productions are on Prime in the US, but that even my VPN won't let me access them. At least some of the indie films that I've backed are starting to show up on Tubi and Roku, in Canada.

    Sounds about right. Fortunately most of the corners on 37 are sweepers, so he didn't end up in a grove of trees somewhere. Or someone's front yard.

    Watching "Skeleton Crew" on D+. Yup, "kids on bikes" meets Star Wars. It's like if they did a sequel to "The Goonies" in which the kids jumped on the pirate ship, as it sailed off over the horizon.

    I somehow doubt that the 80 YO's reflexes were up to doing almost double the limit on 37.

    I had much the same thing happen to me, more than 25 years ago now, though the conditions were somewhat different. We had just had an ice storm, followed by rain, and I was working in a computer manufacturing company. I always parked around the back. When I got to work I was careful to do no...

    Looks like the driver ordered fries with that. Some of the charges are effectively duplicates and will go away, but he's still got issues.

    And, until then, I'll be staying well away from transports during winter. You have no idea how many times I'm had to swerve across a lane or two in order to avoid a 6 foot plus slab of ice that gets blown off the roof of a trailer.

    Now if only truckers would clear those hundred pound sheets of ice of their trailers, that I seem to be constantly dodging.

    With how hard it seems to be to get hired by TPS, you would think that the standard for officers maintaining their employment would be a bit higher.

    "White and another officer were criminally charged in 2019 with theft and perjury in connection with the same investigation after they were accused of failing to “account for a portion” of money that was seized during a search. They were also accused of providing false or misleading testimony...

    "2010: The Year We Make Contact" is a more conventional movie, in the action sense.

    For me it's more about personal curiosity as I haven't seen anything mentioned about the other vehicle, apart from the guy who provided the dashcam video to CP24 mentioning that traffic was slowed because of a previous accident.
