And any accountability whatsoever. Do you think there would be much in the way of charges without light shining on the crash? Every cop that knew of this shpuld be immediately terminated for cause as a start. Probably a decent argument to be made for something like abuse of a corpse or accessory after the fact so they all have criminal records.

You can bet this officer was read the riot act over this idiocy. He's going to learn what happens when you make the force look that stupid, when it comes to promotion time."Respect ma authoritay" went too far here. A cop shut down streetcars on king for over half an hour because they were mad and eventually gave the driver a ticket. Streetcars are not motor vehicle and not governed by hta so that cop needs to go back to school as well as their anger management classes.

More BS. Authorities are continuing to be as miserable and obstinate as possible. Agreed with the family on a time to exhume the body and then did it hours earlier with no notice. Did the cops need another round of sanitization to make sure they hadn't missed anything in their first cover up? They all belong in jail.More on that story from NBC News.
A mother reported her son missing in March. Police kept the truth from her for months.
Bettersten Wade’s search for her adult son ended when she discovered that an officer had run him over — and without telling her, authorities buried him in a pauper’s field.
Sounds like the cop was actually trying to do something about a bad driver who only makes gridlock worse."Respect ma authoritay" went too far here.

Professional only means you get paid for it. It doesn't mean you're good at it.
Cop might as well shake his fist at airplanes. Streetcars are governed by the railway act.
Allowing rights on reds is a problem where there is congestion. As soon as a space looks like it might open up a right turner takes it. The whole thing forces through traffic to grid lock.
Even rights on greens can plug the street if an intersection further down isn't clearing well. I don't know a good solution for too many vehicles to clear. As a start, local traffic only could be implemented to allow ticketing people using king street as a route to get somewhere. It is a value added ticket though as the cop has no way to identify local traffic (unless they watch you drive an entire block). Again, automated enforcement could pick that up pretty easily but you'd need more cameras as you need both ends of each block you want to hammer.
I'm surprised TTC isn't caught all the time with red light tickets. I've seen this countless times, a bus/streetcar just sliding through intersection while its red.
I think they are slower at turing (probably solves all the breakdowns they had in the beginning), but I've seen them zip along St Clair pretty quick.
Since allowing Toronto pedestrians to cross before the green traffic signal, back ups have gotten worse. Never mind the fact that they keep crossing after the walk signal changes to flashing, which is illegal.
Pedestrian behaviour is poor enough that we are approaching the level of needing arms like at train tracks to try to control behaviour at busy intersections (or just switch to the scramble so pedestrians and cars have their own separate times to cross). Pedestrians like to spread out and stream across to block the entire light. Really, there should be a five second window to get going and then no more. Walking across as a crowd is safer and allows vehicles to move.
No enforcement, so nothing short of 7 foot fences with automatic gates will stop them.
Yup Yonge street prime example, Peds walk straight into traffic any point along the road, expecting you to stop.
