So the law makes provisions for you if you’re breaking the law using your phone to video tape someone else breaking the law. Seems like a slippery slope. Also sounds very contradictory and stupid.

1. It’s not the police work, they do the same work. Just the community are making a bigger contribution to keep everyone safe.
2.Everyone doesn’t need money to do the right thing or get involved for everyone’s sake.
3.Budget smaller? See 1. Additionally they’ve been doing more with less for the last few years at some point thats not going to be possible.
4.Less pay. See 1.
5.There is actually a formula for that, so not impossible.
6. Using phones to capture. There is a provision in law to address that as well.
7.Someone riding your bike. Law requires you to provide who was riding at the time of the offense or owner get a ticket for failing to do that.

Hope this helps.

Wow people are really doing the work for the police. Interesting. Do they get payed partly for their contributions. Does this mean we can make the police budget smaller. Does this mean they get less pay being someone else is doing a portion of their work. Many questions here. How do you tell how fast someone was going by video footage and not a radar gun? Does this mean that people are gonna be using their cellphones while driving(breaking the law) to catch someone else breaking the law driving recklessly. Sounds like a dominos effect that could cause more harm than good if u ask me. What if someone else is riding your bike. Do you still get issued the ticket and go to court. ?????????????

Is it any wonder so many people believe that the police don’t even know what the local laws are ?
The regulation on license plates is , and always has been , more than just ‘a white background with black numbers’.
The style and size of the font is regulation also .
The people with these plates know they’re illegal as their cars won’t pass TCD with them on .

@Bernews a good question to ask at the next news conference: what is the slowest speed for which a ticket under operation Vega was issued? Anything above 35 km/h and we can carry on driving knowing the rules are flexible. I bet it is in the 60’s!!

“Of those 219 tickets issued, the biggest numbers [41] were for speeding offences, and for disobeying traffic signs [23].“

Ok, what is the speed limit these days, but I keep getting overtaken like I am standing still. As for “traffic signs”, they are treated as suggestions at best.
