JohnRich 4 #26 January 22, 2005 Quotedo I really have to pay that ticket or can I just say FU to those motherfrs? I'm not a lawyer. Canada has no jurisdiction to do anything to you here in America as a U.S. citizen. However, if you don't pay the ticket, I would not advise you to go back to Canada again, because if you go back with an outstanding ticket and are caught, they'll probably take you to jail and make you doubly miserable the next time.

Superman32 0 #28 January 24, 2005 Ok, as I said this was just a way for me to vent my frustrations. While it sucks because of the huge ticket, I have no problems with having broken the law and have been caught. My problem is with the bastard that obviously targeted my car b/c of my license plates. Once again, I had no other infractions, but I was stopped while many other cars with Quebec licenses were by far exceeding their speed limit. Inveniam Viam aut Faciam I'm back biatches!

Marz 0 #29 January 24, 2005 Wel, here's what I know regarding tickets. I know for a fact that New York State has an agreement with Ontario and Quebec that a driving offense by a Quebec or Ontario driver in that state is reported to the province. It DOES appear on your driving record and you will lose the demerit points, and they will send collections after you! I speak from experience on that one. What you said about Canadian cops also applies to NY cops for me... I don't know what the deal is with FLA. You might wanna check it out with you state's DMV. There is an assload of Canadians down there in winter and I wouldn't be surprised if they have a similar agreement. I just don't know if it goes both ways.

In conversation we mentioned that we were Americans and were headed back to Watertown that night. He flips out an RCMP badge and tells us the route to get out of town while avoiding the Sobriety Check points. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkyDekker 1,127 #31 January 24, 2005 I guess you missed the big signs coming into the country telling you they are illegal????? What really gets me is this: If you have the radar detector why are you going under the speed limit? I had the same happen to me once, in Ontario, with Ontario plates. That is how i found out they really do have radar detector detectors Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Superman32 0 #32 January 25, 2005 Quote I guess you missed the big signs coming into the country telling you they are illegal?????

That is how i found out they really do have radar detector detectors I completely missed the sign, and as far as going the speed limit, I never really trusted the radar detector because it really depends on how the cop is positioned for it to work. Having the radar detector in the car was just a complete oversight. I had completely forgotten it was even there. I highly doubt that the guy that stopped me had a detector/ detector simply because he followed me for a very long time( about 4 miles -- 6+ km) which should have been more than enough time to call in my plates.

They showed a huge stack of the detectors being crushed with a bull-dozer. When you drive in Canada or even another State, you either abide by the laws or face the consequences. Let's say, the 'shoe' was on the other foot and it was a Canadian 'griping' about some U.S. law. What would your 'feelings' be? It's a pretty good idea to check-up on the laws of other countries before visiting. That Canadian cop, was doing his job... enforcing 'his' country's laws.
