Title: 25 and home
Post by: maarp on December 14, 2006, 10:26:23 AM
Write 25 tickets and go home early is 'a sad example of unacceptable conduct' (http://www.torontosun.com/News/TorontoAndGTA/2006/12/14/2787954-sun.html)

Nice.    :banghead:

Typical.  Shows their willingness to satisfy the politicians desire for revenue generation and absolutely nothing to do with public safety or service!

Per MONTH?  Whoa - it's $115/ft/season (April-November) here.  You must be at a pretty fancy place.   We have some like that here too.  You must make a pretty good commission for selling one of those slips. 

My marina is about two miles from the inlet and could never handle the draft of a sailboat.  As you get closer to the ocean, it becomes more and more expensive.  There's a yacht club right near the inlet that is tens of thousands per season.

My mom got ticketed for doing 60 km/h in a 40 km/h zone where it was a steep uphill so she was pressing the gas pretty deeply and as she came over the top of the hill, she accelerated to 60 and the cop was just waiting there. Now this was a residential area, on a saturday, at 7 am.

No offence, but if your mom can't control her speed going over a hill, she deserved a ticket.  :devil:  :lol:

haha, yeah, we are.  We specialize in 100'+...  Unfortunately, we don't operate on commission, or I would have retired by now!
