Assholes keep speeding and getting away with it. Remember how they cried when they actually got fined for breaking the law? Replace speed cameras with cops.

    What speed cameras? Bring back the speed cameras for one.

    I'm all for it, but that's a provincial thing, not a municipal thing.

    Then let's get some municipal ones. They'd pay for themselves.

    Make a stunt course track for them to not be a danger to others. 🤷‍♂️

    Significantly increase fines and take licenses away for much longer periods. After each such ticket, roll a die, and if the result is odd, squash their vehicle into a cube. Or sell it and give the proceeds to a local hospital.
