    Never said it was cool. It’s not cool to make shit up to support an argument.

    I worked for the government. I had a six month contract with Department of Justice on the massive influx of files shortly after red light cameras went up in our area. I filed traffic tickets, too.

    One file that stuck with me was a commuter who accrued multiple speeding tickets over a few days in an area I knew well, because it transitioned from the highway to a residential area in like, no time, and the RCMP had set up a speed trap before the new speed sign. It’s not clear it’s residential because it’s a forest on one side with a huge hill between the road and the houses on the other. He went to court to ask for a sign to be put up closer to the highway or the speed trap to be moved up the road. They didn’t do either.
