Toronto!

Miranda doesn't cross the border. Or the 1st amendment. Or most anything else you see on a police or criminal lawyer show based in the US. But most of Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, and Windsor, plus a few other places see way more US TV than Canadian much to the consternation of the local cultural police.

Dunno but at this point, beer is cheaper per liter than gas. If only my lil'
saturn would run on beer....

This money making scheme has to stop I got pulling over the middle of
the day for having a tail light out. All I had to say was "I hope so my
lights aren't on". All the cop said was thank you sir got in his car and
drove away. What was he expecting an idiot to be driving and take the
ticket. I've heard of them pulling some one over for speeding and wind
up giving them a brake light ticket that was not justified because the
light wasn't out and the person in the car didn't know it. The cop found
out the owner knew that there is a data storage box in the car and the
driver was using cruse control at the speed limit at the time. This
person was my mom about a month ago she got out of the ticket by taking
the car to a shop right after the ticket and the shop could prove the
light wasn't out with it's security cameras.

Best is to drive an invisible car. I did that for a long time, not sure
why the car was invisible but I was NEVER stopped. Had cars in front
and behind pulled over and the cops ignored me. Drove thru stop signs
when there were multiple cruisers; they didn't see me. I drove that car
until it wore out, I was afraid to get another because I didn't know WHY
the cops couldn't see me.

Maybe it was my short hair or maybe it was the "Support your Local
Police" stickers I always had on BOTH bumpers ?
