The dozen bums chugging Colt45 and blocking sidewalks in front of the Post Office every morning have no money to pay a fine.
The guy who flips his butt out in the street can afford a $10 pack of smokes, does.
Assembling a photo-radar gear in front of a school results in under 3% of the revenue possible assembling it on a long straight stretch of empty highway.
Question 19: Which is the proper procedure:
a) Stake out the seedy Hotel at closing time for drunk drivers.
b) Stake out the neighbourhood pub at 5:30 pm for drunk drivers.
c) Stay in the station and play Hearts for a quarter a point.
The correct answer is either b) or c), as a) involves contending with the likely violent perp and friends who'll back him on top of a 82% chance he will have no job and require jailing at public expense.
It's a nice idea to put your butts in a cigg disposal thingy, but there's a lot less of those out there then garbage and recycling cans..... and if you chuck it out like regular garbage, you can start a fire and get into even more crap for not trying to litter.
If there's a disposal area for ciggs, I'll use them, but if I don't see any in my sight or within short walking distance, I'm not carrying the damn thing everywhere I go, it's getting stomped and left where I dropped it.... and the law can kiss my rosy arse.
....and they have undercover nobs sitting around ticketing smokers. Edmonton City Police "Service", is, imo, the most corrupt and incompetent of all the major city police forces.

You know the difference between a 'Peace' officer and a 'Police' officer, right?
But I do agree with you on the corrupt and incompetent part.
Nope. I'm not following you.

If there's a difference I wasn't aware.

The traditional difference is that 'Peace' officers do not have the authority to investigate crimes. They can do most anything else a Police officer can do legally.
The story refers to undercover 'Peace' officers, which is why I asked.
Legal goddam crack dealers, that's all they are.
And go ahead flip your butts out the window in BC. They won't buy the deadwood, they won't cut the deadwood, all they wanna do is freaking yap about their big plans until everyone in the industry is dead of old age and you're buying only American lumber at Home Depot instead. At least there will be jobs putting fires out.
