"Fantino said the OPP planes would pay for themselves in increased traffic fines"

OPP wants planes so why not up the hype

We should seize Fantino for being 50 pounds over the limit.

And Bryant for 50 IQ points under the limit.

Street racing sure has changed over the years. Now you can do it by yourself or have to be an unlicenced e-thug in a stolen sedan all by yourself and aim for taxis full of "promising" young black women to win!!!

W.....T......F

EDIT: A Toronto Star poll asking if this is reasonable 30% said no 69% said YES!!!

But the past president of the Canadian Association of Road Safety Professionals called Fantino's proposal short-sighted and ridiculous.
(quoted from thestar.com)

it should be considered, but I dont think it's going to be


Just a Media Hype, he's trying to make it look like hes trying. LOL its good, but now it's going too far.

Fantino is nothing but a politician with a badge.
He is an idiot

Yeah, I hear you there. I get passed all the time, and I don't exactly follow the limit signs all the time.

Yeah, now it's called street racing...what's next a ticket for not having two hands on the wheel?! They should have one called street racing while under the influence. Any drunk *** that goes more than 50 over while intoxicated gets the death penalty.

Fantino can't corrall a bunch of indians in Caledonia so he's picking on softer targets.
By his logic, if he catches you masturbating, he'll charge you with rape.

As has been said, this is simply another PR stunt by a would-be politician. Thankfully, Fantinos mandate is to enforce the law, not write it.

Once the media has something else to occupy the front page, the hype surrounding this will fizzle out, and the AGO and OPP "top cop" will have other concerns.
