Where is law enforcement in this town? If COP's can do this why can't our highly paid Peace Officer/s?
ReplyDeleteWas this blitz done on request of the "over worked" RCMP or is this a case of the COP's setting their own mandate?
ReplyDeleteSERIOUSLY!! These people need to get a life!!
ReplyDeleteThe community is SOOOOO much safer now.
I think less than 2% of people is pretty minor and am surprised how low the number was.
Maybe there next task can be figuring out why people drive 20 - 30 KMH down main street? It is not a playground zone!!!
The Alberta Citizens on Patrol Assoc. has joined forces with the Alberta Motor Association recently. One of the mandates they asked of the C.O.P. groups across Alberta was to do a Distracted Driving Blitz for "statistics" only.
