Crackdown on loud pipes

[MAPearce]

How is it smoke and mirrors when we even know which three departments are obtaining additional funding, that didn't exist without this revenue?

Wait for it Grasshopper .... Wait for it...

It was a question I asked .

We know where its going but not to whom or for what .

And before Kelowna starts to focus on any traffic-related issues they first have to dedicate more than three members to full-time traffic enforcement.

I think it is all members need to take a active part in enforcement instead of turning the other way at a intersection it would be better!

I've seen it and all members need to pull up there breeches and take ownership of this City.

Have you seen the file load that general duty members in Kelowna carry? The sad reality is that they simply don't have the time to devote to meaningful general traffic enforcement.

You mean you just don't drive around all day long ignoring everything that goes on. Shocking!

I agree... How much resource was wasted on the "prank call" on Leon the other day ?

I'm not bashing BTW , just pointing out the obvious.

Crackdown on loud pipes in the Okanagan highly doubt it will ever happen, better off just getting MP3 player of your choice & your favourites tunes. Block out the sounds of loud pipes (oh don't use headphones or buds while driving. lol).

But do you know the file load. !/2 hour for coffee instead of over a hour, you have time for a minimum of one ticket. I've been there done that, you can make time if you have drive!

Well, If you want to start timing breaks...one twelve hour shift entitles a member to one and a half hours of meal breaks. Sometimes they take three 1/2 hr breaks. Sometimes it gets split between two breaks. Sometimes it's one. Sometimes it's none and they have to stuff their face with grub as they drive between calls.

If you have "been there and done that" in the non-union policing environment then you would know that. The solution is not as simple as you make it seem.

Its ok, it's only a observation I have made. I used to stop at the same coffee stop and seemed to see the same group of members several times a day. No need to explain yourself! But thanks.

Well, If you want to start timing breaks..

Yeah.... coming from one of the ultimate "bashers" on these forums , the last thing I would ever chirp about is a human having enough time to take a leak , poop or get some food...

Cops don't have the time to do that , never mind patrol for noise.

I love how people who are breakers of the law, are always the ones who use words like "bashers" and "what about the prank call" to try to make a point. And "such a waste of your tax money". Losers.

Those of us that can actually afford to pay our taxes, are very thankful for what the police/firefighters/EMT's do.

What I find even funnier, is that NO one ever replies to these losers posts.

Well yeah, I did reply, but only to make fun of them.

Perhaps meeting for coffee sometimes is work related so they can share information of what is going on that day/evening. More importantly, why are those complaining stalking the police? Get a life.

Anyways, I think it is about time the police start ticketing the Sons of Anarchy wanna be's loud bikes. Can you say mid-life crisis!

Meet for coffee..neet idea.

Trust me, there are many on Castanet that totally slag the police. And I know a few of them personally, and understand why they act that way. But at the end of the day, they are still total losers.

I have a really loud bike (not really). 2010 Ultraglide, but engine is built up to 113 cc...yeah as big as it can get bored out to. (still kiind of quiet) But really *bleep* fast...

I've had half a dozen choppers, and a couple race bikes...this *bleep* ultraglide is SO much faster than any of those bikes. It's so fast, it's sick...

If my bike really causes that much grief, then I will gladly pay any and all fines.

Boy, you sure missed all of it, didn't you ? If you actually read from the eh beginning, you'd have got that I actually support ticket and motor vehicle fine revenue staying in the community that it is generated in to support the obvious need of traffic enforcement... I guess I'm a loser...

I also support the investigation and prosecution of those responsible for "prank calls" waste time and resources when they are obviously already stretched to the limit already... Nevermind wasting you tax dollars that you suggest I can't afford to pay....I guess that makes me a loser..

But at least as a lower, I can tell when someone is supporting something or not.....

That's a loser IMO..... take a bow, loser.

You are also the person who made a big deal, and called police about someone taking pictures of your house. Waste of police services?
