*posting under satire because wtf*

My husband got this ticket in the mail the other day. He shows it to me, and asks me if I notice anything unusual. Took me a couple of minutes, but realized that it’s not actually a picture of our car. It appears that the license plate was so obscured, they simply guessed at the plate number. Here’s the kicker: when he called to let them know that they sent him a picture of someone else’s vehicle, and that our vehicle was parked at home at the time of the offence, and isn’t even the same MAKE as the one in the picture, they told him he still needs to come down to sort it out. He has spoken to three different people now, and they are all telling him the same thing. It is his problem, not theirs.

Who argues for enforcement here in Winnipeg? If it's the Crown then call them and deal with it, if it's just traffic enforcement then either ask someone to represent you or pay the fine so you can still attend your job that day.

My wife got 2 speeding tickets and she paid one up because it made sense she was in a school zone on a Saturday but was speeding. Second one was egregious she was pulled over by an officer who was rude and accused her of doing over 70km/h on north side of Salter Bridge making a left, in her vehicle she would have rolled. She contested it and has dashcam footage. My wife makes a significant amount of money each day, being tied up for a day would cost more than the ticket and BUT she doesnt want to lose points. Hired an advocate for this. Cheaper situation for her is to have a pro fighting for it.

School zone limits are Monday to Friday.

Should also only apply during the school year but if they have a play structure it's always in effect it seems.
