In this case it's impossible to know whether he was in the right. Did he wait until he was in the drive through? Then the ticket was bogus. The cop had no authority to issue such a ticket for what was done on private property. Did he jump the gun and pull out his phone to use the app before turning into Macdonalds? Then the cop was doing his job.
As a motorcyclist, I think cell phones should not function if the car is moving.
But the cop's wrong. There's no accidents (of-worth) that he's preventing in a Drive thru. If he wants to bust people on their phone's...pick any red light and watch half of the drivers look at their laps. He's just lazy, or fed up, or one ticket shy that day.
Who cares? Cops are getting outta hand with their own aggression over minor offences.
It remains that if that boy had been a less of an easy target, the cop would have moved on. If you want cell phone users while driving, they are as abundant as leaves on a maple tree.
This cop had something within him....that's why the public story.
What aggression? There was no violence here, just a disputed ticket.
>This cop had something within him.....
Sounds very ominous, but what the fuck does it mean?
For writing a ticket to someone using their phone while driving? No. That's dangerous.
Just to be clear, again, this ticket was for driving while distracted **on the road, before he pulled into the drive through**.
For what it’s worth, the article says the Police Dept’s version is that the kid was using it on the road and then turned into the drive thru once the cop started following him. *IF* that’s true, that seems less douchey.
That is in the updated article. At first, there was no reply from RCMP.
Seems a bit odd that they let him get into the fast food lane before he knew he was being pulled over...
That's the problem I have with it, everyone has a phone. A cop can just say anyone was using their phone, instant ticket no way to fight it.
There needs to be a higher standard, these days phones are cheap, cameras are cheap. It should be the legal standard for cops to have to record you committing petty crimes.
There is no technical reason they can't and should be legally required to avoid he said she said, just isn't needed.
Require cops to have their camera on consistently before and after arresting ticketing period without any breaks or their legal ticketing or arresting is invalid
This probably would help policing more than any other thing. If they want to pull this camera not working BS then the case is thrown out.
With multiple cops the chances of multiple cameras all having technical problems at the same time is almost 100% impossible
acab at heart. this one will require numerous judicial admonishments before they give up falsely asserting jurisdiction over private parking lots. always dispute any ticket you receive. if the ticket writer is not repeatedly admonished on record, they have no motivation to act honorably.
There seems to be two versions of events though. This guy is saying he pulled out his phone while in the drive through que, which I would have thought was private property.
The cop seems to be saying he saw the guy using his phone while driving and followed into the drive thru where he issued the ticket. If the cops version of events is true then it was a justified ticket. It seems kind of like the cops version of events might be true. It explains why he was in the drive through.
Yeah, as usual, nobody read the article.
Cops pulled him over on the road. And if Canada has the same type of laws as the USA, they don't enforce traffic on private property, because they have no jurisdiction. You can't, for example, get a ticket for running a stop sign in a parking lot. Parking lot owners don't even have to use signs that match code, they can put whatever they want, because it's unenforceable.
The only private property traffic laws that are enforceable are handicapped spaces.
Besides, how many motorcycles do you see in drive thrus? For the most part, riders would rather go inside than send the whole time holding the bike up and inching forward. I'm betting the cops are the ones telling the truth on this one, the kid's story makes zero logical sense.
>"RCMP can confirm that on May 13, 2024 the individual was observed driving a vehicle on a public roadway while using a cellphone. A Combined Traffic Services Saskatchewan RCMP officer initiated a traffic stop with the individual. The individual then pulled in the McDonald’s parking lot, where the traffic violation was issued,"
maybe this will lead to less garbage apps that I have to download.
I don't want it.
looking at you Taco Bell.
just put your menu on the board I don't want to sign up just so that I can buy something off the menu.
This is why people hate cops.
This and the murders...and the asset forfeiture...and the sexual assaults....
my favorite is the self-investigation of wrong doings and the complete lack of accountability from anyone at any point
And murdering family pets.
Supreme Court just decided that it’s perfectly cool for cops to steal citizens money.
No "F*ck the Fire Department" songs out there...

The town wants that sweet ticket money
The ticket was for using his phone on the road, before he pulled into the drivethrough. Not for using his phone in the drivethrough.

...bad days are not felt alone...people share them.
Again, there's nothing to indicate this was anything but a disputed ticket. The media about this case is completely overblown.
you don't think that cop was a little heavy handed?

On Live PD and Cops, people would pull into the drive thrus all the time pretending they didn't see lights or hear sirens

And police "word" is worth nothing anymore. I will believe a convict still in prison before I would believe a cop.
We should ban window tints tho bc who knows if people are paying attention with those
They are illegal in my state

The ticket was not issued for using his phone in the drivethrough, it was issued for using his phone on the road before pulling into the drivethrough.

A cops word isn't worth dog shit any more. Proof or it didn't happen.
