When it comes to preventing your plate from being duplicated, Sgt. Schmidt said “there’s really nothing you can do,” because by the time a driver gets a bill or ticket, their plate has already been cloned.
“You have to clear your name and prevent this from continuing,” he said.
A clear and concise “get bent” from the OPP when asked how they intend to address crime.
You’d think so, but this has happened to my dad twice and they wouldn’t renew his sticker until he pays up or settles it. Which brings up, why is the government acting as a collection agency for a private entity?
Smells like a class action lawsuit in the making.
If enough people are being erroneously charged, and if the 407 can’t prove 100% that they are sending the bill to the actual owner of the vehicle being driven, then they would likely lose.
It’s ridiculous that they come up with a system that appears to be easily fooled, and everyone but the 407 is being held accountable.
This makes me wonder how many people were sent bills that they simply paid automatically out of habit, but they shouldn’t have been billed for in the first place.
Right in the
salelease of the 407. The owners of the 407 can tell the government to suspend ownership renewal until all 407 dues are paid.Can you imagine if the government refused to renew your documents cause you owe money to Rogers, or home Depot, or Walmart or some shit? It’s dystopian and I’m ashamed of my country for allowing it
@Son_of_dad @Cobrachickenwing That is under your provincial gov’t, not the feds.
My province is within this country.
Have you been to Canada before? The government is run by private entities
