Peter seems to be closer to the truth this time. Seems very little if any evidence, probably just witness of the police. A good lawyer can easily shatter the police's words. At least it will be tough to proof concretely in court that every single one of the 13 vehicles had clear wrong-doings. A lot of it is just 'bling car + kids is a sin in itself' type of mentality, which in a way is just wrong. They have rich parents, that's not a sin. Given the opportunity many people would do it themselves (get a bling car) esp if at that same age.
Supt. Norm Gaumont, RCMP officer in charge of traffic enforcement for the Lower Mainland, said their penalty would have been much stiffer had they been caught on video, radar, or if a police officer had seen them racing.
"I know there's a lot of disappointment, wondering why we only charged them with an offence of $196. They fact of the matter is, we have to look at all the evidence we have and what we're able to prove," he said. "That's why we've charged them with driving without due consideration for the public."
That said, I am not condoning doing stupid things on the road. I am usually one of, if not THE slowest driver on the road LOL... (gas cost is friggin too much for me....). |
