Canada: Man given $149 ticket for singing 90s dance song while driving - Sensationalist Headlines

[QUOTE=Quark:;52812711]Yes, I'm aware stealing someone's mail is a felony. The point is that if you receive a citation in the mail and shred it, there's no proof that you received it, as someone could have stolen your mail or it could have gotten lost in transit. That's why they don't (typically) send citations in the mail - there's no way to prove it ever got to you. You aren't required to sign to receive a citation, because it goes in your mailbox, it isn't delivered to you in person in a box by a USPS worker demanding a signature. :overyourhead:[/QUOTE] Anything official is sent via certified mail that you have to sign for.

Yes this is stupid. No this isn't likely to stick. He can take it to the local court of appeals and the judge is most likely going to strike it down, based on their judgment of course. Quebec is the worst place to live in Canada because the legal situation over there is frankly insane. They have some weird shit on the books, they have the weirdest insurance system in canada, they're overall just way different to the rest of the country.

[QUOTE=Silence I Kill You;52812743]Anything official is sent via certified mail that you have to sign for.[/QUOTE] The only things I've had to sign for are things I've ordered online that were delivered to my door. Anything else is left in my mail box.

Interestingly enough I've heard metal vocalists claim their car is one of the few places to practice screaming without bothering roommates.

[/QUOTE] Honestly the police department should pay a small punitive fine in cases like this. When the charge is either so utterly ridiculous and/or when the argument for the ticket is so flimsy that it's a waste of the court's time to dispute it.

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;52812761]The legal situation over there is frankly insane.[/QUOTE] Sure. [QUOTE=HumanAbyss;52812761]They have some weird shit on the books.[/QUOTE] Yeah, sounds about right. [QUOTE=HumanAbyss;52812761]They have the weirdest insurance system in canada.[/QUOTE] Yup. [QUOTE=HumanAbyss;52812761]They're overall just way different to the rest of the country.[/QUOTE] Can't deny that. [QUOTE=HumanAbyss;52812761]Quebec is the worst place to live in Canada.[/QUOTE] now hold the fuc upp

Disregarding the ridiculous ticket, talk about a monumental waste of police time. Surely officers have more pressing concerns than policing if people are making an acceptable amount of noise in their own car.

[QUOTE=Zero-Point;52812539]Lots of places have stupid laws. Apparantley, here in New Mexico, if you're released from prison and you request a horse and a gun, they HAVE to give them to you. I've even heard that someone actually pulled through with it, too. :v:[/QUOTE] oh I'm totally going to try to go to jail in new mexico now

Apparently the man became extremely aggressive with the cops and pretty much told them to fuck off. That's why he got a ticket. [QUOTE=HumanAbyss;52812761]Yes this is stupid.

first thing I thought of was that scene from Click where terry crews in singing in traffic before getting muted [editline]24th October 2017[/editline] [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LE5MS851U3E[/media] this scene

Of course it's Quebec's weird bylaws. Wouldn't be surprised if its due to that whole ticket quota police officers need to fill per day, unless they changed that. They love to pull you over for the dumbest stuff while some other passes by doing worse. This province really loves to do everything to be the really special snowflake.

Doesn't every other light work well enough for colorblind people? It's not like some places change the order, expect for where those are used. If a colorblind person saw these for the first time it would make no sense, cause they are different than any other place. Seems pretty silly
