Because then can and they know that most women wont do or say anything which in my opinion is completely wrong.

Answer 3

SomeOPP as in any occupation are really abusive of their powers. I am a commercial Transport Driver who has travelled all over Canada extensively. I never seem to have any problems except when it comes to Ontario and the OPP. I think mainly it is due to the unwillingness on the part of the OPP to deal in good faith with other motorists. As an example, I was travelling along the 401 coming up to Barrie. I was in the township of Springfield and suffered a blowout on a tire. I pulled over safely onto the shoulder of the highway and called our on-call tire service centre in Burnaby BC, who made some calls for me and had somebody coming out to help me. During this time waiting an OPP officer arrived and the he didn't ask me if I was okay, didn't ask me if I had help coming although I volunteered that help was on the way to change my tire from Barrie. All he wanted was to see my Driver's Licence, Registration, my Logbook, and my CVOR number. (The rule was changed in January of that year that all out of province carriers were not required to carry a CVOR, but could give any DOT inspector or OPP the numbers)...so when I explained to the officer that I didn't have the CVOR, but I gave him the numbers he made a big deal about it and said I was required to carry a copy of the CVOR. I told him the law had been changed. He didn't believe it and I gave him the number to my safety supervisor and yet he still gave me a ticket. Regardless a year later I was sent a notice that I was to appear in court...after I left that company and three months late for my court date. I eventually found out that the charge had been withdrawn because of the safety officers letter from the Minister of Transport stating that we were not required to carry the CVOR, but the bottom line is that even the OPP don't always know the laws even though they can hand out tickets. So you are not alone when it comes to the attitudes of the OPP and their unwillingness to work things out in a cooperative manner. Hope this helps.
