said by sm5w2:But in an era of obnoxiously high police salaries, could this be the thin edge of the HTA enforcement edge that sees the MTO as becoming the "police" of the highways - with the real cops deployed and employed to do what they are trained and paid to do - which is enforce the criminal code, investigate and prevent crime, property damage, theft in urban and rural neighborhoods, etc?
Unlikely. The MTO has their hands full with commercial enforcement. The only time I have seen this done was when New Brunswick created the NB Highway Patrol out of their commercial vehicle enforcement officers. They were eventually subsumed into the RCMP, which polices New Brunswick.
