Not for nothing!!! usually for speeding or even better not "fully" stopping at the STOP sign (when there is nobody there to waiti for) - the later statistacly safest stop (for them) they ever do... and if you add fiscal benefit for "force and country" this is just to hard to resist after the Tim Horton heaven expulsion...

Yes, these calls come on cell phones too.
