This is why you fight every ticket, my late Uncle "a Justice" once told me that fighting a tricket cost the government in the order of 500$, your 150$ fine and upped insurance can't recover that for them. if 10% of the tickets were fought you would bankrupt the system in a month.

There is no money in catching crimminals, but lots of money catching the working stiff exceeding the speed limit.

Cat I think that mentality is throughout the Federal Government.
Have you ever noticed that when you clear customs in the U.S they want to know who you are and what are you doing in the states.
In Canada, the customs agent only wants to know what you bought outside Canada and what duties may be owing on said item.
Revenue is all they care about and there is more money in speeding tickets rather than catching criminals.

To Croissant Wrench.
Yes, I have names. I also have written evidence, signed by them (TC management).
Firstly, I cannot post them on Avcanada, as you should well know.
Secondly, innocent people would suffer if I did.
Thirdly, since you live in Hull, you probably work at TC.
SO, my questions for you are:
1.) Are you, truly, an honest person?
2.) Do you have integrity?
3.) Would you act in the spirit of truth, democratic process, in accordance with the CARS, the Civil Service Code (and all the other rules which civil servants are subjected to)? This would mean seeing some of your bosses fired, you should be warned.
If you can answer all of these questions in the affirmative, I might consider putting all of the information in your hands, for determined corrective action.
If you answer only one question in the negative, or even have a doubt, then you are part of the problem, not part of the solution.
In the meantime, I will wait my time.

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no
After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.

Been flying flying for 36 years and have never been asked for my licence or been checked in any way discounting rides of course.
I do have funny story about an enforcement visit to our operation many years ago in the 70's
Two Transport guys (one ex mountie) walk in the office and present their credentials to our manager. They're crafty and do a little snooping discovering the log book to one of the aircraft thats out flying is sitting by the cash register. They inquire to the aircrafts whereabouts and the manager says she is expecting its arrival shortly. (All our log books were protected by an aluminium cover that is so common now days.)
They ask what slip the aircraft would be using and are told, so they decide their best course of action would be to go out on it to wait it's arrival.
Meanwhile our manager who was wise to these guys called me in the office. She handed me the aircraft journey log and told me to take the truck and wait for twin beech CF-R-- at the five mile dock out of town. She put the book in an aluminium binder that belonged to another of our aircraft and instructed me to tell the pilot to have it filled out before he gets to the our dock.
She then made contact with CF-R-- on unicom and told the pilot to land at the 5 mile dock before coming to base. The two enforcement guys are none the wiser.
Long story short I handed him his log book told him that enforcement had a reception waiting for him. He decided to unload a little gear and two of his 6 passengers just to be on the safe side, I carried them back to the base in the truck. He took off for home. By the time I'd returned to base with the two passengers and gear the whole thing was over. Later that day when it was safe to talk, CF-R--'s pilot told me the look on both inspectors faces was priceless. I guess they were so eager to make a bust they couldn't wait to see the aircraft unloaded. As soon as the gang plank went down they boarded the aircaft waving their badges told everyone to remain seated and demanded the journey log. Of course it was filled out perfectly and the load was legal.
The next year that same pilot joined the ranks of Transport Canada. He's about to retire soon and from what I've heard about his career, he's well respected and is one of the good guys.
