Years ago, I was pulled over by police because a wet leaf was stuck on my licence plate. This pic was taken last week near Brantford. Daily, I would say 1/10 plates are illegible. Why is this law not being enforced?

so at what point will a violent incident occur against a cop, and they couldn't ID the car because the plate was illegible? Why is Ontario the only region in North America that allows this? Is this a legal issue over those 3M licence plates that were illegible?

And why is only when its violence against a cop where they would actually start caring? Violence against "civilians" isnt taken with that level of seriousness.

Hit and runs are way up since 2020.

I recently spent time in NB. There isn't very much enforcement there, either.
