Twice in the past week I've seen cops parked behind cars on the side of the Queensway. I assume they're giving tickets for some kind of traffic infraction.

It's glorious.

I don’t believe you.

It's possible something unrelated to traffic enforcement was happening. More sex on duty? I dunno. I'm hoping for the best.

Is there a 1 law blitz going on so they can look more productive than they truly are?

Hopefully they are busting people on their phones while driving. It’s absurd how many people do it now, and it’s glaringly obvious that they are doing it.

It seems like it's everyone these days. I always look at other people at a stoplight and see at least one person every time I'm out.

On my daily commute I see dozens.

Must have bought the last of their favourite donut and now they’re after it.
