The Ontario, Canada Attorney General reports that the province has seized or frozen $15.1 million in assets, including cars accused of street racing.
After the announcement made earlier this month that motorists accused of speeding alone could be charged with street racing, the provincial authority recently released a report celebrating the pecuniary success of its property seizure program. To stress, since 2003, Ontario has taken CAD $15.1 million in property and cash from the accused. The money did not necessarily come from those convicted of crimes.
Last year, in a couple of cases, police seized cash from motorists after police stopped and searched vehicles during a traffic stop. Merely carrying a large amount of cash is sufficient evidence of a crime, allowing police to keep the money, Canada.com reported. The Ontario Provincial Police pocketed $99,000 from a stop near Kirkland Lake and $120,130 in cash from a stop near Marathon.
The Ontario Attorney General’s report also celebrated the crushing of cars on June 16, 2006 by York Regional Police. The drivers of the vehicles were accused of street racing because performance modifications were made. Brakes Canada as well as other auto parts must comply with the requirements of the Canadian law.
“Police say both cars were substantially modified for the purpose of racing with features added to the engine and exhaust to increase power, the vehicles’ road clearance lowered to increase speed and the backseats and interior panels removed to reduce the cars’ weight,” the report stated.
Additional grounds for seizure have been added to the Canadian law. Recent legislative modifications “allow civil courts to impound and order the forfeiture, as instruments of unlawful activity, vehicles used or likely to be used by people who have two or more previous license suspensions related to drinking and driving offenses,” the report explained.
Separately, Ontario earlier started its street racing penalties to motorists who are not racing anybody.
Premier Dalton McGuinty said that being caught driving 50km/h or 31 mph over the speed limit will automatically trigger “street racing” penalties. This will be imposed despite the fact that the accused motorist is driving alone on an otherwise empty road. According to McGuinty, the change in definition will, in effect, turn ordinary speeding into an offense that can carry a $10,000 or US $9305 fine and up to six months in jail. As such, the traffic ticket made it as one of the most costly traffic tickets in North America.
“If you choose to break the law, we consider you a threat to our public safety and you’re going to face stiff penalties,” McGuinty said in a statement.
McGuinty cited in June the importance of fighting the “organized crime” of street racing as he urged passage of the Safer Roads for a Safer Ontario Act which is responsible for the $10,000 penalty. The change in definition also means that the word of a police officer is enough to confiscate a car and driver’s license for at least seven days.
“There is no appeal from, or right to be heard before, a vehicle detention, driver’s license suspension or vehicle impoundment under [the street racing] subsection,” the Safer Roads Act states.
Also, McGuinty also announced a proposal to hire 55 new traffic police officers as well as the upcoming acquisition of a high-tech surveillance airplane in an effort to rack up several of the expensive new fines.

Help answer the question about Auto CAD
Which is better for Costuming Auto CAD or Vectorworks?I'm a costumer that has to take an Auto Cad/ Vector works class in the near future and I'm only allowed to use one. They both are the latest Model and Vector is Spotlight. They both seem equally appealing but I'm mostly a pencil to paper kind of girl. So I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions on which was better.

mik987. With AutoCAD you can either go the Architectural Design route or the Mechanical Design route. I have 10 years experience with AutoCAD and enjoy my job. I just wish I was a master of better paying programs like SolidWorks or Pro-E. Pro-E is the hardest to learn but it pays the most. Lots of people know AutoCAD so companies aren’t going to jump to pay you alot.
nice
Yes. Theoretically, you can take any older version to 2009 and open it there. Just make sure that you only go from old to new, and not visa versa. If you take drawings you made in 2009 to your school computer and try to open them in 2004, it won't work.
To save a 2009 file to 2004 format, just go to save as. Under the drawing name, there is an option in which you can select different versions and formats. Usually its either .dwg, .dwt, and .dxf for years 2007, 2004 and 2000. You'll probably want to stick with the .dwg format, but with year 2004.
AutoCAD works just fine under on Mac hardware. I have AutoCAD 2009 installed on the Boot Camp partition of my Macbook Pro, and it runs like a dream…I don't foresee you having any problems.
However, keep in mind that Autodesk doesn't "officially" support AutoCAD running on any Macintosh platform. That being said, it will run on either Parallels or Boot Camp, whatever your choice. (Assuming that you're using a Mac with an Intel processor).
Yes Autocad has such feature.I can just give u headlines at this time.
U need to learn to make BLOCKS with attributes…( Attribute is a data linked to that block like Part no., price etc. )
Then u need to learn ways of Attribute extraction. yes they can be extracted to Excel format.
So the key words for you to look in help are BLOCK with Attributes, Attribute Extraction. You can do them.
Good Luck!
It would help considerably i would assume
AutoCAD, 3DSMax, Maya etc. are just tools.
Follow the following steps:
OS (enter)
check the box End point ( You can check all if you want.This will help as u advance in Autocad;-) )
Press OK
Now activate line command by
L (enter)
go near the first corner..a small yellow icon will appear saying end point..just click immediately.Then go near the other corner..end point will light up again..just click. Then Enter to complete your line.
(If the end point yellow light does not appear then press F3)
Check under File | Page Setup
Thanks for the information.
Auto Cad is not a career field. It is a tool used by engineers to do their work. It is a skill that should be part of your resume. Getting certification in Auto Cad will provide evidence to future employers that you are adept in using this tool.

good luck!
@justplainmovies
Meh, preferred ur mom.
You should do a search for "CAD freelancer" or just "freelancer" Remember that you'll be competing against the world. There is no "Only USA" web site. One of the advantage of being in the US is, that if a project recruiter wants to sue someone in India for a breech of contract, good luck. As a citizen/resident of the US there are laws that help to provide some relief/remedy to parties that believe they have been wronged. Make sure that when you bid, you bring up this point. It helps to even the playing field.
Good luck.
Meh, preferred ‘09
yeah, macs suck. otherwise why would you be loading windows on it. lol
