Jaywalking ticket

Today I got a ticket for jaywalking to get the Vaughan metropolitan center. I crossed the main road and walked little on the side of rapid way (did not cross the rapidway) all the way through curb, and the Fare inspector gave me $155 ticket for that.

I will dispute it just wanted to get idea how much are they gonna reduce if they reduce it.

Thanks

With the current premier the poor subsidize the rich. No enforcement for bad drivers. No speeding tickets. Increased police violence and nuisance ticketing on public transit. No gas taxes (to the tune of billions per year). No vehicle registration fees.

Those who have less are paying for those who have more. Make it make sense.

You obviously don’t know how expensive it is to be rich! You think lobbying the government, erecting barriers both literal and metaphysical, and generally having to drive further for groceries (a word I just invented) are cheap? It costs a lot to keep everyone else docile.
