Calgary photo radar tickets being delivered via couriers due to Canada Post strike
Global News
Calgary police are ensuring speeders continue to receive their photo radar tickets in spite of the Canada Post strike, with couriers are delivering 19,500 notices since Nov 15.
As the strike between Canada Post and its workers continues, some unwanted pieces of mail are still making there way to people’s doorsteps.
After getting a knock on her front door a few nights ago, Lindsay Lagimodire thought at first, the photo radar ticket was a scam.
“I got a knock on my door at about 8:45 p.m.,” explained Lagimodire. “And it was a speeding ticket taped to my front door!”
She isn’t alone.
Since Nov. 15, the Calgary Police Service says its issued 19,500 speeding tickets to lead-footed drivers across Calgary and the surrounding area.
This isn’t the first time Canada Post has gone on strike and Alison Turgeon, a supervisor with CPS, said they were quick to get the necessary motions granted to keep tickets flowing.
“We actually went to the courts and we sought out a court order,” Turgeon said. “So we would be able to serve these tickets via courier, and that was granted Nov. 14.”
Tickets are mailed to the address the offending vehicle is registered too, so Turgeon says if you get a ticket delivered that doesn’t belong to you? Treat it like another piece of mis-delivered mail.
