The Editor,
Re: "Cops cruel for ticketing tourists," the Now letters, June 5.
I cannot believe Jennifer Jilks had the audacity to write and complain about the speeding ticket she received while on vacation here.
Jennifer, I have a question for you. Just because you "spend thousands of dollars in our part of the world," does that give you the right to speed through a playground zone? If I spend money in Maui, I guess that means I should be given immunity for any speeding tickets? I guess when I go on vacation anywhere, I should only receive warnings since I am spending money in that part of the world?
Good for Surrey RCMP for enforcing a playground zone, where so many people forget to slow down. I am sure the $196 ticket is better than having the Surrey RCMP attend for picking up a child off the road.
Thank you, Surrey RCMP, for enforcing the rules - regardless if you live in B.C. or not.
