Canada Revenue Agency now Collects Parking Tickets? :CRA SOTW

Provinces, cities track down unpaid tickets
By Peter Rakobowchuk, THE CANADIAN PRESS


MONTREAL — Canadian motorists who think they can ignore old speeding
or parking tickets shouldn’t get too comfortable.

Tickets from years past can come back to haunt scofflaw drivers in the
form of much higher fines.

“We have some people we have been going after who have in excess of 50
outstanding tickets,” says Steve Jackson, executive-director of the
claims and recoveries program of the Alberta Justice Department.

Jackson says his department tracks down unpaid fines that are more
than one year old and registers the offender with the Canada Revenue
Agency.

“We’re allowed to intercept their income tax refunds and the GST
rebates.”

Jackson says he’s gone after offenders across Canada and the United
States and advised them their income tax return will be redirected
until their outstanding debt is settled.

“You could have people who are living in the U.S. temporarily who are
still deemed to be Canadian and are filing Canadian income taxes,” he
said.

Jackson noted that one motorist had 57 outstanding tickets over a five-
year period which included speeding, driving an unregistered vehicle
and driving with a suspended licence.

The man was eventually incarcerated when authorities caught up with
him.

Jackson recalled another case last year when a father came in to pay
his daughter’s fines, which totalled more than $5,000.

Pietro Macera, a bailiff who collects unpaid fines for the City of
Montreal, says a five-year statute of limitations on outstanding fines
can be renewed.

“Whether it’s a civil matter, a ticket matter, a criminal matter, it’s
gonna catch up to you,” he said in an interview.

Macera, 50, says any unpaid fines will stay in a town or city’s
computer system.

“So you’re driving and you get grabbed by the police for speeding, or
a red light, or a burned-out light — well that day is not your lucky
day, especially if you’ve ignored that $100 speeding ticket.”
Macera says the ticket can end up costing $500 with court costs and
other fees that have been tacked on along the way.

In some courts in Nova Scotia, motorists who require extensions to pay
a fine will appear before a justice of the peace to discuss payment
options.

But if a fine is past due and without payment for six months, it will
be referred automatically to Service Nova Scotia and Municipal
Relations for collection action.

There are no extensions on fines that have been referred for
collection and a motorist can’t renew his licence or registration
until the outstanding fine is paid up.

In Ontario, overdue fines may not be such a big problem — in fact,
some motorists have even ended up paying twice.

Rolly Riopel, runs POINTTS, a Barrie, Ont., firm that provides legal
representation for people who want to fight their traffic violations.

He says “hundreds, maybe thousands” of Ontarians may have paid overdue
traffic fines to both the province and their local municipality.

The Ontario government transferred enforcement of provincial offences
to municipalities between 1999 and 2002 and many hired collection
agencies to go after outstanding fines.

Over a five-year period, at least 50 motorists have come into Riopel’s
office to complain they had already paid the province but were still
being chased down by local municipalities.

“The only thing I could say is either you have a receipt or you
don’t,” he said in an interview.
“If you’ve got a receipt, no problem, (but) if you haven’t got a
receipt, you have to pay it again.”
Riopel, 62, says most of his regular clients are first-time offenders,
who are worried about losing their licence, points and insurance
premiums.

“They want to try to keep their record as clean as possible,” he
said.

But the former Ontario Provincial Police officer says he’s noticed
fewer people have been coming to him for help in recent years.

“Either people are paying their fines or they’ve caught up to
everybody who was outstanding,” he said.

Incredible!

I understood that the reason Revenue Canada's name was changed to 'Canada Customs and 
Revenue Agency' was so that the two departments could legally exchange information to 
catch 'all those people on income assistance who were vacationing out of country while 
still collecting benefits'.

Then they decided there weren't enough of them to warrant the merger, and they changed 
their name to 'Canada Revenue Agency'.  Now, if they're sharing information with city 
departments, shouldn't they first have to change their name to 'Canada Revenue and 
Provincial Traffic Ticket Enforcement Agency'?

They also collect from deadbeats who are not paying support for their 
children. The MORE dead beats and other scofflaws that get nailed, the 
better. Ditto for asshole drivers who evade paying their much deserved 
fines.

So my rights are violated because they won't release my $4000 tax return to me because of a $187 fine!!... So now I either have to pay it... Or fly to the other side of the country to fight it!!.... It's a scam like no other brought to you by Harper... I wasn't speeding and the cop even copied my plate wrong!... It's against my rights to seize my assets without a court of law finding me guilty...I am guilty in ABSENCE right now... There's no admission of guilt till its payed!!!!!

So?  You voted for big fat huge authoritarian government manages your 
life government now that your rights have been impinged you complain?

Convince people to vote for smaller government.  Trouble is, in the ruse 
of Canadian democracy the rigged ballot only has government managing 
your life.  No options for commoners to run government, just government 
running you.

In governments eyes, we are all criminals, they just want more of your 
money.  They know like a complacent puppet, you will passively pay the 
bill and move on.

Pay up slave.

for it leave, they can all share having nothing but debt and discontentment.
