Cops to Force Drunk Drivers to Listen to Nickelback

[Prick]

That would be painful. Fine, you win, will never ever drink and drive.

[h=2]A unique form of punishment[/h]Talk about cruel and unusual punishment. The Kensington Police on Prince Edward Island have come up with a unique form of cracking down on drunk driving — by promising to make inebriated drivers listen to oft-maligned Canadian rock band Nickelback on the ride to jail.

In a Facebook post published last Saturday, the police cautioned residents from allowing holiday parties to impair their judgment, telling drunk drivers that “when we catch you, and we will catch you, on top of a hefty fine, a criminal charge and a years driving suspension we will also provide you with a bonus gift of playing the office’s copy of Nickelback in the cruiser on the way to jail.”

To drive the point home, the Kensington police included a photo of Nickelback’s 2001 album, “Silver Side Up,” before closing with one last ominous statement.
“Now, now, no need to thank us, we figure if you are foolish enough to get behind the wheel after drinking then a little Chad Kroeger and the boys is the perfect gift for you.”

If you are American, the Canadian border guards may or may not permit you to enter Canada if you've had a U.S. American dui.

Depending on what kind of mood the border guard is in, they could turn you around. In Canada we don't call it "dui", it's called "impaired driving".

Impaired driving is a criminal code offence in Canadia. So, forget aboot driving in Canadia, you may not even be permitted entry.

It could have been worse if the had to listen to Bieber songs.

What's wrong with Nickleback?

If I were drunk and in the back of a police car, and they played Bieber, I will likely throw up. So I guess I better not get drunk!

Bitch should've gotten life for openly bragging about it.



She had previously bragged about drinking and driving on social media.

Durham people get it.

Durham Regional Police’s name and shame program for impaired driving may be gaining legs with some GTA law agencies and is being discredited by others.

“It’s one of the tools we use to discourage drinking and driving. We have no statistics to point to say how effective it is, but these are serious criminal charges and we have been asked to release names. So we do,” said Durham police spokesman Dave Selby.

Durham posts the names of drivers who are charged with impaired driving on its website.

Selby said a number of the people that have been identified since the program started a decade ago are repeat impaired drivers.

“Since we have been publishing on the website, we have had a number of calls from neighbours of people who are on suspension (for impaired offences) that they are getting behind the wheel.”

Durham is the only department in the GTA to have a name and shame program, but the Niagara Regional Police Service has been running a similar year-round initiative since 2013.

“We feel it is a deterrent and a way to educate people on the consequences and costs of impaired driving,” said Const. Virginia Moir.
York Regional Police are open to the idea.

“We have definitely talked about it. It’s not out of the realm and we may do it at some point,” said York Const. Andy Pattenden.
Toronto Police Services has discussed such programs, said Sgt. Brett Moore, with the force’s traffic services division.

“There are a couple of programs out there — like whiskey plates — where someone convicted of impaired driving would get a special licence plate, but we never got into that,” Moore said.

Toronto police spokesman Mark Pugash added it’s not in the force’s mandate.
“You can’t make a sliding scale for the seriousness of an offence,” Pugash said, adding forces don’t put out the names of everyone charged with sexual assault.
Once a person has been charged with an offence and their name appears on a court documents it is public information.

Media routinely report the names of people arrested and charged with crimes although they still have the presumption of innocence.
Critics say name and shame shouldn’t be used unless they are found guilty.

Peel Regional Police Const. Bancroft Wright said the force lets the court process deal with those charged.
MADD Canada doesn’t endorse or discourage such programs, said CEO Andrew Murie.

“No one has ever measured it to see if it works.” Murie said.

“We know that the decision to drink and drive is made because people think they won’t get caught.”

Statistics available from some GTA police services:

•Toronto Police made 1,390 impaired driving arrests in 2016 compared to 1,371 in 2015. In 2016, 87 of the impaired arrests were drug related and in 2015, 29 of the arrests involved drugs.

•During the seven-week RIDE program in Durham for 2016, officers laid 99 charges for drinking and driving offences compared to 118 charges in 2015.
•York Regional Police charged 1,626 drivers in 2016 compared to 1,695 in 2015.
