What about speeders?

Dear Editor:

I was out to Walmart in Fergus and noticed that a Wellington OPP had a car stationed at the Fergus LCBO, watching who comes out to determine who they will follow and stop to see if they have been drinking. 

I know this because my daughter was stopped outside my house after being there, and questioned about whether she had been drinking and when. She hadn’t been, but was harassed because she stopped to buy something for the weekend.

I live on Sideroad 19, and have personally asked the OPP to set up radar on our street to slow all the speeders down. The answer relayed to me was police can’t spare an officer as they have more important things to do.

Amazing how we can pay an officer $100,000 per year to sit at the liquor store, but not on a residential street posted at 40km/h with constant speeders.
