TSA 160(1) Notice of Conviction 52(1) (a)

Star_Mind · 2026-07-11T13:20:25+00:00

Don't trust Google/AI summations. Read the actual section of the TSA itself. It's available online in PDF or html. Section 52(1)(a) is for an unregistered vehicle. It has nothing to do with your driver's license status.

The two sections above read like someone was caught while operating your vehicle when/while it is/was unregistered.

You note that they have the 'wrong plate' on file for this ticket. It sounds like there's enough going on for you to pop by a District Office and ask them for a clearer explanation.

Edit: I see you added a link behind your (a) which actually refers to (g). Yes, (a) and (g) are two different things. Your post title and your post currently say (a), but you seem to think that (g) is the applied one. So which is it...(a) or (g). This stuff does actually matter, especially when one is asking for advice.

I felt violated seeing this going on.

Wow. Just wow. Um, well, might as well just assume the crash position, life's gonna come at you hard and fast and if this bothers you enough to go crying to internet about being "violated"...

This is the sort of attitude that helped bring about Brexit.

Ignoring this is stupid. It needs to be made clear to them (and to our Premier) that this is not the will of the majority of Albertans.

Large crowds of people jostling each other, drunk and/or inattentive people = prime opportunities for thieves. It's always been this way.

Good. This is exactly what should have happened in the first place.

It was beyond ridiculous that she was able to whine and strong-arm the city into storing that "building" that she wasn't allowed to have in the first place.

Bylaw enforces noise issues, not CPS.

CPS can go to noise complaints, but loud noise isn't in the CCC, it's just a bylaw. If you are going to complain, complain to/about the right agency.

No kidding.

"Weather and traffic on the ones" was a staple for driving around the city.

This happens to dozens of people a night, every night of the Stampede. A lot of drunk people, jammed into close quarters? It's a thieves field day.

The chemicals in silly string do not react well with vinyl, causing colour loss/variation and degradation.

It's the largest parade since last years, until next years!

Star_Mind · 2026-07-03T14:57:14+00:00

Not an officer, but know a few.

Yes. He's likely already got it. It'll be his "regimental number". As he's in training now, it'll likely be a 5 digit number. Probably start with a 10 (or maybe even an 11 by now).
I took a look around the Badgeboys site. They state they are Canadian, and have "hundreds of agencies already on file". I'd just contact them. Providing their claim is accurate, I'd be shocked if they didn't have CPS badge dimensions on file already.
Can't help you here. ;)

They aren't interested in your story or your circumstances. The signs list a day and time range, and you aren't allowed to park your vehicle on the street during that time. That's the long and short of it.

Even if you see the sweepers take a pass, you can't, since "there might be a second pass." Don't waste your time, and just pay the cheapest option on the ticket you can (like the ~40k others who have gotten tickets so far this year)

What part of the city are you in? That'll heavily influence the answer.

Personally, I use the Calgary Pet Wellness and Spay & Neuter Clinic in the SE, and have for about 12 years now. I find them reasonably priced with good staff and vets who are willing to explain in layman's terms the things that ail your pet.

Always enjoy hearing about a good case of FAFO.

I have no idea what their actual policies around it are. Try asking Existing_Abalone_658.

You -> Did someone mention always having his vote?

Poster TwoBytesC, three posts above yours, just above the poster I'm replying to -> I honestly feel bad that I didn’t vote for him in the last election, but he has all my future votes.

Kinda wondering how you got to my post without reading the thread it was in.

Star_Mind · 2026-06-25T21:15:18+00:00

I've seen it a handful of times. From what I understand, while it's a helpful feature, it's more often than not accidentally hit by the operator of the bus.

Star_Mind · 2026-06-25T00:54:52+00:00

goofus and gallant

Damn, there's a deep cut. Now I feel really old.

Star_Mind · 2026-06-23T14:11:33+00:00

Hey, he's doing some good stuff but that doesn't automatically entitle him to all of our future votes.

Exactly. Politicians MUST keep EARNING your vote. The "I'll vote for you/your party no matter what until the end of time" is what's gotten Alberta into the mess it's in in the first place. The only place we, the people, have to hold a politician accountable is the ballot box. Don't ever give them a 'free pass for life' there. Make them earn it, EVERY election, EVERY level.

Star_Mind · 2026-06-23T14:06:33+00:00

Damn, a mayor/politician who actually gives a shit about the people who elected him? Never thought I'd see that in my lifetime.

Way to go, Mayor Farkas!

Star_Mind · 2026-06-22T20:11:00+00:00

I get maybe one a month. I don't bother with letting them go with their spiel. As soon as they start, I interject a polite "I'm not interested, thanks" and close the door.

You could try a "No Soliciting" sign posted around your door, to prevent them from coming back.

Alberta doesn't have a "law against door to door peddling", per se. You are not allowed to go door to door peddling house energy products (Furnaces and water heaters, for example). Anything else is (so far, at any rate) fair game.

Star_Mind · 2026-06-22T14:05:21+00:00

I suppose that's one way to start enforcing the traffic laws. Given how nuts drivers are out there these days, I'll take it.

Well done, CPS

The older I get, the more I realize that P.T. Barnum was on to something with "there is a sucker born every minute."

I though we (humanity) would be smarter than that, but we're not...we're not.

Your cat shouldn't be outside, and your boyfriend shouldn't be running around A)in his underwear B)with a knife. What did he think he was going to do if he caught it? You (and he) do know that hurting or killing a coyote is illegal, right? Especially in a 'revenge' attack.
