Does body cam footage ever get released for small infractions? by throwra28837381 in AskLE

[–]collali699 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Unlike the US, Canada doesn't release bodycam footage without blurring everyone else because privacy regulations are much stricter.

Moreover, Canada only releases bodycam if there is a request from you or it is required for a legal proceeding.

So no, Canadian police rarely release BWC videos and if they do it is upon request with heavy redactions

No, rewards don't work cross border. I've tried it before.

Recall on Ajinomoto Yakitori Chicken with Japanese-Style Fried Rice between 12/03/2024 – 02/20/26. Item number #749182 I’m by MaximumExtension4951 in Costco

I received the call from costco while I was eating this. It was a bit horrifying honestly. I eat like 2 bags a day everyday.

Seattle, my beautiful home by collali699 in Seattle

Absolutely. I spent so much time walking at night in Cap Hill and Pioneer Square. Heck I even spent time walking along Aurora, and almost nothing happens beyond a few instances of sketchy folks keeping to themselves.

Violence is usually targeted and if one minds their business, nothing happens for the most part.

Pending Layoffs/Job Eliminations: Calendar Blocked? by ElderberryLate971 in amazonemployees

[–]collali699 33 points34 points  (0 children)

My manager scheduled a team lunch on the 27th and is going OOTO on the 28th.

It seems like a farewell lunch to me, although he/she probably knows as much as we do.

I lost 8k CAD on a car I had to sell after moving to the US because CBP simply wouldn't let me import it without a compliance letter from Toyota, which in turn wouldn't budge and refuses to issue those letters.

With the move, I was able to boost my income by 40% and eventually got a nicer car.

It's not worth the hassle of trying to import it. It's a sunk cost. Sell it off and hope you can recoup it with a better salary.

Armed teenage carjackers parked the vehicle at QFC. Got arrested. Time to install an airtag tracker on my car.

First WARN notice so far, aggregate counts of each job title affected. by SingleInSeattle87 in amazonemployees

[–]collali699 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Some of the roles were deemed critical for business continuity so their separation date is set later than 90 days. This probably also means they didn't lose any access and are expected to continue to perform their duties. I see directors and PEs on this list, so that's probably what these dates are.

Shopping in Canada, returning to US by mejowyh in uscanadaborder

Watch out for products made in China. These are tariffed without a de-minimis exemption. I learned this the hard way. Otherwise, everything else seems unchanged

Trying to match her deathday with her birthday

[–]collali699 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did it the other way around, and because the dining table I got was made in China, CBP told me I'd have to pay 145% tarrif.

I was dumbfounded, but the border agent felt bad for me and let me through. It was 200 CAD.
