I wonder how Barrie will handle this .
They are a strange town .
So many bylaws most have no idea . My son had a car he was restoring kept it in his Garage and moved it out side to work on it . he got a fine in the mail for having a car with no plates . $200;00 I think .
He protested and said it is an old car and I can not get plates until it is roadworthy.
To bad themes the rules . He asked how to protest and was told To bad themes the rules Plate it or get more tickets.
He paid the fine and got rid of the car.
He is far from Happy with the town of Barrie.

That sure is strange, given the fact that one has the right to appeal to the courts for relief.

For instance. I am having problems with a neighbour who lets their dog bark through the nite hours contrary to the by-law. The by-law enforcement will not lay charges unless I keep a log of the hours the dog is barking. Because they will not be able to get a conviction. I have had to resort to calling the offending party during the early morning hours and waking them to tell them to keep the dog quiet.

As to an old car, your son should have registered an appeal. I don't know how you can get plates for a vehicle unless certified to be road worthy by a Certified Licence Mechanic.

This is nothing but a tax renvenue for Barrie. I also doubt they have adequate resources to enforce it. Many by-laws are broken daily by residents of municipalities and nothing is enforced until someone complains. Even then if fine imposed they have to catch you in the act and then you can appeal, that is due process, you can't circumvent due process.

Dog Barking I had the same difficulty and I took a tape recording and talked into the tape giving the time and Date. Took a copy to the town and they then sent a letter to the offender and we got it fixed .

That's scary. That would be totally inadmissable in U.S. as who knows what dog you had barking while you were talking into the tape. How absurd and unfair.

The by-law people have been there numerous times. The person with the dog is a lawyer. I guess she figures she doesn't have to comply with by-laws. I guess I will have to continue to waken them in early hours by phoning them and interrupting their sleep like their dogs bark does with me.

Have also called the SPCA because I saw their dog on the road and it was emaciated.

I really do not care much one way or another about licensing in general. However, I would rather not see it a the municipal level in any form (even a business licence). I have absolutely no intention of jumping through the varying hoops in every municipality I work in. Different regulations and requirements in each municipality, if it should come to that, is too much to keep track of. One province, one regulation.

Well if they tried it here in Caledon, I would not run out and apply. I also don't have any markings on my car indicating I am a home inspection company. Find me if you can!

Tax grab!

I don't know if you were replying to me or not. However, I was referring to the fact that the dog on the tape could be any dog and someone taping and then using that to bolster their case could be falsifying information. There is no way to verify whether or not they are telling the truth, therefore it would be hearsay in court.

[rwand1]

Thats why you have to keep a log. The recording would substantiate the recording alternatively a witness would suffice.

A little 'ex-lax' over the fence? Owners learn in a hurry I'd bet.

Health Deteriorates as Emotional Distress is Fostered and Functioning is Impaired
This link will take you to the index of a website that features noise-related information provided by the World Health Organization. Once there, click on Adverse health effects of noise. There you will learn that intrusive sound, like that of a barking dog, constitutes a potent stress or that can result in increased blood pressure, essential hypertension, increased heart rate, ischemic heart disease, headaches, nausea, an altered blood flow, changes in blood viscosity and blood lipids, and shifts in electrolyte balance, along with elevations in gastrointestinal motility. In addition, according to WHO, exposure to noise increases drug use, fosters substance abuse, and promotes anxiety, stress, irritability, depression, aggression, interpersonal conflict, Diarrhea, and sexual impotency.
