This time they have parked at the intersection of Bertha and North Rd so we get stopped coming and going. They are polite, check license, seat belts and take a good look around the car. TPS got ticket for driving without a license but has 10 days to show it to our locals. There are a pile of trucks in the village waiting for the road check to go - makes you wonder. The community Facebook page spotted it early and seems to be divided between people who shrug, that's what the RCMP does; some who feel violated and quite a few who know they cant afford car repairs etc. and definitely cant afford a ticket.

Maybe the RCMP have figured out that a stop site on the sharp bend has two drawbacks - it's unsafe and leaves an "escape" route through Bertha!
