When it comes to preventing your plate from being duplicated, Sgt. Schmidt said "there's really nothing you can do," because by the time a driver gets a bill or ticket, their plate has already been cloned.

"You have to clear your name and prevent this from continuing," he said.

A clear and concise "get bent" from the OPP when asked how they intend to address crime.

You'd think so, but this has happened to my dad twice and they wouldn't renew his sticker until he pays up or settles it. Which brings up, why is the government acting as a collection agency for a private entity?

Right in the ~~sale~~lease of the 407. The owners of the 407 can tell the government to suspend ownership renewal until all 407 dues are paid.

Can you imagine if the government refused to renew your documents cause you owe money to Rogers, or home Depot, or Walmart or some shit? It's dystopian and I'm ashamed of my country for allowing it
