Doug Ford doubles down on scrapping speed cameras after police association pushes back

Following a statement from the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police pushing back against his plans to scrap automated speed cameras, Ontario Premier Doug Ford has doubled down on his thoughts that speed traps are simply a “tax grab.” “There’s a million different ways to slow people down, if that’s truly what they want to do,” Ford told reporters Friday in Markdale, Ont.
