"Oshawa is behind the times in increasing the amount of |fines," says Robert Richardson, |city traffic engineer. 'Most 'other municipalities in the prov- ince have $5 and $10 fines, "And the maximum fines {under the new bylaw in effect |Monday, including the mini- |mum §$1- meter violation fine, is | $25,"" he added. z "People have been taking ad- coming |tentionally stopping or parking "Fines for parking in prohibit- |to ensure safe movement of : Official traffic and reduce conjestion," said the traffic engineer. He said stopping vehicles in prohibited areas (fines increas- ed to $10) are the most serious violations because the areas are designed to aid in movement of traffic, especially in rush-hour routes; and because stopping lessens the safety factor. There are "no stopping" zones at most of the mid-block school crossings on major streets, said Mr. Richardson. "People are ignoring these zones and the biggest offenders are people picking up their chil- dren on rainy days," noted Set. Smyth. "These people are en- dangering the lives of their chil- dren." "No Stopping" violations in- clude: --Vehicles stopping on side- walks; on pedestrian cross- overs; on a bridge or in an un- derpass; double stopping; ob- structing traffic at roadway work site; and stopping in sign- ed "no stopping" zones. "No Parking" violations in- clude: --Vehicles parking within 10 feet of fire hydrants; within 30 feet of intersections; obstruct- ing driveways; parked to dis- play vehicle for sale; parked to wash, grease or repair (unless 2mergency); obstructing exit or entrance to buildings or thea- tres; parking over two hours between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m.; parking within 50 feet of level railroad crossing; obstructing the movement of another ve- hicle; or parked in a signed "no parking" zone.

From this week until the end of May Jaycee spotters will be roving the downtown area looking for acts of courtesy on the roads. Once a week the spotters will compare notes and pick the courtesy driver of the week. The lucky winner will receive a free tank of gas. "We are looking for the safe driver."' Jaycee spokes- man Jim Shaw explained "If we spot a driver let- ting an old lady across the road or performing some other act 'of courtesy the spotter will note the dri- ver's vehicle number.

Club members are making an all out effort to improve road safety in the city. One of the most impor- tant facets of their cam- paign is public awareness. Posters are going up all over the city with road safety slogans. A wrecked car is also be- ing used.

Terence V. Kelly of Oshawa said he was of the impression that the question of a person's basic right to obtain counsel at any time was settled once and for all with the elimination of certain sections of the provincial police bill regarding interroga- tion without counsel and the subsequent resignation of Mr. Cass as Attorney General. "fo reintroduce legislation to give effect to questioning sus- pects without intervention by legal counsel, would, in my opinion," said Mr. Kelly, 'be political suicide on the part of the government introducing such legislation". Gilbert Murdoch of Oshawa said: "The right of a suspected person to immediate advice from the counsel of his choice is invaluable. "Any attempt to deprive a suspected person of. this basic tenet of British justice must be strenuously opposed."' Z. T. Salmers of Oshawa said he intends to suggest a meeting of the local law society. be .call- ed to establish the feeling of the members toward a state- ment of this nature. He said that if persons in custody were not allowed to procure counsel immediately, the next step might be that po- lice could keep a person under interrogation until such time as they did get some statement or confession. "Or, it might progress to the state where a man might not be entitled to -counsel at all until the crown attorney felt po- lice had sufficient time to -drill the suspect to whatever extent volice felt necessary. "This is completely opposed to common law rights," said Mr. Salmers. 'Personally, I am of the opinion that no confession whatever, without first seeking legal advice, should be permit- ted in evidence, having been procured from an accused in custody." Mr. Salmers said that abort- ing an investigation is not ne- cessarily undesirable because | "at least the rights of the ac- cused will be protected".. He said there is always the danger of a false confession being taken through fear and an innocent man being convicted. Hugh O'Connell of Whitby said such a procedure as suggested by Crown Attorney Affleck would deprive a person of a right of counsel just as was the intent of the bill that was withdrawn in the legislature. "Mr. Affleck is a crown at- torney appointed to protect the public and to bring evidence into court in accordance with City Lawyers Slam Statement the law and follow the rules of evidence that are laid down. "His personal ideas are not the law and in my _ opinion, should what he suggests become law, it would set us back more than 100 years." Bruce Mackey of Oshawa was "astounded" by Mr. Affleck's statement. "However," he said, "in view of public reaction against the provisions of Bill. 99 recently before the Ontario Legislature which similarly proposed a vio- lation of Human Civil Liberties, I doubt that such procedure as suggested by Mr. Affleck, will ever occur in this province." George Boychyn, a city law- yer who resides in Whitby, said the suggestion by the crown at- torney struck him as being simi- lar to Bill 99. "IT disagree personally with this,"' he said! "If there is some trend toward this direction as Mr. Affleck suggests, then this trend should be changed."
