Sean Shapiro

#stitch with @TikTokCanada user “hyundai.elantra89“ This is one of those moments where many in his comments section got it completely wrong. Yet he’s absolutely right. In Ontario, a left turn from a one-way to a one-way street is legal, unless posted otherwise. Simple rule. Widely misunderstood. I’m Sean Shapiro, former police officer. I talk traffic law, safety, and police reality. Follow for real answers, not comment section guesses. And yeah, when someone gets it right, I’m backing them. #Ontario #Toronto #Police #ASKaTrafficCOP @diamond_lawyers @AccountantTI

This might be my favourite Chuck Norris post since hearing of his passing. So thank you @PelhamNHPolice Department for the post. Growing up, I read about Chuck Norris in @Black_Belt_Mag Black Belt Magazine and eventually trained in martial arts myself. He and Bruce Lee were legends to me. Before I ever wanted to be a cop, I probably wanted to be Chuck Norris. Sad to hear the news. Proud to have shared one thing in common, we both wore a badge… Even if he would’ve kicked my butt without breaking a sweat. RIP

I agree that cameras are an amazing tool and of course support their use. That said I know that nothing is better than a police officer issuing a ticket that impacts your licence and insurance. The congestion caused by stopping a violator acts as a great visual warning to others that police are out conducting enforcement.

@VoiceoverCop @ASKaTrafficCop Distributing speeding ticket should not be a job for police officers making 6 figure incomes. It is more efficiently handled by cameras with added benefits of leaving no margin for racial/income profiling, no congestion from stopped cars on the road and no informal discretion.

Why aren’t there cops on the highways when people are doing 60 or 70? This question came up during the March 11 #ASKaTrafficCOP After Dark livestream, and I had to clarify something first… Do you mean 60 or 70 km/h total, or 60 to 70 over the speed limit? Because those are two completely different problems. If you’re talking about 60 to 70 km/h on a highway, that’s dangerously slow. If you’re talking about 60 to 70 over the limit, that’s extremely dangerous speeding. Either way, the bigger issue is this: There aren’t enough officers on the road to catch everything. Highway enforcement depends on available resources, and officers are balancing collisions, calls for service, and proactive patrol. That means not every dangerous driver gets stopped, even when they should. That doesn’t make it okay. It just reflects the reality of staffing and priorities. I’ve always believed we need more officers focused on traffic safety, with an emphasis on: • Enforcement that changes behaviour • Education through enforcement • Preventing collisions before they happen Because the goal isn’t just tickets. The goal is safer highways. If you’ve got questions about traffic law, policing, or road safety, join me during the livestream or drop your question in the comments.

Just found out that @eddiebauer is closing all its stores in North America! I’m sad to see them go but was also buying everything in my size at their store today.

I love it when the bad guys get caught and held accountable. 👍 I also like slowing bad guys down with window film home fortification products from ClearGuard.ca

@shumway_gord I didn’t make a comment I answered someone’s question. Here’s what I said.

@VoiceoverCop I actually resent your comment about American police departments being more corrupt than canadian?

@shumway_gord My comment?

Are Canadian police as corrupt as American police? This question came up during the March 11 #ASKaTrafficCOP After Dark livestream, and it’s one people ask more often than you’d think. Here’s the reality. Corruption exists everywhere. Not just in policing, but in every profession, including doctors, lawyers, accountants, and even judges. The difference is how it’s handled. In policing, there are systems in place to identify misconduct, investigate it, and hold people accountable. When wrongdoing happens, it should be addressed, and it usually is. But it’s important to keep perspective. The overwhelming majority of police officers, I’m talking 99.999999%, are good people trying to help other people. They show up every day to do a difficult job and serve their communities. One bad example doesn’t define an entire profession.

🚨 My @Wise Card Was Never Used… And Still Got Hit With Fraud Let me walk you through this, because this is how it actually happens. March 3rd, my card gets “tested.” March 15th, tested again. March 17th, tested… then charged. Small amounts in Saudi currency (SAR). A few dollars at a time. Here’s the problem… I’ve NEVER used this card. Never shared it. Never lost it. And somehow, someone still got the number. That means this isn’t about being careless. This is about data leaks, breaches, or criminality. And when I reported it? I was told to contact the vendor… in Saudi Arabia. No. That’s fraud. 💡 Pay attention to the warning signs: • $0 transactions • Small foreign charges • Repeated “test” activity over time That’s them checking if your card is alive before they go bigger. I caught it early. If you don’t, the next charge won’t be $3. Stay sharp. #ASKaTrafficCOP #FraudAlert #ScamAwareness #CardFraud #OnlineSafety

Tuesday #ASKaTrafficCOP for March 17, 2026 x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

I’m at the National Home Show today, March 14, 2026, at the Enercare Centre in Toronto, and I’ll be here until 4 p.m. If you’re at the show, come by and say hello. Today I’m representing ClearGuard Home Security Film, and we’re talking about something that matters to every family, how secure is your home? Your windows are often the most vulnerable point of entry. ClearGuard security film helps reinforce your glass, making it much harder for someone to break through and get inside. It’s a simple way to add an extra layer of protection so you and your family can sleep more comfortably at night. If you’re visiting the show, stop by the ClearGuard booth, say hello, and let’s talk about home security and ways to better protect your home and the people inside it. Hope to see you here!

Can you drive a Tesla using Full Self-Driving while drunk or high? This question came from Dushyant, an insurance broker who regularly brings great questions to the livestream. In this clip from the March 11 #ASKaTrafficCOP After Dark livestream, we break down a common misconception about Tesla’s Full Self-Driving system and the law. Despite the name, Tesla’s Full Self-Driving is not legally autonomous driving. The system still requires a fully licensed, sober driver who is responsible for the vehicle at all times. That means if someone is sitting behind the wheel while impaired by alcohol or drugs, they can absolutely be criminally charged with impaired driving. We also talk about a few important points many people overlook: • The driver remains legally responsible for everything the vehicle does • You must be capable of taking over control immediately • Even supervising a G1 learner driver requires a BAC under .05 in Ontario • The registered owner could face civil liability if they knowingly allow someone impaired to drive their vehicle • Insurance may refuse coverage if a collision occurs Technology doesn’t change the fundamentals of responsibility on the road.

@JASONHA17381011 @ASKaTrafficCop If 140 is the flow of traffic we have a much bigger problem… Slower speed zones only require going 40kmh over the limit in order to trigger stunt charges. That said there are many other ways to catch a stunt charge.

@VoiceoverCop @ASKaTrafficCop I’ve always felt that it should be more about the percentage. For example, if you’re in a 50, doing 90, that’s ridiculous. Whereas I’ve seen stretches of highway where 140 is just the flow of traffic, so is 150 really much of a stunt in that situation?

What happens if you drive 50 km/h over the speed limit in Ontario? In this clip from the March 11 #ASKaTrafficCOP After Dark livestream, I explain exactly what happens when someone is caught going that fast and why the consequences are so serious. Driving 50 km/h over the limit is considered stunt driving under Ontario law. That means immediate roadside penalties before you even see a courtroom. In this video we talk about: • Immediate roadside licence suspension • Vehicle impoundment • Court consequences if convicted For a first conviction, the penalties can include: • $2,000 to $10,000 fine • 1 to 3 year driving prohibition • Up to 6 months in jail And the penalties get even more serious for repeat offences. Something many drivers don’t realize is that 50 over is not the only way to be charged with stunt driving. In some speed zones, 40 km/h over the limit can also qualify, and there are several other behaviours that can lead to the same charge.

@GuyColson1 @ASKaTrafficCop If the courts would support it, I would support it too. Sadly, I think it was attempted, and it resulted in some unwanted lawsuits.

@VoiceoverCop @ASKaTrafficCop Very clear. I would add that we should start crushing cars, similar to what they seem to do in Australia. Ballistic missiles should not be let roaming free on our roads and streets.
