Dear editor:
I went to the courthouse in late March because I wanted to talk with the judge but, as I found out, the judge doesn’t talk to anybody.
My next choice was to talk to the Crown attorney but, as I found out, the Crown attorney doesn’t talk to anybody, either. However, the Crown attorney’s secretary came out and asked me what I wanted.
So I told her that in April I’ll be committing a crime. My vehicle’s insurance will expire and I don’t have the money to pay for it, and because driving is a necessity in this part of the world, I’ll be breaking the law.
By the look of shock on her face, I knew that nothing like this had ever happened in the courthouse before.
She made some phone calls and came back with the answer that there is nothing that can be done, legally, because the crime hadn’t happened.
My next stop was the OPP office. I stated the same situation to the OPP officer and again the answer was the same—“no crime, no time” so to speak.
Needless to say that the OPP officer also was surprised at my action and I was “evaluated” in the background during the conversation. I am sure that nothing like this ever happened there, either.
Somebody giving himself up for a crime that hadn’t happened yet—and giving notice of it? Unheard of! Something must be “wrong” with this guy.
These reactions of the authority figures showed me the sad state of the legal system and of society. The authorities are shocked by “honesty/truth.” Isn’t that something!
At this point in time, I request from the authorities to submit the law, act, or statute—for printing in this newspaper for everyone to see—which states that the people of Ontario must have automobile/vehicle insurance. Thank you.
Signed,
Andrew Szell
