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.

Well, unless the 407 can prove that your vehicle was being driven, it really should be tough luck for them.

It's not up to someone to prove they did not drive on the 407.

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?

Have you been to Canada before? The government is run by private entities
