I lived on 6th ave and 10st and always travelled that route to the NW; the cops are their often. Never got a ticket their but once I slowed down late but was still under 50km/h when I hit the speed sign, no problem however I got the no-no finger wave from the cop. I've never been in trouble with the law in my life but stuff like that made me really hate cops.

No big deal since I don't live in Calgary anymore but it is too bad the CPS gets such a free pass with their behavior/budget (not in reference to my specific experience above but in reference to my last 10yrs in the city)
