Wait, Parks Canada can give Traffic Safety Act tickets? This is news to me. I blow by Park Rangers and bylaw/transit peace officers like a boss.
I thought that while they were considered Peace Officers, like Calgary Bylaw officers, who can technically detain you, they generally don't issue criminal or TSA charges.
edit: wow, interesting. Imagine they don't actually use those powers (both Parks and Bylaw) as they're not trained in it, nor do they have the appropriate tools or qualifications to make any sort of case actually stick.
