Not just hogwash - this morning on #Hwy401 by #Maitland , #GrenvilleOPP officers went into rescue mode to save this little guy before a ham-bulance was needed… He couldn’t say where he came from, must have ham-nesia. Gave him a piggyback ride to the office while we find home. ^dh

An awkward conversation to have with a friend: you borrow their Lamborghini then lose it for 7 days in another province because you drove it twice the speed limit AND nearly rear-end a police cruiser... #LACOPP #OPP #Hwy401 #notanawesomefriend

This driver thought it would be a good idea to pretend to be their sibling... because their licence is suspended. #OPPTIME officer was a step ahead - Driver was also charged criminally for identity fraud & obstructing a peace officer. @RenfrewCounty . ^dh
