The police won’t do anything about a hit and run in Tim’s parking lot because it’s private property so they shouldn’t be giving tickets in the drive-through lane either

This cops abuse of his/her power is just ridiculous. If this is what he/she thinks is a part of their job and not just abuse of power, then they should find another job. In no way was the accused going 2 to 5 km if that in a drive-thru, a threat to society. The accused is only 18, and due to the lose of dermerit points, the above ticket will cost him a lot more then $500 when his insurance finds out. Maybe he should sue McDonald's, for if it wasn't for their app he wouldn't be in this predicament.

Maybe it is different where he is, but here where I live, if a cop were to try this then the cop would be breaking the law. Going by the laws here, this happened on private property and so the cop can't do anything unless the property owner requests it. And obviously McDonalds didn't request for the cop to do anything. Either they have stupid laws there or that cop is on a power trip and should be put in his place.

Did you not notice the one piece of information that isn't specified is WHERE Mason was when he pulled his phone out? I doubt he was in line at the drive thru when a cop came swinging up and ticketed him. Why didn't anybody else get ticketed? I'm sure there were others in the drive thru line with phone in hand and the McDonald's app open. How would the cop even have known someone in the drive thru had their phone in their hand and why target Mason? Do you think he was just randomly patrolling a McDonald's parking lot and picked a car in the drive thru to look into? Here's what I think happened because there's nothing stating otherwise: Mason had his phone in his hand on the road going to the McDonald's to place his order in advance. Just before he turned into the McDonald's, he passed a cop on a motorcycle who had to turn around. Mason proceeded to get in line at the drive thru and the cop came up behind him and issued him a ticket, which I admit he probably didn't have to do, he could have just given him a warning and said just make sure you're in line at the drive thru before pulling your phone out, but in any case the cop still issued the ticket rightfully. The ticket itself says it's for having phone in hand while on a public road. This tells me the cop caught him with his phone in his hand before he turned into the McDonald's. The cop doesn't know where Mason is going, all he knows is he saw a driver with their phone in their hand and needs to catch up with them. I don't think Mason's court battle is going to go the way he's hoping it will if this is the case.

They can do that too. It's entirely up to the cop. At least in regards to the no electronic devices hands free or otherwise rule for N drivers, the law isn't definitive. So a lot of situational interpretation goes into it usually it's fine, I guess. But you get one D-head like this and suddenly this becomes a question of concern.
I hope the judge in this case punishes this officer for wasting courts time...plus he is on private property...
How does private property at a business using a phone criminal
Not a lawyer But if this charge was based on private property (AkA McDonalds parking lot) The Highway Traffic Act (HTA) - only apply on roads. They don't apply on any private property - even if that property is accessible to the general public.

Something tells me we will learn the kid was seen by the officer using the phone on the roadway and ticketed in the drive-thru.
It's really stupid. You literally need your phone to pay nowadays. In other words, the phones have Apple Pay and Google Wallet, so it is assumed that it can be used. It's even less dangerous than taking out your actual wallet and manually taking out the money etc etc. It is also private property. I think he is a rookie police officer. It has already happened to me that a rookie police officer gave me an exaggerated fine. Furthermore, it is ageism because it focuses on and assumes that someone who is very young is rebellious, crazy, reckless etc. etc.

I lived in bc and ontario and law does not apply on private property. If this goes through with a conviction, whats not holding the law back when you break the law on your own driveway as it is also private property. I could be holding the brakes in my car scrolling through my music list on my driveway, the law applies there too? 🤨
Cops might as well park outside a liquor store
I would never pay that ticket. See you in court.
It’s private property.
Not sure how laws work in Saskatchewan but in Ontario you could take this to court and fight it because it was on private property. I was in a car accident (and had a friend also a car accident) in a parking lot like this one and when the police showed up even though it was clear the other person was at fault the police said there was nothing they could do because it was considered private property. So if they can't charge a driver in an accident on private property that can't charge you for texting also.

Sounds like there is more to this. If the cop was already behind you, the driver was probably using his phone on the road and the cop followed him into the parking lot
He COULD have just ordered it before leaving work, and simply gone to pick it up…
So they ask the police who made the charges what happened? They answer the question by saying they don't have all the particulars? Hmmm. Seems to me they aren't very organized.
Cops in a parking lot????
Motor cycles aren’t supposed in the drive through….classic pork
Was the officer on duty while ordering food? If so, would that not constitue him being on a "break"? Maybe there should be an investigation opened on the police officers whereabouts during the day of the incident. You do not have free reign to conduct personal business during your shift as a government employee, check his GPS records and make sure they match up with all patrol and service requests. Any discrepancies should be followed up on. I am concerned about this officers professionalism and conduct.
