COVID-19 : more than 20 infraction tickets issued

Chateaugay police have distributed more than 20 infraction tickets on their territory in the early days of April for breaches of the rules connected to the COVID-19 pandemic, among others for gatherings not respecting social distancing. Translation Dan Rosenburg “A new legislative arrangement permits police agents to give portable tickets for infractions committed on the territory. The fine anticipates reaching as high as $1,546 for an adult and $560 for a minor,” specifies the Chateauguay police department in a communique. It emphasizes, however, “the sustained efforts by the entire population.”
