Montreal Police Push for Insult Fines

Montreal police are pushing for a new bylaw that would let officers fine people for insults and foul language — following Quebec cities like Quebec City, Laval, and Sherbrooke, where similar rules have generated thousands of fines and millions in revenue. Sherbrooke’s fines can hit up to $4,000, and they’re rarely challenged. While the mayor supports the idea cautiously to avoid legal trouble, police unions see it as essential to protect officers’ dignity on the job — and the trend is spreading, with Longueuil already issuing over 100 fines in just one year.
