It has always been my understanding that local cops are out of their jurisdiction on the major highways. 

Anyone confirm this for sure? 

If it's true, why are the local cops on them and not policing their community for which we pay them to do?

I can ask my next door neighbour, he's an Oakville cop, she's Halton (I believe - they just moved in last year). I think that they could if they wanted to (say if you were drunk and they chased you on) but they'd have to call the OPP because generally it is their jurisdicton. But as you've already said, if they were doing that they wouldn't be policing the community they're paid to do. I think they just use the QEW to get from one side of Oakville to the other faster.

Any chance this was near Brantford and she was a blonde named Cindy? <_<

I didn't get the name (because she didn't give me a ticket) but yeah she was blonde and it was at the bottom of the 403 Ancaster hill heading towards Brantford. Short, a bit stocky; kinda waddled like she had her vest on too tight.

I take it by the <_< that she's not your favorite person either...
