Sean Shapiro

🚔 Former Police Officer🚦Traffic Safety Advocate 🎤Public Speaker on Social Media Innovation🎙️

[Sean Shapiro @VoiceoverCop]

Are tickets enough when someone keeps putting lives at risk? I make the case for much tougher consequences for dangerous driving, including a proposal that will divide the comments: losing the car permanently. This is my opinion about how the law should change. Where would you draw the line?

This clip is from the October 20, 2026 #ASKaTrafficCOP livestream.

I’m Sean Shapiro, a former police officer talking about traffic safety, traffic law, and police stuff. Follow the channel and join the conversation.

🦶 Is it illegal to drive barefoot in Ontario?

No, but that doesn’t mean you should!

During the October 6, 2026, #ASKaTrafficCOP livestream, I was asked whether driving barefoot was against the law.

I explained why driving without shoes creates risks that many people never consider.

What happens when you need to brake suddenly?

What happens if you’re involved in a collision and need to escape your vehicle?

Sometimes what’s legal isn’t what’s safest.

There are terribly missed, never forgotten😢 They paid the ultimate price in service for their community and policing has never been the same. They touched everyone who met them from Bradford to Barrie. This was a huge loss, still is. RIP brothers.

[Chief Myron Demkiw @TPSMyronDemkiw]

I have attended far too many police funerals over the past few months. I have also made far too many visits to hospitals to see members recovering from injuries suffered in the line of duty.

These experiences stay with you. They are a reminder that behind every headline is a person, a family, a colleague, and a community affected by violence.

Last week in Ottawa, I participated in a Roundtable on Officer Safety alongside police service and association leaders from across Canada. Police services across the country are concerned about assaults, threats, and violence directed at officers.

Many of us signed the letter below because we need to have an open conversation about this. I want to thank the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police @CACP_ACCP, the Canadian Police Association, and Premier Ford @fordnation for helping bring attention to this issue and for advocating for the safety of our officers.

An attack on a police officer is an attack on all of us as a society. It is an attack on the rule of law, on our values, and on our way of life. It is also an attack on what makes our cities vibrant and thriving. This is an issue across our country. Public safety is the foundation on which strong communities and economic prosperity are built.

A society that does not take meaningful action to prevent violence against its police officers cannot claim to be at its best. Keeping officers safe is not solely a policing issue. It is a responsibility shared by all of us: police services, legislators, educators, parents, healthcare partners, the justice system, and community leaders.

The @TorontoPolice Service will continue working with all of our partners to address this issue. We support the efforts to send a clear message that violence against those who serve and protect our communities, or against anyone, is unacceptable.

@MiroslavGlavic @reallyrede Yes I would. Everyone needs to stop for stop signs!

[Sean Shapiro @VoiceoverCop]

It’s a foggy morning, visibility is reduced, and drivers should already be slowing down and using extra caution.

Then I watched a driver blow through a stop sign directly in front of the crosswalk I was about to use, with a crossing guard standing right there.

They ran the stop sign, pulled over, dropped their child off at school, then let their dog out for a pee.

Seriously?

And on the walk back, I passed another dad pulling over to drop his kiddo off at school late.

Guess why he was driving with only one hand?

Yep. Phone in the other one.

If you ever want to be horrified by driver behaviour, spend some time near a school during drop-off or pickup. You will see some of the worst driving imaginable.

These are supposed to be among our safest streets because this is where some of the most important people are, our children.

Slow down. Stop at stop signs. Put the phone away. Pay attention. And on a foggy morning like this, give yourself even more time and space.

My name is Sean Shapiro. I’m a former police officer who talks about traffic safety, traffic law and police stuff.
