RCMP boosting presence at Mud Bogs
This year’s mud bogs will have an increased audience in attendance with the Cranbrook RCMP and East Kootenay Traffic Services increasing enforcement in and around the Lake Koocanusa area.
Each year the Mud Bogs have increased in participants and audience alike. Cranbrook RCMP realizes this is primarily a family event and would like to see everyone enjoying his or herself while also adhering to the Criminal Code along with the Motor Vehicle and Liquor Acts.
Possible infractions could include Criminal Code Impaired Driving, Immediate Roadside Prohibitions and Vehicle Impoundments for drivers being under the influence of alcohol.
RCMP will also be on the look out to ensure that vehicles are roadworthy and will be conducting safety checks under the Motor Vehicle Act Regulations (MVAR). Vehicles found not adhering to the MVAR may be removed from the roadway at the owner’s expense.
Open liquor in vehicles and being drunk in public could also lead to fines under the Liquor Control and Licensing Act.
“Cranbrook RCMP is hoping that Mud Bog participants and its audience have a great weekend. Let’s keep it safe and fun for everyone,” said Cst. Katie Forgeron.
