I went to crystal beach with a few of my friends today. I drove my car which this is the second time ive taken my car to canada and i parked and everything was fine…
I start to walk away and a cop pulls up and goes which one of you guys have a radar detector in your car. Well i say i do and i go why? hes goes hand it over…he goes to fool around with me you know you cant have them here. i go i had no clue and he says there plenty of signs that say you cant… well i must be blind because on the way back i didnt see one sign…
well i told him my radars glued to my dash b/c i broke the clip, he goes well ill rip it off or either take your whole dashboard… so i take it off and hand it over…
he then see my nitrous bottle in the back of my trunk and asks if i have a sticker otherwise its illegal… i have no clue what he meant but he told me to take it out and put it in my friends car…
then he askes for license registration… 5 minutes later he comes back with a ticket for the radar and its a 165 dollar ticket… plus he keeps my 150 dollar radar… he says that having a radar in canada is like brining guns in and then says have a nice day…
well the problem i have he put on the ticket that i was driving with my radar which he did not see since my car was parked the whole time, plus he did not put my full name down on the ticket… so im thinking of trying to fight this…
its such bull shit because i didnt know and the cop was a dick… and CANADA sucks
And minor issues with the ticket won’t get it thrown out. Period, you had a device that is illegal in that country there isn’t much you can do even if you didn’t know.
is the law actually that it is illegal to USE, or it is illegal to possess? b/c if it’s possession, you’re definitely screwed. if it’s usage, you could go and cry to the judge, but prolly still screwed.
and nomatter how much canada sucks, it will always be saved by the nudies!
Iv’e driven into to canada many times with my radar detector and i always just unplug it before i get to customs. Iv’e never been told the law or had a problem. I have also been pulled over in canada with my radar detector on and the cop didnt say a word about it. Maybe ive just been lucky.

Its my understanding since I manage a company out of toronto and deal with canadian customs and so forth all day, that they can take your license plate # down but really cant enter it into their system.
I’m not 100% sure but thats what my boss tells me
I took a ride on the 407 a year ago and still havnt paid the fee cause my work was suppose to take care of it and they never did, not much they can do but keep sending me bills.
plus the nitrous was just the tank… it wasnt even hooked up or full? and he just kept telling me i need a sticker… wtf i didnt even take anything off the bottle… sorry im just pissed…maybe i should pay attention to road signs more or something… plus i wouldnt be pissed if he caught me driving the fact that i was walking away from my car …
