Cops followed me from home, took my plates, gave me $220 in fines ON MY BIRTHDAY.FTC!

wow jesse thats insane dude…on your birthday too :expressionless: sounds like the cop was waiting to see you or something…this really sucks sorry to hear…but happy b day

fuck the police…

addendum: Every day, I feel more and more encouraged to move out to BC or Alberta or something… Anywhere but here, Ontario is getting to be a crap place to live…

I’d like to say I feel bad for you Jesse but I dont. You knew the horn didnt work and knew your tires were bald so you were just asking for trouble. And considering all the BS that is happening with modified cars being targeted you think you’d make sure your shit is in order.

Personally… My exhaust is loud and I have a tie rod that is toast. If I got pulled over and had my plates taken away it would be my own fault for not addressing those issues sooner.

Ya the reason I say this is because my car is too slow so I won’t stand a chance running…

I’m going to go ahead and assume that was sarcasm…

Jesse my friend, you have just experienced what it means to be pulled over for DWB…:thumright:

Isn’t there something in the HTA about them not being able to detain you for an “unreasonable” amount of time?? Almost three hours while on your way to work seems unreasonable to me for $220 in tickets. Worth looking up so you can site the section in court.

It’s the long weekend that’s what screws us. Blitz’s everywhere!

thats total bs

and tires to the wear bars common… thats also a bs ticket

try and have make the best of it man…

party like its 1999… its ur birthday !!!

You have now experienced what I was talking to You about at bings meet. This shit happens fairly often in KW/Cambridge. I know My impreza is legal, but I often take the wifes Rio just to avoid bullshit with the cops.

dont u think it was ironic that the same cop who sees u drive by everyday pulls you over?

i bet you there were at least 3 other cars in that parking lot that had rust holes everywhere on it. but they nab you weird…

hehe
i guess i’m not the only victim.
sucks to hear about your situation. i know EXACTLY how you feel. no horn and bald tires. argh. what a pain in the ass.
can’t believe they are THAT anal down there in the niagara region. surprised to hear that.

2nd son240sx member to be featured on global TV? man we should just run that station.

dammn thats gay… had that happin to me before…

“opperating unsafe motor vehicle”

car was to low, licence plate held on with zip ties, tire sticking out behond fender ( i had spacers bigger on the rear than the front )

they took all kinds of gay pictures with rullers and shit to show how low it was… BLAH BLAH BLAH… there were also other cops there that were checking out the car, and the cop says i have no problem with modified cars, i have a problem with people not doing it properly…

SOO gay… soo he leaves me there at the side of the road, TOOK my safety paper… and insurence… i drive home and he comes into my driveway like an hour later and says OHH YAA i have to take away your plates…

BY THE WAYYY never got those plates back… which i fucking paid for fair and square…

went to court… said i raised up the car fixed all the “problems” and sold it… and the cop was like ok fine since you were so respectful and polite when i pulled you over ill see what i can do…

got it dropped from 5000$ >>>>>> 100$

it was the most fucked up situation tho and TOTALLY such a fucking waste of time.

neways… where can i see this video clip of that inspection??

i dono, i wasnt there for the city tv thing. I was being filmed by the cogeco cable guys but i have sattelite

sorry to hear about the shitty day man. i couldn’t focus on work for the rest of the day once i read this thread…mostly because of the fact that it does seem premeditated from the honda guy.

Hey jesse. HAPPY BDAY!

sucks about all that bs … i should get my car in order asap.

what’s your paypal, ill donate 20$ to the cause :slight_smile:

today in peterborough there where 3 cops sitting at a busy intersection light turned green they all quickly dispursed i came back to that intersection less then five minutes later they had three ppl pulled over

i wonder when they are going to start pulling over old men driving corvettes and m3’s that are 10x faster then our cars?

fucking pigs…

I saw it on ctv news today they are doing a blitz!! I feel sorry for you, but get everything working fine and yu do not have to worry unless you do over 50km lol.

I can’t really defend what happened to you. You knew the problems with your car and decided not to fix them. Unfortuanately you got nailed for them. The problem I have is that the police should/could pull over any vehicle over 10yrs old, modified or not, and find way more things wrong with them than they found with your car. I think it’s BS that they limit these blitz’s to modified vehicle’s

i kinda get what the cops are after here… they are trying to get the modified cars first because a vast majority of them are hackd together with yarn and paste. but most of the population of cars trucks vans etc are just as worse. i have seen vans with no rockers. cars with kids jumping around in the back seat.duck tape holding body parts together(nascar viewers) stuff like that. just try to stay away from places you know where mod’d cars hang out.
