So for those who things a group of cars will not get pulled over, at Bings meet especially, think again. I don’t know the full story but this is a sight to see…

Fast forward to 2:55.
wow thats crazy, prob some idiot on the hwy calling the cops saying theres a bunch of cars “racing” on the hwy, thats unbelivably gay, i can only imagine what they would do to a group of haggard, slammed, loud 240’s sheesh
its already taken down
Wow they are quick, Screenshot from the Mini Forums.
in the omoc forum post it said they were pulled over for doing 50 over.
if that is actually the case, they had it coming
I know no details or else I would be chirping one of the sides. Just a heads up for Bings meet and what not.
What a faggots, one fist up in the air for the minis
how the hell did they get it down so fast?! fckn cops prob forced it down for some how, doesnt make any sence,
is there a mole among us…!!! hahah
We would get taken down in our shit boxes
THAT SHIT WAS ORCHESTRATED TORRETTO!
They just wanted to ask them why their driving such a gay little car…
lol. It’s a PITA to keep a convoy together, so I kind of doubt people were actually racing. Sometimes you have to speed up a bit or change lanes to keep it together. To someone with a spiked stick up their ass, it could be some “street racing” liek in dat dere Fast n’ Da Furious movie.
so are they referring the mini’s as they 11 who got pulled for 50 over ?
Every year, the Southern Ontario Mini Club organizes two charity drives – one in the Spring and one in the Fall. Over time, the event has grown from a handful of participating cars to over 30, and as such, this year the organizers let local law enforcement know where the caravan would be and when it would be there as a courtesy. So far, so good, right? Not exactly.
During the first part of the drive, the convoy ran into a few members of the Ontario Provincial Police without incident. One officer even went so far as to tell the organizers that there was only one other patrol for the rest of the route. Turns out that wasn’t quite true.
Instead of providing an escort for the convoy or thanking the organizers for a heads up, the OPP set up a speed trap along the route where the limit changes from 100 km/h to 90 km/h. When the parade of Minis came past, officers pulled over the whole lot, and cited three cars for going 121-123 kmh in a 90 kmh zone, or about 76 in a 55. One driver was also cited for having a radar detector and had his equipment confiscated.
Yes, setting up a speed trap on a charity drive is a prick move, but it gets worse. The OPP evidently called the local television station beforehand so they could film the whole sting. Once the station had the film, they broadcast a story claiming that 11 of the Mini drivers had been arrested for doing 50 kmh over the speed limit and that they had their vehicles confiscated as a result. Even worse, the story claimed that some of the Mini drivers had their children with them and that the OPP had called the Canadian equivalent of child services on the parents.
Members of the Mini club complained to the station, and the video was taken down as a result, though no apology or retraction has been issued so far.
Hmm… I wonder how the news/police would react to the charities who won’t get the donations this cruise was for… I’m thinking the charities might want to contact the news about this and show little jimmy who won’t get his heart transplant or go to disney world because the donations won’t be there.
Real dick move.
Huge douche move.
So douchey, that I could see New York doing this to close the budget gap.
wow.
Stuff like this makes you think twice about shooting video of reckless driving at meets & GTGs and then posting it on the internet for the entire world to see. Oh wait…
Could they say this was some for of entrapment, because the first cop told them that there were not any other cops on the road?
Huge dick move though. I hope they take all the charity money and pay the fines with it, then show the news how all the charities didn’t get anything because of this sting.
The world sucks.
