Lets protest protest, June 8. Lets show not all car enthusiast are street racers, and that the new law they past is not going after street racers, but every modify car on the street. JUST LIKE RACIAL PROFILING, IT’S WRONG. THIS IS CAR PROFILING.

I Totally agree with this.  
When I used to drive my prev modified cars around and I would get pulled over for nothing. I would ask why I got pulled over. The reason is always “You look suspcious” then they would say something about the car. I have not had my Ae86 on the road in 3 years. It will be driven this summer though and I don’t even want to know how many times I am going to get pulled over. I was thinking of getting some stickers made that go across my rear bumper that say  
“DRIVING A IMPORT IS NOT A CRIME” or a good idea as well to raise awareness and get people together is maybe post a website wher people can post a log of them get harrased by the police with dates and times and promote this website on out cars and try to get some media attention.

start a petition? thats gay, you know that won’t go through. it has already been sought after and failed. like sasha said, don’t be a girl, and drive your car like a normal person.

What??? are you living under a fucking rock?? guys are beeing pull over for nothing, driving normal and doing the speed limit. Could MTO give you shit for having a SR20 or KADE-T under you hood?

MY big beef with the problem that is happening is I could be heading for an important meeting and because I am driving my (Ferrari) 240sx-T I get pull over, because my car looks like a racer.

i also got that MTO inspection for Apr 28…pisses me off that no one will be safe with a modded car. honestly we need to get all the car clubs in the GTA and rally this and show the media/people/government NOT ALL MODDED CARS ARE STREETRACERS!!!

sure, someone could print up some sticky posters like they do for concerts and other underground events and plaster them all over the place… a concerted effort to show the stupidity of the anti-racing/modification laws and then also try to get coverage by the media, if the signs are visible everywhere eventually there will be discussion

We really need to get a good lawyer on our side who is willing to stick up for us. That way whenever we get pulled over we can call him/her up for advice. I’m sick of police who think they can push you around and perform an inspection on your vehicle when they aren’t certified mechanics. Like one time a cop told me to pop my hood, so I did, he started to bang on things including my downpipe and said that there is no cat??? I’m like well if you take a look under the car you can see it’s there. If your caught street racing, then tough luck thats your fault, but just for driving a “modified” car does not make me a street racer. It’s no different than racial profiling.
