I took a spin down on Friday to meet up with the gentlemen for a few
hours of car chat. There were no police around when we arrived.
A little later an unmarked officer came by and proceeded to tell us to
leave. Most people just went into Tim Hortons and bought something,
while a couple others actually left.
The people that left, were pulled over immediatly after leaving private
property. This is when we knew there was a blitz in place.
After a little while they weren’t patrolling anymore, so I decided that
needing to get up at 5:30, 11:00 was a good time to leave. I waited until
the officer running our plates had left, and proceeded through the back
entrance.
Unfortunatly, coming in the back entrace was another cruiser, who quickly
spun around, and followed me for about a block, before pulling me over.
Approaching the car with flashlight in hand he checked the rear of the car,
noticing I had no interior, he never took his flashlight away from the back
of the car.
He then asked me some basic questions about the car, asked me to pop
my hood, to expose a stock KA motor. He asked where my battery was, I
told him it was in the trunk, and he looked at me a little funny. He check
some other items on the car, tires, horn, and so on.
He walked back to his car, came back 10 minutes later and asked me to
pull into a gas station parking lot, and told me, an MTO inspector was on
his way.
Now, I don’t know what he said, but he attracted the attention of the other
2 cruisers who came in with the MTO cruiser in a 3 car convoy.
Guess who was the posterboy for that night? The MTO put me through
regular light checks and looked to make sure my suspension was good
and the tires were clearing. Upon that he asked me to pop my hood to
check for breathers I suppose.
He missed the fact I dont have a cat, and the fact I’m not running an AIV
assembly either.
He told me my tires were wear barred, my horn didn’t work, and that he
didn’t like how my battery wasn’t vented outside the cockpit. Thanks tips.
He then proceeded to praise both the brake and suspension upgrades, as
truely well done, and extremely impressive, especially from a saftey
perspective.
He told the cops not to give me to hard of a time, as the car is tracked,
and not raced on the street, and so they did.
By giving me 5 fix it tickets, and then deemed the car unsafe to drive
home.
After threatening impound, I managed to sway them towards letting me
tow the car home and fix it there. They agreed, and 2 hours later a
flatbed showed up.
After getting home at 3:00 in the morning I then proceeded to wake up
for work at 5:30 to go work a 12 hour shift in a sugar refinery.
The best part of it all, was trying to explain to the officers why the battery
box is relocated for weight distribution, and similarly, why my interior was
stripped.
Overall, the police made an example of the one car, that has no power
upgrades, and is probably safer then 90% of car on the road today…
Nice job boys…
Thanks to Justin and Ken for the CAA tow…
Washed prior to the nights event…

I can’t remember what time we left there. I guess it was after the blitz was going on.
My guess: Wednesday at Kennedy Commons will be worse.

It’s a classic case of “profiling”. Cops are told specific, meaningless things to look out for and automatically place EVERYONE who fits the profile in the same group as retard street racers and ricers.
That having been said, can you blame the cops for giving you a ticket for no horn? Or for tires worn past the bars? (If indeed this was the case-- did the police use a tread depth gauge even?)
What else did they give you tickets for?
Still, these police actions are no excuse for the obviously “carcist”, discriminatory actions exhibited by police that night. You shouldn’t have to be afraid or nervous to drive around and meet up with friends at a friggin timmies on a Friday night. It’s just goddamn ridiculous.
Sadly, I don’t see the situation easing up any time soon. This is thanks to the countless ricers and fanboys whose “knowledge” stems from Hollywood garbage rather than via the proper channels. They set a disgusting example on the street; this translates into bullshit that true enthusiasts have to go through, for no good reason.

They had a Blitz going on HW7 just east of HW400 on Saturday night. It was a good set up because when you are going east on HW7 you can’t see what is on the other side of the 400 overpass and as soon as you get over it you have no where to go but straight and then they nail you. I was lucky I wasn’t in my 240sx other wise I would of been one of those poor people pulled over to the side while your car is being interrogated.

I’ve thought about that too, … well when i had the 240.
I came to the conclusion that i would just tell the truth, be be vauge, and tell them you hooked all the emissions stuff up, and show them, even if they arent working as long as they are there. Ignorance is bliss right, act like you didnt know it would be a problem.
If you dont have a carbon canister, i have one, hook it up, or at least put it in the engine bay with some tube on it.

What a load of garbage and waste of your time. Sorry it had to happen to you, but thanks for sharing…
I’m speechless.
Reminds me though of Dorian from The Mask: “Maybe if you tried doing some actual POLICE work…”

If you are painting anything that transfers heat, techline is your friend.

If you really don’t want to get busted, then paint your red valve cover gunmetal or silver…
