If you car looks modified and goes missing in Montreal ......
 

Surfing around - I stumbled on this [taken from MX-3.com]



If your car looks modified and goes missing in Montreal It hasn't been stolen. It has probably been impounded by the MUC police. Yes the police have been taking parked cars off the street because they looked "Modified" eg: lowered, plus size mags, mufflers, wings, tints and impounding them until they can be inspected. Some offices are have stock cars impounded because they think it looks modified. One car being a 100% stock VW Jetta with the optional 18's that was just driven off the lot the day before. The officer said it looked lowered and the wheels are to big. An Older gentlemen in his 50's had his new Maxima impounded because he argued with the officer that it is the factory tinted glass and there was no tint film that could be removed. Both cars pasted inspection after being impounded and it was realized that both cars were 100% stock. There was a stock new Tiburon that at first the officer argued the exhaust wasn't stock because it has dual tips. Then he proceeded to insert a tape measure into the tip when he past a certain measure he tried to say that this was proof the muffler wasn't stock but on a Tiburon the muffler is in the middle of the car. The officer was claiming this was and test for "modified emissions" equipment. The officer also tried to have the owner start the car and move it onto the street since it was on private property. At this point the officer was asked step off this person property unless he justify a "real" reason for his presences to be there. I have a few fiends with other police dept or are no longer on patrol duty they know of no actual laws in the books these officers are enforcing. Judging from another even that I was a witness to a sgt. / shift supervisor admitted that all the partol officers have been ordered by higher ranking officers (that him) to "look for" (harass) "modified sport/ compact car owners and ticket them as much as possible". If that isn't profiling I don't know what is. By the sounds of it there are a couple class action law suit directed at certain officers by name. There are also indications that city polce force as a whole is under review both internally and by an external police force. BTW the dept of transport were running training seminars to educate all the police forces what is illegal, and what is acceptable When it came to Montreal senior command for the Montreal police force refused to have their officers educated so instead have their officers making up the laws as they go along because they don't even know what the actual law refers to in the first place and even worst don't even know were some of the parts they are ticketing are located on the car. They are mostly counting on that most of the tickets are issued to younger kids that don't know better so will not fight them in court and with just pay the fines.

who came up with that ? What was the general response in the other forum, because that sounds like a load of crap. And thats besides the point that just reading it gave me a headache. Anyways if there's proof then that sucks.

pure freeking BS!! they have no right to do that

Well the response was as you figure it would be on a car site - I guess I shoulda posted a link b4, here it is MX-3.com :: View topic - If you car look modified and goes missing in Montreal ......

heres something else in that thread
The guys are from Quebec Im guessin

I say **** them all. Everyone go get a huge gay ass wing, the worst looking one you can find, And lets all meet at the Police parking lot on Hurontario in Brampton. I'll get a few dozen rolls of double sided tape, and we can tape wings to every car in the parking lot, then call 911 for a street racing meet.
What's next, I can't put the factory 18's on my car, since it came from the factory with 16" steelies, and hubcaps?

Thank God my car looks bone stock.

Thats the gayest I ever heard.


F*** montreal

what do you think cockbreath is trying to do in ontario? pass the same law. i can see him pissing off the wrong mob kid and then going fuken missing. same with any pig that does that . ill guarantee you this much. if i still had a modified car and it went missing for something as stupid as this, id find out what cop was responsible and id set his house on fire, while he slept in it. im not even kidding.

Any car can be used for street racing, It doesn't need to be modified.... I do more speeding in my daily driver car, than I do in my rx7.
