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.

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
heres something else in that thread
Apparently they're trying to pass a bill that a car can be seized to be used for street racing, and it can get towed and crushed, so the officer is judge, jury and executioner and you have no way to get the vehicle back. Even if the car is on your propery, all they need to assume is that the car is being used for street racing they can take it away, It's kinda stupid.

I say **** them all. Everyone go get a huge gay *** 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?
