It's too late for that. I think that started back with the 10 sec Civic arguement.

It was an administrative seizure. The law authorizes a 7-day seizure on suspicion. Unless they're willing to lay criminal charges against them, those cars are going back to their owners (have likely already gone back to their owners) at the end of that period.

For all you panicky morons who've got your panties up in a bunch over this garbage, PAY ATTENTION: Stroker's pedantic babble (Stroker running for AGO in the next election?) aside, police must still operate within the law. You cannot lose your car simply for having it modified, provided those modifications are consistent with the law.

If anyone needs that dumbed down further: YOUR CAR CANNOT BE PERMANENTLY SEIZED WITHOUT CHARGES!!!

Sweet christ.

so what you're saying is, Strokerace is

I guess you are ****ing clueless. They can sieze your car for as long as they like.Also, they have been charged. I believe at this time its just dangerous driving charges. They are out on bail. They are trying to make a case and the cars are held for evidence in the trail. They are also trying to use the street racing to further their investigation.

Yes.

Clearly.

We're clueless, and professor tow truck driver here has all the answers. Don't know how I could have missed that one.

NOT WITHOUT CHARGES! A 7-day administrative suspension is all that is allowed without charges, and invoking this power requires clear documentation of justification. Police cannot simply seize private property and keep it as long as they like - the law clearly defines in what situations property may be seized, and how long that seizure can be effective.


"Dangerous operation of a motor vehicle" is a part VIII offense under the criminal code of Canada. If this is the charge laid, the cars can be held as evidence pending trial. The burden of proof, as in any criminal code case, requires the crown to show guilt at trial 'beyond reasonable doubt' for a conviction - anything less, and the cars and their owners go free.


Come again?

Stick with driving the tow truck, professor.

Snap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Strokerace

You are retarded aren't you.
Your lack of knowledge for the law is starting to show here.What you find under the law by searcing the net is only part of the things they can use under the law.

They do not have to law charge right away and they can hold your car as long as need. As long as it is an open and ongoing investigation.

Ever since you had your nervous breakdown bob you have become completely retarded, it kinda sucks

Because this is a street racing incident they will most likely hold the cars till the trial is over.

They have the power to seize (if you got caught street racing) but they dont have the power to keep it for as long as they want.

kazanak

Your lack of knowledge of the law, and of the English language, are fu-ck-ing stunning, professor. Take a few remedial high school English classes, then come back and argue about the finer points of criminal and traffic law. Failing that, stick with driving your tow truck :thumbsup:

I'll say it again. The law is very clear on when the power of seizure, particularly as it applies to a motor vehicle, can be invoked. The media campaign portraying blanket powers is fiction, openly supported and perpetuated by the AGO. Anyone who hasn't been huffing a bit too much diesel exhaust - I'm looking in your direction, professor - should be able to see that clearly.

Strokerace

You are a ****ing tool, a retard and rode the short bus all your life. You lack any intelligence what so ever. Your inablilty to even fathom that someone here is smarter then you, is beyond me. When you stop using your ****ing hand to have sex with, and your keyboar to look at women you can't have. Go and take some legal courses. Now ****ing stop trying to be an internet lawyer and looking your legal facts up with Google.

When you get a life outside of the internet and try spending some time in court, you will understand that the law is not black and white, its never fair, and rarely ever goes according to what is written in a law book.
