isnt it funny how all the stories of getting pulled over are packaged with the defence

Victoria (BC) Police uses a large number of oddball unmarked cars including Dodge Caravans and a Dakota pick-up truck.

You should have bought a lottery ticket that day...was that the one where the P/U cop car was following you but had to wait for an OPP to come?

I'll have you know...
Whenever I get pulled over its always for no reason, and it's never my fault.

Including the ticket and the cocksucking lawyer, it was $750.

What bike? I find that if i'm not riding a supersport, I can get away with lots more. Ditto for driving a big truck. Buddy in whitby NEVER got stopped for anything in this F-250. Now in his GTR, he couldn't get out of his driveway (literally) without getting a ticket for something.

P.S. Internet Brands: If you're reading this, right now the banner ad has an add for either MILF (Mature?) ****/some dating site marketing older women with "bolt-on mods". I'm not complaining but you probably should filter those out better given the amount of people who use this site at work. And yes i'm aware that my avatar is half-hypocritical.

*Checks search history*
Tried searching for a video series on derivatives taught by topless 21 year old Texas A&M girls but no search results found. I'm seeing both a market opportunity....
#onlykidding. #ormaybenot?

On a fractionally more serious note: the advertisement's tagline reads: "we don't want young men, we want YOU!". I think that speaks more to the average age of rennlisters at large rather than me lol.

back on topic:

I'm only seeing "Spring Sale, save 30% on all frames and lenses" from ClearlyContacts.ca.

I must be doing something wrong.

Oh that Lambo badly needs a push-bar!

the west van cops have an old pickup truck with a camper. The cop is in the back, with the radar gun.
this week, i saw Vancouver cops hiding on the deck of a tow truck.
Last week they were inside the bus stop. the bus patrons had to wait outside. in the rain.

How did this not cause a bunch of complaints/some coverage by local news? Most ridiculous thing I've heard all week.

The Halton chief is being disingenuous at best. The reason behind the 'cab' being yanked off the road wasn't a 'citizen' protesting an unfair advantage - it was a 'legal/liability issue'.

At least radar detectors are legal to own and operate in BC, which may be why they are resorting to these tactics.
