Please take this story with a grain of salt BUT approximately 10 years ago I witnessed a Victoria Sergeant taking a bribe from a tow truck driver to tow away my car that didn’t REALLY need to be towed. It was however a parts car I was done with so I didn’t give a shit about it’s fate.

Needless to say, cannot trust the police. I fought all the tickets he gave me and won, and didn’t pay a dime, so the tow truck driver was out $10 for bribing a police officer.

Victoria Police Department, hang your damn heads in shame.

I believe the car has a js racing exhaust as well..

So who passed it and is the owner going to make a big enough stink about the VI?

Oeks1 03-26-2019 06:12 PM

Mine passed with dual flowmasters at the dealer

Did you "unmod" anything or took it in as is?
I can't remember if we had already talked about your car/situation already or not. It's been a long thread.

Any update on our favourite officer's visits to dealerships after they've passed vehicles without making changes? From what I've read, one dealership has caved into his garbage demands, but does anyone know if other dealers have stood up to him or not? After all, I thought that authorised inspection facilities were out of his jurisdiction (ICBC and/or MOTI).

Oeks1 03-26-2019 09:16 PM

Just took off the aftermarket rims they stuck out 1.5 inch out the wheelwells , tires were done too, sold em.
Eveything else was left

I know were this photo was done, It is at Garage Five in Richmond. However could not find them on inspection facility list...
PS forgot that they sending to dealers facilities, so it is irrelevant

I know of a group of Rollin Coals in Surrey / Langley through a few friends.
No VI's yet for that group... with their 10 inch exhausts in the bed

Maybe it's where they're located.

Been here since day one. I don't have a choice.

Honestly, not as bad as it seems on a grand scale.... but if you don't need to be here, no need to risk it. But it's still pretty low chance you'll get caught unless your car is outrageously stupid. Cause then even the "regular" VPD will be after you.

Not 100% sure, but from my observation almost nobody was VIed on weekends?

Plenty of people have been VI'd on weekends. At least based off tickets posted on the VCC group.

Someone with a golf just got a VI on the 24th which is a Sunday. Got him for camber, exhaust, window banner. Happened on Granville and 70th. More VIs are being reported on VCC recently than on here.

OK I'll admit I'm an ignorant idiot -- what is this VCC thing that you are referring to?

Couple of the subaru guys got busted couple of weekends ago as well.

There was a cellphone and seatbelt check happening yesterday at Main and Terminal. Our favourite traffic cop was there along with his seargent. They gave out 3 VIs total. One was a lowered Lexus they got for exhaust and not having 1" of clearance between the tires and fenders. One was a lowered civic, same thing. Not sure what the 3rd was.

To put an end to all the rumors going around about him being a seargent - I will state now that he is not.

So, long story short, continue to stay the fuck out of Vancouver until Cain is either fired or VPD higher ups take disciplinary action, unless you have a car that blends in?

Digitalis 03-27-2019 05:28 PM

Yep that officer Cain is the guy that got me along with his buddy Christensen

Link doesn't work for me, but I assume it's the blue one that's sticker bombed and has white euro tailights:

https://scontent.fcxh3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...bf&oe=5D461768


If so, I know the owner personally and he knows he had it coming. His car is actually pretty loud and he does occasionally drive like an asshole.

That said, he doesn't have any camber except from stock and the cop told him that his coilovers are illegal LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

For the lights, you can have aftermarket ones as long as they are DOT approved, correct?
