It was an estimate 40 km/hr over. No laser confirmation. Most of us were watching it go down. It was one of our salesmen's customers. The guy should fight it. The guy passed Cain and that was grounds for an excessive speeding ticket because apparently passing someone means excessive speed. Maybe he was speeding maybe he was doing 20km/hr over like everyone in Vancouver. IDK though as I didn't see it. The guy didn't want to argue. I think he's just handing the ticket to his lawyer. I just saw the aftermath and heard what the salesmen, customer and some lot staff said that were talking to Cain and the other officer.

Proceeds to list several problems with it while owning it ...

And the pictures are useless. I don’t understand why people post shitty for sale ads.

The dude mods his car like crazy. I'll eat my driveway if he doesn't have 10000000 shots of his car on his phone from every fucking angle.

imagine if you put 8k in parts and end up getting 8k more for the car, wouldn't that be awesome ?

i prefer to start with a stock car and build it the way i like. I wouldn't put half of those parts on my car

old article I pulled up

68style 01-28-2020 12:57 PM

I agree with the sentiment of that article and that's even prior to this whole VI blitz thing... I've always felt RCMP was a lot more accountable and that the city police force (be it Delta, VPD, West Van, New West or whoever else) were more poorly trained and more likely to be biased. I have no facts to back that up with, just the feeling you get the way they talk to you whenever you deal with them.

Like most the time RCMP guys talk to me, as long as you're cordial with them and reasonable they just warn you or whatever for the most part... but city guys are like from the same bootcamp as CBSA, just want to fuck with you verbally and power trip.

I think this is the same dude who claimed 500whp then changed his story multiple times.

If it is, then he's almost clipped my front end because he drives recklessly.

If you are just realizing that Municipal police are more aggressive on traffic enforcement than the RCMP, wait to see what Surrey PD will mean for the car community and the people of Surrey.

Also..

Things like this will change, the RCMP isn't enforcing UBER. But when the mayor gets his own police force, he will get to choose what they do.

"Police officers and special constables under the Police Act may also be bylaw enforcement officers"

I know, said it in previous threads, the only reason the mayor of Surrey wants RCMP out is so that he can better control who and what they focus their investigations on. It's all a power trip.

Some guy in a red 98 corolla just got VI'd, there's a video floating around Facebook with Cain shoving the sound measuring tool into the exhaust lol

FatalCloud 02-10-2020 03:42 PM

can someone share the video please? is that enough evidence to complain against Cain that he's literally shoving it up our ass

hud 91gt 02-10-2020 05:40 PM

A 1998 Corolla can have a worn out exhaust, bad wheel bearings, shot struts, broken headlights, rust out..... just because it’s stock doesn’t mean it doesn’t deserve a VI. In fact, unsafe vehicles is kind of the reason why there is Vi’s.

The fact it’s a 21 year old corolla, it probably hasn’t had any
Maintenance done... ever. Lol

mikasaur 02-10-2020 06:06 PM

while we're making random assumptions with 0 evidence, based on those canadian tire wheels i wouldn't be surprised if the kid straight piped it.

The biggest mod that car probably has is Yosemite Sam floor mats. No one is paying someone to weld on that car.

68style 02-10-2020 07:54 PM

Look at that poor fuck sitting in his red Corolla wondering where he went wrong with his life choices... good job Officer Cain :)

Akinari 02-10-2020 10:20 PM

I can’t fathom how any self-respecting law enforcement official could, with a straight face, tell this chubby broke ass college freshman driving a faded Corolla on Cambodian Tire hubcaps, that his fuel sipping miserly heap of reliability is a menance to society, while holding up a dB meter to his face and saying that his rusted out exhaust is hurting people’s eardrums.

I don’t care if mayor whatever of Vancouver secretly told you to crack down on modded cars cause of rich whiny Shaugnessy pricks donating thirty batrillion zillion to your party last year.

I just want to be able to drive my car in Vancouver without being harassed by a power tripping cop who wants to seize every opportunity to stick his karaoke mic up my tailpipe and tow my car.

I understand the sentiment of Officer Doofy and his magic Mic, but you put some respect on karaoke microphones. He needs to get a life, or get reassigned to do real policing.
