That's a freaky precedent as you're spending coin on something nice that's built a certain way from factory and now you're being slapped with tickets and mandatory inspections for things that were 100% legal to begin with. All based on one person's subjective interpretation of the road laws.
They may as well slap VIs on all the new SUVs with those retina frying HID headlight setups. I have an eye condition and have to turn away every time one of them passes by me on opposite lanes.

Reggie has always known he's worthy of a VI. That's why he didn't comment on it the first 3 times. Same with Monique/Jackpot.
Most of the other people here with lightly modified cars are being VI'd - that's the majority.

Even so, if they do come to your door and issue a ticket to the registered owner, no points means it doesn’t affect your insurance or driving record, which really, is all we care about here.

1. Not OEM steering wheel
2. Not OEM seats
3. Not OEM shift knob
4. Not OEM mirrors
5. Spoiler
6. Diffuser
7. Skirts and Splitters
10. Not OEM exhaust
13. Taillights Not OEM
Are these all illegal modifications according to the MVA?

Geezus, people charging so much for old RHD vehicles. They must watch way too many youtube videos...
Or they think highly modded cars guarantee a ROI

If all of you don't want this to situation to spiral out of control then it's time to put pressure on ICBC and law enforcement NOW!
1) SPECIALIZED/STANDARDIZED training for all police departments/officers that still want to be qualified to issue fines for vehicle modifications or to issue VIs!
2) Any designated inspection facility that deems a vehicle safe for public roads and clears it of the VI should immediately be able to bill the entire cost of the inspection, value of any included fines and any associated towing fees, to the department of the officer that issued the inspection/fines. NO MORE GETTING TO WALK AWAY AFTER FLIPPANT ABUSE OF POWER.

Is it really necessary to go back to the manufacturer dealership for the inspection? When did the rules change that we cant choose the licensed facility of our choice for the inspection?

VPD is forcing it because "someone" told them they had an in for getting the car passed easily, and would just re-mod it right after passing. And apparently by only allowing the original manufacturer to do the inspection, they reserve the right to not accept a passed VI from the non OEM shop.

If it is ICBC licenced- it must be the same

What was the reasoning for the "other" charge? | From the looks of it, your cousin will be just as qualified as any traffic VPD officer right now.
What VPD doing is totally unstainable. How bad does it look when you pull over someone, and they ask what's wrong according to the MVA , and you can't give them a legitimate answer? The office literally pulled out the MVA and could not find anything to site as an infraction.. shouldn't they know the MVA in and out before being qualified to issue tickets? There is literally zero logic to what they're doing.
What are Cains acquaintances thinking? Do none of them see what's wrong with what they're doing? Are they all afraid to speak up in the department?
