I dont actually think they can legally tell you where to take your car for mechanical/safety inspection. the law says use a DIF. the law says they can order your to send your car to a place to be inspected by a peace officer for scrutiny at any time. it doesnt mean they can order you to send it to a specific place for the VI inspection, as cops arent the experts to say your car is safe, they just get to question its safety. I assume vpd are mixing this up and use it as intimidation. If they could tell you where to have it inspected, they could just send it to there friends shop and write 10 tickets a day.

do the police even have the power to pull back an n/o? arent you just supposed to submit the inspection to icbc? a judge would be the one to talk too after you get an order, even if your cars stock you will still have to do it.... sucks but its the way it is.
