I hope so... but at the same time, some have mentioned talking to Cain after they were pulled over and the guy sounded like he knows exactly what's going on and he's not planning to stop. In fact, he was quite happy to explain he's training a new squad of officers so that they can be more prepared once Spring hits when there'll be way more cars to target. lol........

Will keep my oem rims on and if i get pulled over again i will record it on video. If i get another VI i will be going to the news got a plan setup. My car is only slightly modded

What kind of rims do you have? Any pics?
Here's the thing.. if you took your car in for inspection as is, would you have passed? You probably didn't want to take the risk I guess?
You didn't mention about changing your exhaust. Was it because you didn't bother to or was it a stock exhaust? At this point, I'm not surprised if you can get VI'ed for a stock exhaust if you happen to have a high end performance car.

It's hard to get an accurate number. While for sure, there have been cars that deserved the VI, there has also been a good number of cars that don't. Like I said, there's only been one guy confident enough to go get inspected as is. He made it public in here with a lot of updates on the situation, RS as a community supported him including offering to pay for it. There are many others who could have been in the same situation, but didn't step up, therefore we don't know about it, and went back to stock to get their cars inspected because they didn't want to "risk" it. So many others also seem to make an announcement they got VI'ed. Then no follow up and we never hear from them again.
Not every one getting VI is on here or have an account to speak up, and lots of people are reporting cars being pulled over that look fairly stock. I know neither of us have any solid statistic, but what I can say is, I drive in Vancouver A LOT.. Like on a daily basis. I haven't seen many outrageous modified cars that look definitely VI worthy. It's winter, many of those heavy modified cars are in storage. I wouldn't be surprised if many of the cars being VI'ed now are mostly "stock"+ exhaust or slightly lowered or something like that. Or maybe they aren't using oem rims..
