Why is no one sending their videos in and posting pics of their cars? This is very simple, fear of police retaliation. Imagine a sergeant who knows you, and your car. Have fun driving then.
People really aren't coming to into vancouver anymore

first off, thanks for a well-written response. Many good points without having to resort to name-calling
as always, there are reasonable limits to expression of freedom

Freedom of expression in Canada is not absolute; Section 1 of the Charter allows the government to pass laws that limit free expression so long as the limits are reasonable and can be justified in a free and democratic society.

this argument reminds me of the FOBs in school that does something disgusting, and when you glare at them their defense is "what, it's a fwee cuntrie!"
i feel sorry for those worried about police retaliation in Canada. This is not Russia nor Indonesia. you oughta have pretty bad encounter, watched too many black lives matter coverage or a not so clean record to be that afraid of law enforcement if fear of backlash is what keeps you up at night

If you are, give your head a shake and re-evaluate what your hobby actually even is, cuz apparently it’s just being “devil’s advocate” and not a car enthusiast. I guess some people’s username itself should be a hint as to their actual intentions here.
It’s already an uphill battle without you negative nancies who say there’s no issue or fighting it won’t work. 90+ pages of posts say otherwise. My daily driver is 100% stock and I personally have nothing to worry about from this, but the sudden overextension of powers makes me livid. It should make any car enthusiast livid.
Seriously, I have no idea what some of you goofs saying the VPD are justified or trying to shoot efforts down are even a member of this forum for. You call yourselves realists? Fuck right off and shame on you if any of you self righteous pricks ever once sped even 1km/h over the limit or crossed any road not at an intersection cuz VPD could suddenly out of nowhere excessively enforce every law the same way. You going to sit there like a cuckold saying “Well technically speaking I did break the law, pay to play and all that” and just take it then too?

give your narrow-minded head a shake if you discredit people as car enthusiasts solely because they don't drive or agree with a jacked up F350 or a stanced nissan
and is this really a car forum any more? when's the last time we had a forum-wide meet? when's the last time mechanical thread or what i did to my car had active discussion? it's mostly craigslist posts, potato pics of their vehicle (of which we can easily just do on instagram), and throw in some real estate talks.
my biggest concern and empathy is for the corporate/businesses affected, not so much for the individuals. I did at first but the lack of cohesion in finding a solution has made me apathetic to it.
like i've said before, it's a criticism if you provide a solution. Otherwise, it's just bitching and whining. People want to go after this from abuse of power angle, nope still nothing concrete. but hey, at least they had a game plan.
who is more entitled? me wanting less cars on the road in Vancouver (see snow thread where morning commutes was cut down Friday morning), or for the modified scene wanting to hold onto their freedom of expression in what's already a grey area of the law?
