If they made an announcement through the media that cars aren’t allowed to be modified in Vancouver anymore and that existing rules are going to be strictly enforced... okay go, fair enough, there’d likely be a lot of backlash but at least everyone gets a chance to correct the wrong and it’s not a big mystery

why dont you actually read a bit into your examples if you're gonna use them as analogies?
just because they never enforced something actively/in a blitz doesn't mean it's NOT a problem
a quick google will tell you 2,300 peds were in injured in BC in 2013, with 52 fatalities.
so yes, they DO ticket people for jaywalking, try crossing Kingsway from Metrotown willy-nilly
why does it matter if they're publicly announcing if they're gonna ramp up enforcement in one problem area or not?
obvious not the same severity but do you think they broadcasted to the central news agency in China they're gonna extradite people who broke international sanctions before they snatched Huawei CFO?
there were bloody like several road signs saying they're catching distracted driving and a few blocks later they still caught a whole bunch

even if they did say they're tightening up against car modifications, were you actually going to revert thousands of dollars in mods and go back to 4x4 status voluntarily? i didn't fucking think so
a law isn't invalid just because of ignorance/they didn't give you a heads up LOL
while they could start with education/warning, it's within their means to hand you a ticket
should there at least be a mechanism to dispute said ticket, yes of course!
