The CTV article showed Sept to Dec VI count were 485. If just 20% were issued without cause, that is 97 complaints. These 97 complaints would surly raise a review.

I'm not a lawyer and this isn't legal advice.
The complaints need to be warranted. If there is no clear basis for a complaint, then it's worthless.
If VPD is issuing notices with orders that state you must go to a dealer or other nonsense like that, that's an issue a judge should weigh in on.
The problem here is that we have laws that are unclear or unreasonable, and we have the police making up their own laws.
For example, having a car with "visible camber" or being ordered to have the vehicle dealer inspected when there is no dealer that does inspections. These guys are using the rules in ways that were never intended.
The only way to really get this straightened out is through a judicial review. This is what the lawyer in the CTV story was explaining. Once a Judge weighs in, that actually becomes part of the law.
For example, if a Judge ruled that you can take your car to any designated inspection facility despite being ordered to the dealer, the police would have to abide by that. If they didn't, that would be a very clear basis for a complaint and the VPD would need to take it seriously or they could face legal consequences.
