Only traffic enforcement officers would care. My relative in the RCMP told me basically that general duties and non-traffic specific members usually don't bother with you unless you do something really bad.

If you ran an amber in front of a traffic member, you'd would likely get pulled over, but a general duties member would likely only pull you over if you ran the red.

Same with VI's, if you passed a general duties member, unless your muffler was dragging on the road behind you, you probably would not get stopped.

So, if you happen to drive by a motorcycle cop or unmarked cruiser, then get ready to open your glove box as the unmarked ones are either inspectors or traffic division.

Oh, and he also mentioned that there are no quotas, but for a traffic cop, the easiest way to prove to your supervisor that you are doing work is to show him that you're writing tickets for traffic violations.
