Cop: Just a heads up, if we hear your exhaust from a block away you're going to receive a ticket.
Me: Ok but I don't rev my engine so it's not going to be an issue.
Cop: Well I know all the modes in these cars and if you have it in sport mode and I can hear it I will ticket you.
Me: Ok but it's a stock exhaust which meets the federal requirements so how can you ticket me for a stock exhaust even if I drive in sport mode?
Cop: Well I can find a way(?)
Me: Find a way? How? I'll just dispute the ticket and prove to the judge the exhaust is stock.
Cop: I'm just telling you don't make noise, I don't want to hear your exhaust. I've ticketed your buddies and I will ticket you.
Me: My buddies? How do you know who my buddies are? I laugh. And what do you mean "don't make noise". Of course my car is going to make a noise but it's within the legal requirements.
Cop after a long pause: Provincial laws are different and we can ticket you. I'm a nice guy to give you a heads up, take my advice. Maybe you should stay out of DT. Have another call, good day.

Actually, something kinda similar to this happened to someone I know. He drives a C7 Corvette Grand Sport, and while we were chilling around the track before the autocross, he told me there was one time he was stopped at the side of the street, and the cops swooped by because someone complained about loud exhausts. No one was there except for him, so they just issued him a VI despite his car being completely stock. I informed him that if he wants, he can go to a small claims court to fight it.
The weird thing is that it actually happened in Victoria, not Vancouver. I can imagine this going a lot worse in Van.
