Having said that, I regret my earlier statement. I have seen the light - The laws are flawed, the VPD is incompetent, and a group of automotive enthusiasts engaging in meaningful online dialogue can stimulate intelligent policy change and more effective independent oversight of the VPD.

Hey Jason, while I got you here:

So I was driving my Huracan in DT on the Saturday and there were two bike cops who had a limo bus pulled over. So I'm chilling at the lights and one of the of the cops comes over and tells me to roll my window down. Here's how the convo went down:
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.
