This is the original complaint that was sent to OPCC in mid January 2019 regarding how VPD have been enforcing N&O. It was filed as a Service & Policy complaint:

The complaint was deemed to be "admissible", at which point an internal VPD investigation took place as per the standard complaint protocol. The following report is what came out of it:

A rebuttal (to the VPD report) was written and sent to the OPCC in mid July 2019 following the VPD investigation report:

Upon review of the rebuttal, the OPCC made the following recommendations to the Vancouver Police Board:
- To assess whether enforcement action taken by the Vancouver Police Department is arbitrary or is consistent with the relevant lawful authorities and department policies. It is recommended that a sample of Notice and Orders issued by the VPD be audited to determine the number of vehicles that were found to be in compliance with the law. This sample could include issues related to wheel alignment/camber and exhaust systems.
- The audit should assess VPD compliance with departmental policy related to the driver’s choice of which Designated Inspection Facility (DIF) the driver chooses to use (VPD Regulations and Procedures Manual, s. 1.10.13(viii) – Traffic Violations – Unsafe Vehicles)
- Determine whether any changes are required to VPD policy following this audit.
However, it is unclear whether those recommendations have been adopted, and what results came out of them had they been adopted.
