I truly hope the thing with Porsche Club happens, and CVSE is involved to some extent. I suspect little will change though as this is clearly not a problem with the lack of information. For this to end we need oversight and demand for accountability from the higher ups.
Since the beginning I have stated this situation will not just blow over. In fact, things will likely get worse before they get better. Below is an example of how something like this plays out.
A loophole is exploited by certain officers to show their superiors they are working their rear ends off making this world a better place one illegitimate inspection at a time. It is a numbers game, and this rapid growth is obviously not sustainable and brings its own problems like it does in any other business. The optimistic numbers need to at least be maintained if they do not reflect continued growth, and they are running out of legally modified cars on the road to go after. Now they target people with unmodified toys who, when treated unfairly, will not likely receive sympathy from the general public anyway. They will tell them to take it up with the manufacturers of their toys, who will not do a damn thing because their cars are certified by the country's governing body to be road worthy. But hey just because the car can be legally sold and operated in the country does not mean the same applies in this city.
Again, I recognize that there are lot of good officers who rightfully take pride in what they do everyday, and some cars absolutely should be removed from our roads. I can imagine how frustrating it can be for the hard working officers in the unit who just want to do the right thing but are constantly judged against the inflated numbers of their peers.
Sigh...
