I am now very happy to share something with you from Kevin Yeung, the owner of that Porsche 911 Targa 4S that made the news some months ago for his completely stock, unmodified Porsche being VI'd. Here is the link:
Kevin has taken it upon himself to seek his own counsel to pursue this matter on being unfairly treated by the VPD and demanding that something be done in regards to their abuse of power when it comes to handing out VI's.
Below you will find an email that was written to the Deputy OPCC Commissioner: Andrea Spindler which outlines the clear differences on how the VPD treat someone that donates to the Vancouver Police Community Fund and someone that does not (95% of us fall under this category I imagine)
Please take some time to read this email and use it as a guideline for you, yourself to write in to the OPCC (the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner) to
ASpindler@opcc.bc.ca outlining the issues that you have faced with the VPD unlawfully issuing Vehicle Inspection Notices to your car. Andrea Spindler is the commissioner of the OPCC and we need to flood her inbox with as much evidence as we can with the constant abuse of power we have seen over the years by the VPD.
Please submit your emails as soon as possible outlining what you have been through. Be professional in your conduct and provide all the evidence that you can within your email. Thank you all for your support.
Good evening Deputy OPCC Commissioner Andrea Spindler

I personally know both Kevin Gordon and Kevin Yeung as businessmen who contribute a great deal back to our community. Kevin Gordon founded The Driven Project and Kevin Yeung was a Chairman for UNICEF. But this story is not about the two Kevins as people because they are both helpful humanitarians. This story is about inequality and the double standards applied by the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) that affects all motorists. The two Kevins are examples of how the VPD blatantly treats and mistreats motorists with their double standards. Being in the automobile sector, I wish to reach out to you the in the light of recent events. I personally love the automotive scene, I feel that I should reach out to in regards to this situation.
Both Kevins drive nice cars. Kevin Gordon drives a heavily modified Lamborghini Huracan Performante

Kevin Gordon received full support from the VPD who supplied five VPD Traffic Officers to escort his Lamborghini which sounded like this;

With their years of experience, training coupled with the amount of Notices and Orders that they issued in the past it is simply improbable that all five VPD Traffic Officers led by Sargent Mark Christensen who has over 33 years of experience himself could not hear that most of the supercars present exceed well over the 83db legal noise limits. It’s equally disingenuous to believe that none of the five Traffic Officers present noticed how illegally lowered the supercars were including the lead car were

Sargent Mark Christensen with his VPD Traffic colleagues walked around all the cars and had over an hour before departure to visually inspect all the cars before they led the roaring (and potentially unsafe for the children who were riding in them) supercar convoy across Vancouver’s neighbourhoods. The collective noise generated by all these cars driving in a convoy sounded like a thunderstorm. I have experienced these events personally driving my Zzzz with zero enhancements. Some of the vehicles present produce enough noise to the point where one can no longer think or concentrate during the drive.

Kevin Yeung drove not in a Supercar convoy but in regular everyday traffic when he was stopped by VPD and ordered to reverse his car dangerously across multiple lanes into oncoming traffic so that the VPD officer could conduct a noise test on his car. He received a Violation Ticket for excessive noise and a Notice and Order Box 2 (to be issued only when there are multiple deficiencies, or the deficiency is severe.) This Order required a Full Vehicle Inspection for his 4 year old Porsche which was well serviced by the local Vancouver Porsche store and had zero enhancements to anything on the vehicle.
It is rumoured that Kevin Gordon donated a generous sum to the Vancouver Police Community Fund and Kevin Yeung did not. Commissioner Spindler it’s very important for the OPCC to find out if the VPD received any benefits from Kevin Gordon.
All motorists share the road and are protected by equal rights across Canada. It’s to our public’s interest to know if the VPD applied double standards to benefit select motorists like Kevin Gordon above all motorists like Kevin Yeung. That is a breach of public trust and unlawful.
We are citizens fighting for and safeguarding equal rights for ALL motorists. Policing must have one and only one standard. Policing must be inclusive and never exclusive to benefit those who “donate” to the Police. I believe justice in Vancouver, justice in British Columbia and justice across Canada is NOT for sale.
Are the owners of sports cars being targeted in Vancouver? There are some drivers that believe this is the case. Greg Harper looks into it.
