Yeah, I was told the same thing. My cousin who was RCMP doesn't bother pulling you over unless you do something very bad. Basically, it's not 'his' job to police traffic unless it's something very dangerous.
Traffic cops on the other hand are expected to hand out a certain number of violation tickets per shift so, they will nab you any minor infraction. Basically, don't do anything illegal in the vicinity of a motorcycle cop or unmarked cruiser as those are likely the traffic cops.
