The issue is... this sets a rather slippery slope of the precedence where...
VPD doesnt have to catch you in the act, dont have to prove anything with hard evidence. And don't have to wait until you are on a public road apparantly...
All they need is a complaint, and there... charged and guilty.
Like Prelude said above ^, the system can totally be abused if there arn't any checks and balances, does the VPD even go to the neighbor first and see if there are any substaintial proof?
WHAT IF... and I am saying... WHAT IF there is a car very much that looks like your neighbor's car (but it isn't) that lives half a block down from you. You get woken up everyday and you look out the window and be like.. FUCK NEIGHBOR A and his car, I am gonna call the cops and fucking get his car off the road. When in fact it was neighbor B that lives 10 houses down from you is the car that you are after. (Yes, chances are slim, but you know what else? The average guy that cant tell a white civic, from a white corolla, from a white elantra while standing by their window in their house)
The cops shows up at neighbor A's door, says we have a complaint that your car is not compliant, here is your ticket and VI, doesnt matter if your car is not the same car. We have a description here saying it is your car driving on this road yesterday at this time, and your car was nosiy af.
No, you dont have to start your car now.
No, we wont need to do a decible test.
You are now being given a VI with no recourse. It is now your responsibility to pay out of your pocket to prove your car is compliant.
Have a nice day.
See how that sounds? Does this sound like Canada to you?

So, you're all assuming the kid who still lives with daddy but spent all his (or daddys) money on making his car louder for..literally no reason other than to make it louder to make sure people look at him...isn't lying or exaggerating?
And you admit "we all know how loud that car is" but are still crying "cops don't know how loud that car is"?
This went from "don't VI stock cars" to "well maybe the guy installed the invidia exhaust that actually makes it quieter than stock and we should do a db test"? I guess it didn't occur to you that they might've seen the mods, or the neighbors have their own evidence, or the idiot kid even admitted all his mods?
Nah lets believe that he's 100% innocent cause I read it on the internet and it fits my narrative.
