A Parade of Cops - Prior & Clark
 
A huge parade of police on motorcycles escorted 4 undercover cop cars Eastbound on Prior before making a left and going Northbound on Clark around 10:15am.

I thought it was Obama for a sec :haha: with how one of the guys in the car threw themselves, shielding whoever was in the car from the public eye. All the men inside the car were in suits, driving slowly, had on ear pieces.

wonder who it can be

hk20000 01-15-2009 11:41 AM

Why are you following my bodyguards? The man inside is a decoy though.

Girl 01-15-2009 12:39 PM

Apparently it was Harper? Says someone at my office.

tonyvu 01-15-2009 01:33 PM

Gumby 01-15-2009 01:36 PM

Shun Izaki 01-15-2009 01:39 PM

Nah, it's agent smith and his agent cronies.

They're just going to get jappadogs :)

SoulCrusher 01-15-2009 03:02 PM

Maybe the cops all got together to protest the price increases at Tim Hortons

they stopped in front of the library square on robson st. then i saw this couple surrounded by bodyguards walking around, they went into the starbucks and the some of the bodyguards were surrounding that starbucks. after that they walked up robson and don't know where they went. thought they might be some celebrity. couldn't get a close look at their faces.

k2_alpha 01-15-2009 05:30 PM

^police dont generally protect celebrity.... i might be wrong though

and it should not be Obama, his trip is slated to for after he becomes the president
Its not until later this week.

Harvey Specter 01-15-2009 05:45 PM

LOL, seriously if it was Obama don't you think it would be front page news?

kanachan 01-15-2009 06:23 PM

I don't know if there's any connection, but yesterday Lexi and I saw 2 fighter jets flying low towards YVR around 3-4pm

Ulic Qel-Droma 01-15-2009 06:27 PM

if it was obama security would be way fucking tighter.

all routes would be preplanned and they'd have alternate routes.

most if not all garbage cans, mail boxes would be moved away from main routes. etc.

they'd have a mine detector car first in line, and they'd also have air support usually in the form of helicopters.

it's very obvious when the president comes visit.

shenmecar 01-15-2009 06:42 PM

its someone important, but that not important. lol

SpuGen 01-15-2009 06:58 PM

that happens all the time.
the air force uses YVR to train pilots in landing at civilian airports.

Synaptik 01-15-2009 08:30 PM

Harvey Specter 01-15-2009 08:33 PM

Yup.

If it was a potus motorcade, every single side street would be blocked off with uniformed police for the entire route. Last time we had a President in town (I think it was Clinton) I got stuck on 49th ave (at Granville) because they shut down the entire route to let the motorcade drive by.

Definitely not a celeb.

what you saw probably a second tier politician...or maybe that police agent testifying at the ongoing HA trial? Maybe he really needed some java before going to court.
