Motorcade Today
 

Anyone know who is in town today?

I saw a motorcade today on the Arthur Laing going northbound, complete with the northbound bridge closure (I was heading south), and a crapton of VPD officers on motorcycles. The motorcade wasn't tiny either, there were at least 5+ black and tinted Lincolns.

This was at around 12:30PM today (6/22)

Just thought maybe someone on RS would know!

isn't justin bieber in town?

^ lol.....

:bowrofl:

They know people want to kill him

ROFL!

man when i was in ottawa, not even harper gets that treatment. he has 2 suvs one behind and one in front and then he sits ina towncar in the middle.

yep I'm pretty sure it was just a practice run because when I was going east on west 4th today they were going west towards ubc/spanish banks. Then they pulled a uturn and went east and came up behind me. I was at a redlight and one of the motorcycle cops came in the middle of the intersection, stopped, told me to turn right. I told him to fuck off, turned right then took the back alleys all the way to the street before burrard. I almost got ahead of them but there were too many stop signs on the way :( I know, kinda stupid but felt like I was in the bourne ultimatum or some shit :D I think they turned right on burrard.

Now this is what you call a motorcade;

^^this one seems more badass

crazy steep hill

not exactly motorcade but pretty gangster nonetheless

^^ Hate the French as much as you want, but they sure know how to put on a show.

As for the Cadillac limo... I didn't realize just how effin' ugly it actually was.

Canadian PM's and reps are always low-key. It's because they don't really have a lot of power

and of course

we know motorcades just attract more attention

One of the SUV's in Obama's motorcade has this in it...

^ You know the guy is itching to use it.

^ no point

if someone snipe the shooter, the gun is totally useless.

now if they made a robot one, when someone controls from in the car. now thats money!

Here's another one but not as nutty as the one posted but nice cars nonetheless. This dude also owns a Reventon and a shitload of other exotics.

^that black camry looks so out of place..

if there's a sniper..chances are they can probably kill whoever is in the car regardless of bulletproof glass

if i was planning security for obama, id have the craziest motorcade for him include air support.

n then ill transport mr. president in a bread delivery truck to the destination using an alternate route. ultimate ploy.
