plus, the reason why bike cops seem to be the ones focusing their attention on you and your cars (a plural "you" here) is that they're ALL traffic cops and it's their job to help enforce the motor vehicle act (in addition to the CCC). general patrol members, i would assume, have less of an interest in lesser motor vehicle act offences as they're there to patrol the streets for crime.

speaking of the bc motor vehicle act:

7.05 (8) No person shall drive or operate on a highway a motor vehicle which has affixed to or placed on the windshield or a window any material that reduces the light transmitted through the windshield or window unless the material is affixed to or placed on

(a) the windshield but not more than 75 mm below the top of the windshield,

(b) a side window that is behind the driver, or

(c) the rear window if the motor vehicle is equipped with outside rear view mirrors on the left and right side of the motor vehicle.

(9) If a motor vehicle contains manufactured glass, tinting contained within the glass must meet the minimum light transmittancy requirements under the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

most provinces prohibit such tint so tough luck.

moral of the post:
1) if you violate the Act, you're just asking for unwanted attention. quick solution: don't violate the act.
2) bike cops are traffic cops. if you're violating the Act, expect the unwated attention from them.

However they are still POLICE. Thus, they still enforce the CCC. :rolleyes:
