yea right at the off ramp. They don't even try to hide the fact they are there. But once you noticed its already too late. i think they are there more since they changed the speed limit to 30km/hr going into the street

Again, do you plan on bringing anything new to the table in terms of discussion?

Probably:

It's stock with a slight 2 inch drop, and spacers to fill the fenders, and a stock sounding megan racing exhaust.

Quite surprised to hear that the traffic cops are still out at that hour handing out VIs on a regular week night. FailFish

Unless it's been changed since I've seen it, it shouldn't be. It's his mom's car LOL

Ironically, the TL got VI'd and not his bike

With (significantly?) less funding, it is inevitible that VPD will have to cut back their operations one way or another. However, officers require a huge amount of training (even though our favourite traffic officers here are obviously poorly / improperly trained) before they can go into active duty, so they are an expensive asset for the police force, and I really wouldn't expect the VPD to reduce headcount all that much despite the funding reductions . Or at least, I don't think it make sense for them to actively reduce officer head counts.

But hopefully they will reduce the amount of frivolous / non-essential services and operations. And if you ask me, having officers go out to issue N&O is a pretty low priority operation.

More tickets

They'll now need the revenue

Thats fine. People who don't drive by the rules deserve to be ticketed. VI’s don't generate revenue.

VI are revenue generating for the inspection facilities. Not the city.

Just got a Box 2 VI and 3 fat citations for no muffler and tinted lights from the infamous Officer Cain. Obviously I'm guilty as can be since I actually have no mufflers or resonators on my car, but just throwing this out there as another VI for the records.

In turn, Cain sends his reports to his superiors about the work hes been doing for the city. Plus his presence and work activity

Superiors then ask the City for more funding because VPD is doing a lot of work, possible BS about lack of resources etc..VPD all gets a raise or more budget to hire more on the force

Oh wait..this will put the puzzle pieces together now

Just for our knowledge, what kind of car? Any photos? It’s good to have visual aid to see how stock a car looks to getting pulled over

Looks like the taxi got dinged hard with excessive speeding and a box 1 VI.
