This cancer is really going to spread..

I am going to guess it is the VPD having a training session on Reggie's S15 exhaust

Lancer pulled over on Kingsway today. It looked modified a little but didnt look lowered. Dont know if it was a VI stop or for something else. Seems like the same unmarked VPD SUV that I saw the other day that stopped a modded FR-S.

i must have lucked out today. I took the mazy right past marine and Elliot but i didn't run into the po po.

I've been fine in Richmond with a side plate mount and custom plate for attention grabbing. Carbon fibre lip spoiler from factory is probably the only thing that sticks out, the car is bone stock.

Looks like two other vehicles today, an 8th Gen Civic and a is300 SportCross on Kingsway.

verified both vehicles got an VI

At the moment, it feels like the VPD are just taking pot-shots. We can't gather any solid evidence... Dare they try to round up everything in mass especially at an annual exhibit, and there should be a big organized backlash then.

That's grim but unfortunately likely to happen. This has gotten so crazy and almost unreasonable on certain extents.

I wonder what kind of form of an "anti-movement" could appear, maybe in the form of the auto show

Saw a VW Jetta MK2 got pulled over today at 49th near Boundary by a VPD Bike. She was not unreasonably low

VR6GTI · 01-05-2019, 06:50 PM

I guess there will be no RS meet this year?

Have it at VPD headquarters.

westopher · 01-05-2019, 07:04 PM

What really would trigger something is if someone who passed, left their car exact as passed, and was VI'd again. I fucking hope its not me, but ces't le vie.
I have my VI in my glove box, sticker on the windshield, and my inspector even wrote my passed ride height measurements, and notes about my seatbelts on the VI.
I'd suggest to anyone right now, check your car, make sure you are legal. Be calm as possible (even though its fucking impossible when you are being treated like a criminal, and a fucking moron by the police, with no just cause) and film the interaction, beginning to end. Document the issues cited immediately after the incident, and post it any avenue you can to highlight how it was unreasonable.
I'm sure some cars will pass exactly as they are, be left as is and get VI notice again at some point, the way things are going.

I’ve been completely fine in Richmond. I see police almost every day, and they don’t bat an eye at my lowered, bright orange wheels, completely covered in mud focus RS.

It’s no question this issue is just the VPD being fucked in the head

GS8 · 01-05-2019, 07:11 PM

Vancouver should be quarantined.

It's just too stupid of a city for the rest of us to live so close to...

My car is a 370z with amuse kit lowered on springs with a good finger gap between my wheels that dont have poke, also got intake and exhaust which are both pretty quiet when driving conservatively

aftermarket body kit, lowered ride height, aftermarket exhaust

i dont know, sounds like a valid VI

post the dashcam vid so we can hear how quiet the exhaust is

Look at majority of modern cars they all do that out of the factory.

RS hasn't been able to have meets in Vancouver since this shitshow
https://vcauto.wordpress.com/2014/03...ing-meet-2014/

Remember this shit?
It's always some dipshit kid that ruins everything that RS has tried to do with the general public.

We moved our meets to Adesa and now Tsawassen Mills because they were the only Venues that would let us hold events there.

Everytime RS takes a step forward, some idiots go and ruin it because they can't police themselves. Ten steps Back.

Remember the fuck your head guy?
Remember all the stupid shit other "organizers" have done trying to imitate us?

We host the 2 biggest Local meets. Spring and Summer. The rules have always been the same. It's free, enjoy yourselves, make friends, keep it clean and don't do stupid shit. And what always happens? The last time we were at Tsawassen Mills we filled up the entire lot, and it spread From Saks Off 5th to Milestones. Think that's gonna fly anymore?

The scene is not dead.
RS is not dead (we do Track events now with The Speed Syndicate)Plug: https://www.facebook.com/groups/748482455242714/

But you can thank the Stuart Chans, David Guans, Lorzeno Garcias, the Fuckyourhead's and the Duke Gedge's of the world who are going to put the final nails in the coffin.

RS has tried. The bossman SG has tried. RS has been trying for years. But at the end of the day, we're a small group of friends just trying to keep this thing going. RS has been around for almost 20 years now. Older than most of the new kids on the scene. But we can only do so much.

RS is not dead. But whether or not we have a meet in 2019 is up to the powers that be. Do YOU want to have a meet in Abbotsford? I don't.

Can confirm. Is300 sportcross apparently got it for non OEM steering wheel and seat

femmefatale · 01-05-2019, 08:18 PM

Currently both the undercover F-150 and Edge are currently on my street each with modded cars pulled over. I'm literally blocked in. Too close to home.

At least I'm still within my 30 days of VI so they can't VI me again?

edit: on mobile, didnt mean to quote.

Ugh are we neighbours? I was just pulled over by the undercover Edge and could see another cop further up ahead. Well my car is full on VI material and I know it. Camber, air suspension, retrofit headlights, exhaust. My days were numbered.

I was literally pulling into my underground parkade when I was pulled over. The edge pulled an immediate u-turn and pulled me over. I have the entire conversation and interaction on my dashcam which I've saved.

The officer said "So you know what happens now right?" .."Yup :|"

He called out my ride height, camber, and headlights. He asked me to rev my car up to 2k RPM and said the exhaust is fine but that he really doesn't give a shit about this stuff. I will say this officer was extremely nice once he could tell I wasn't bullshitting with him. We even joked around a bit.

He told me to wait as he will be calling his buddies to come take a look. If they think it's not road worthy then they'll do what they have to do. I knew I was fucked.

He came back saying it's my lucky day since I'm basically home. He told me he doesn't care what I do with my car but Officer Cain does. He even said this is Cain's thing and the rumours are true.

I was advised to make the necessary changes to my car as he had to put a report of it in and told me Cain now knows where I live. I had a good run, time to start reverting the obvious mods.

Yeah sounds like it. I'm just not obviously stating exactly where since I know they read this thread. If you were the VW then I'm pretty sure I'm across the street from you (thankfully I had an underground parkade to duck into once I saw the lights!). There was a black sti pulled over at the end of the block by the F-150.

I didn't know they strayed this far away from Kingsway lol.

It sucks though. People get fucking shot and stabbed at the bars on Granville street and there aren't crackdowns on everyone that goes to the bar and is publicly intoxicated. They close the fucking streets so everyone can stagger around blind in the middle of the street without dying.
Which is perfectly reasonable, because for every asshole, there are 50000 people that are just having a good time the way that they know how, and not trying to fuck up any shit in the process.

Yup that was me. I also thought we were a little safer over here..guess not.

it did happen to a friend. Had a valid stick on windshield and officer stated it wasn't valid, then began to tear at it with a razor blade. He has photos to prove it.

disgusting, unjust move.

Where is the integrity and trust? not with these officers.

westopher · 01-05-2019, 09:24 PM

What was the result of that interaction? Another VI and another pass?

Post the picks.

nexusxv · 01-05-2019, 09:58 PM

PS. I like the idea in general, except targeting particular officers, just target VPD in general, aka informational service and information collecting:

Poster campaign seeks complaints against two VPD officers

This Hurts them (again i would not put names there)

Quote:

The Vancouver Police Union criticized the poster campaign. President Tom Stamatakis said the province has a robust oversight process, and a widely distributed poster campaign could incite greater hostility toward the officers.
