it's not definitive quota as in fines
they can give out warnings and that will count towards 'quota'
obviously if they all gave out only 100% warnings, I don't think that will fly either.
the truth is probably somewhere in the middle
moot point as most of the poh poh hate here is squarely on the VPD, not RCMP

So a reporter from CTV News just pm'd me regarding this thread. As I personally do not have a story to tell, as stated in OP, I am trying to facilitate this process.
As a result, please PM me and list below your username if interested in potentially a story.

The stocker the car the better for their story. The average citizen should also (justifiably) feel under threat by the abuses and actions of the VPD recently.

I'd do it, but I fear further prosecution. Plus I'm not exactly sure I wanna be the face of this thing. Maybe they can blur out my face and then deep throat my voice lawl...

I agree that anonymity will be important. And I sympathize with your concerns, as I have the same ones. I will contact the reporter and see if we can work out some sort of anonymity. I could see some backlash here with the police and general public and that's not something that I want on public record.

I think there are a few ways this needs to be looked at if ctv is investagating and all involved should step up.
- this said officer/traffic team is acting out of spite
- vehicles that are completely stock are being stopped
- vehicles that are slightly modified but are within the MVA are being stopped(clear lack of knowledge/training)
- officer forcing an inspection at specific locations
- out of pocket cost to prove innocence with no way to dispute

This Officer Cain is clearly uninformed about the MVA rules. He’s basically using scare tactics and his authority to place VIs on all these vehicles.
On my situation alone:
-says my car is too low on the fact that I don’t have 1” fender/tire gap.
-says my exhaust is illegal because it is not OEM
I’m not even mad about getting a VI anymore. I’m infuriated that he’s going around spewing false MVA rules. I hope someone with the right avenues and resources can make this issue more visible. I, personally, will be writing a letter to the chief about my personal experiences in this matter.

Can VI's be contested? Can someone escalate a VI into a courtroom and if so how?

While the situation of multiple VI's might be infuriating, or the handling of it by police (not returning calls or whatever). But if you ultimately deserved the VI's because your car doesn't meet standards then you are just going to make us all look stupid getting on TV.
Besides, most people might wonder what the fuck is up with the herpes mask.

Ok, the reporter has gotten back to me: Quote: I wouldn’t mind speaking to you off the record, providing you anonymity as requested, but I am looking for at least one person in the Revscene community who would be willing to go on the record and speak to me on camera.
As you can imagine, it would give the story more credibility if someone affected is willing to show their face and provide their name. | | |

What I would do? Find a DIF and pass the inspection, go to ICBC with the inspection and get your insurance.

we are a group of whining pussies and deserved to take it in the ass when cain comes around. Someone grow a pair and get this interview done. the popo are obviously relying on the fact were a bunch of useless tits whom cant get organised for a meet let alone something more serious like taking back the right to drive our car's.

What happened to all the "stock" cars that got VIed, suddenly don't want your chance at redemption?
And if not, you'd think with all the rattle cans, stance, and boy racer wings, you people would actually jump at the chance for real attention.

whoever goes on record should just present facts, and leave emotions, conspiracies and the blame-game out of it
and don't mention REVscene, I don't suppose that is a name the general public can sympathize with.

might be interesting to bring up the "highway of dreams" (i think thats what it was called) that was at the pne and explain how all of those cars also fall into this category. the news was all over those cars this year talking about how much people loved seeing them and kids talking about how cool they looked. each and every one of those would get slapped with a vi based on the way they are enforcing the mva right now,

I am sorry if this has been answered already. I admit I didn't actually go through the whole 36 pages of the thread.
1.) Anyone actually got a VI for a completely stock car? I mean COMPLETELY, no modifications at all.
2.) For those who got VI'ed, anyone passed the inspection without changing anything on their car at all?
I drive in Vancouver everyday and would just like some information regarding this matter.
Thank you in advance.

Don't think this has been posted yet. Found this article while googling about BC vehicle inspection. Not sure what the outcome of this article was coming from a smaller news outlet based out of the Okanagan and in 2015. Gives an idea of what a news interview/article might look like.

i think those who had a VI with the side license plate should come up.
Then the news can pressure the police to ask why certain cars (e.g. evo x, most of the new alfas, etc.) have side license plate from the factory, and whether they can point to the MVA on what is being infringed.
