Hey everyone check out this recent article from here in Ontario, can you believe the power trip some officers take on people trying to enjoy their cars! In this case even worse because it's linked to charity!

Canadian police pull over entire Mini convoy — Autoblog

Heads up to everyone meeting and cruising, you never know what will be up the road

I read this on Autoblog. Very sad. I think cops here are a lot forgiving in the United States.

Another great Canadian police moment! Congrates!

This is just wrong...and it was a charity event too

red6spd · 05-04-2010, 01:38 PM

Thats messed up. Some of the things cops do is real messed up. I bothered by the cops alot just for having tint exhaust crap like that. I cant wait to see what happens when I get the Z.

What will happen is cops will tailgate you without lights on at night and wait for an excuse to switch on Christmas lights.

Fxxking tailgaters!

i guess the cops have nothing better to do.

arent they suppose to fight crime instead of screwing with charitable organizations like this?

Fail.

100% pure awesome. I thought cops could be pricks already, but I never EVER envisioned them using information given by a group doing a charity event to set up a trap and ticket them.

Take a step back and just put all the pieces together. The police were given the route for a charity event and agreed, together, to effectively **** these people up. Can you imagine what they were saying to each other while they planned this out? "It's time to nail these damn philanthropists! This'll teach them to help other people on our streets."

Abuse of power at its finest. No good deed goes unpunished.

That's dirty as hell.

CBRich · 05-04-2010, 06:08 PM

Another story to reaffirm to me that police are simply a source of revenue.

fullmonty · 05-04-2010, 06:19 PM

What makes it worse they were doing it for a charity

370zFORme!! · 05-04-2010, 06:20 PM

They prob thought the convoy was on their way to do some bank heist Italian Job style. As always I blame Canada...

m4a1mustang · 05-04-2010, 06:38 PM

Dirty! Though it does appear that a number of them were speeding... but still, they were set up so they were going to get stopped whether or not they were speeding.

That is so chicken ****!
