Apparently, you haven't heard about our Alberta Sheriff Highway Patrol...

Sure have, but I haven't been pinched yet. Besides, they can't take your car for street racing. (Right??)

No, can't take your car for "racing". But they are out there, basically collecting road tolls, since all they do is hand out speeding tickets to people all going the same speed.

I loved getting burned by them last fall - worthless ticket on an amazingly empty stretch of rural highway, when I unintentionally let my speed pick up in the dark on a mild downhill. At the end of a long day spent actually driving the speed limit on cruise (making me just about the only person going that slow, but I turned it off when it got dark - like you're supposed to). Not that I'm bitter or anything. F*&%ing meter maids

I mean, thank goodness they were there to protect me...

Why is there always one guy from BC or AB to make us feel like tards? LOL, Whenever I see a thread about our gay policing or laws, there's always one to say "Sucks to live in Ontario" or "I feel sorry for you"... Which always makes us feel better ;D

I personally love the bendy-straw/glasses thing. One of you creative folk need to think something up for meth/water and meth runners.

I'm going to print out the Highway Traffic Act, read it, and label everything they might hassle me on. Then when they act all high and mighty, I can show the laws in their faces.... Might be a bad idea, but as long as I record it, it'll be fine.

I'm also going to print off the product descriptions of my mods, and the MSDS of washerfluid (which I have). It will also include LOTS OF PICTURES so the can "understand"

My 1 cent...

I didn't realize there were different motor vehicle acts through out Canada. The comment about printing out info about your set up is a good idea. The SRT-4's don't have mufflers from the factory. A girl I knew had a print out about it in her glove box, saved her from at least two tickets.

Whats the penalty for having Nitrous hooked up while on public roads?

I was also under the impression that you had to have a hazmat transport ticket as well to even carry nitrous in a vehicle.

on another note having the HTA in the glove box is genious, I did it about 6 years ago when I had my fc on the road and it saved me countless tickets for having an improper exhaust that exited at the perimeter of the vehicle(it doesn't say it has to come out the back) just cuz it came out the side they all thought i must have done something wrong.

another thing that I learned is that if you are polite you might get a bit further. It is like my grand daddy said you can slide a lot further on bullshit than you can sandpaper

In Ontario? I believe it is a roadside impound. Your car gets taken for 7 days, and you pay for towing and storage, plus a minimum $2000/maximum$10,000 fine.

I'm just going to buy this and slap a 460 in it:

Politeness does help, although I still got tickets, they were knocked down to a lower points bracket simply because I know how to use my manners and be a decent person with a cop. If they really start to act like ******** I know how to put my foot down and give it right back, but I have yet to have the need. Also I haven't been pulled over in about 5 years. I've deserved to be, just never been
