looks like the bad karma is spreading around. My old man got pulled over in his CTS-V, but in his case, it is very loud. corsa sport, kooks headers, 600 horsepower at the wheels. heres how the story goes

Cop pulls my dad over but cant see his face (20% tint on the windows)
cop approaches car with hand on gun
cop realizes my dad is a 60 year old (not the guy you would expect to be driving an all black out V)
cop then asks my dad to rev the car for him
cop proceeds to tell my dad he loves the sound, "i though you were some young hot head, no problem have a nice day"

Looks like they're just out to target young men with nice cars, he also told my dad the car is too low BUT ITS THE STOCK HEIGHT!!!!!

i have had the same problem for excessive noise with my w7 subs. here is the problem, the law states that houses (if youre having a party lets say) can make noise up until 11pm, but i get tickets in the day time for having loud bass!!!

lets spread awareness of this matter
This is getting ridiculous

Note to self: Buy a dash cam ASAP! Is this the Blackvue DR400G-HD?
Thanks for posting. This is gonna blow up like that last video of the TSX backing up...

I see that nextmod is selling them, maybe if we get a group together we can get a discounted price on them

[Kyter]

I'm in as well if a group buy is arranged. I'm sure it will fill fast.

You can get the Blackvue DR400G off ebay for ~$250. It's one of best out there. There was a group buy on it a while ago on RFD...I'm kicking myself for not jumping on it then

[karkid]

Was your scenario similar to the OP? All stock cats in place? Golf tee mod?

Sure, if you want a bigger fine :P

[Javy]

Sorry this happend to you OP. I had a similar situation with my last car. Car had stock exhaust system with an intake. Got pulled over by a cop saying it was loud. I told him my car was all stock. He told me "well figure it out but its loud."

Took my car to a local shop, put in on a lift, took pictures of the exhaust, gave the guy 10 bucks and told him to write me a receipt saying its a stock exhaust. When I took it to court, I didnt say a word besided showing the judge the paper and receipt.

Case dismissed. Waste of time brother. Hope you get this resolved.

This may be a bit off topic, but if you do get one of these BS tickets, or any ticket for that matter and you 'win' in court, assuming you had to take time off work in order to make the court date, can you get the province/city to pay for wasting your time @ your hourly rate? I mean, these cases are baseless, who's responsible?

This is what I mean. What is protecting citizens from cops abusing their power and waisting our time and money? Somebody needs to be held accountable.

I'm sure you could, but given how slow and shitty the legal system/ government is in this country, you'll be waiting for years, have to jump threw many hoops, waste more time and loose more money in the process. Basically you are screwed. This country claims innocent until proven guilty. Even though your innocent you still get screwed.....

A little strong in my opinion, overall a lot of PRO and CONS here, much like anywhere else I suppose. But we have become a nation that is overpoliced.

The polices never catch any real criminals because they afraid to get shot in the head, and they dont reward from it.

What they do all day is catching good citizens on the road so they can rob $$$, they probably get commission from it and have monthly quota that they need to meet, just like a bank salesperson!!!

The worst part is they NEVER GET INVOLVED WHEN YOU NEED HELP

I've been through so many of these tickets with my old accord and it had a loud fart can exhaust which WAS improper. Ask for disclosure, ticket will get tossed 100% I've had maybe 8 of them tossed from doing this.

[markham335i]

Hmmm well the notion of innocent until proven guilty comes from the movies, it's not how most western governments operate. That's why they ask you if you are guilty or not guilty. People associate the words not guilty with innocent but that's not how the court defines them.

Try saying innocent and see how fast the court gets upset - there's a reason they don't like that word. You are absolutely entitled to be compensated for your time in the form of a counter claim however you have to learn why and how for yourself. Lawyers generally have no clue about that.

Also, from the posted video I can clearly see one code of conduct violation. Again, you need to spend the time learning what is a code of conduct, how to conduct your own self in court, and who (if anyone) has jurisdiction over you. It's fun to learn but until that time, you're best sticking to hired help.
