I am sure it does. Canadian laws prohibit the use of radar detectors and if you have one, the RCMP are authorized to seize it and destroy it. Those mounties are tough like state troupers in the US. I am sure they would at least invite you to leave and never come back, until your car is not jacked for street racing. Then again, what parts are they talking about? Shocks?Turbo's?NOS?. So many parts could be considered if you are souping up your car.

Oh, I totally agree. I'm not one to participate nor is my car even modified. I just can't imagine having my car crushed because I have an aftermarket spoiler, wheels and lowered suspension... By the sound of the article, you could run the risk of having this happen to you if you just happen to pass a mountie in a bad mood.

that was my point, you don't have to go racing to be guilty.

street racing is stupid period.

the question is however, who defines what race equipment is?
are 18 inch wheels racing equipment?
a loud exhaust. nitrous injection? chin spoiler? where do you draw the line?

if two cars are traveling at a high rate of speed, are they racing or just going to the same place.

Depends.

If its a Red BMW and a silver S2000, I'd say they might be racing.

Let's ask JT!

This is horse shit. These are probably the same people that think meat comes from the supermarket shelf.
