Default Where is the Justice!!!?

As you can see my S2K age is very young, I am in the process of getting the car fairly soon. This happened in my Lude. Just wanted to let out some frustration. I was basically set up this morning. Here is how the story went.

I was on my way to work this morning, minding my own business. Driving the speed limit all the way and at no time reckless. (My engine was cold at the time too) Anyway, I was on a side street and see a cop ahead. I thought to myself, great, now I

at court ask them how good their ears are and if they are official "decible" level experts just by reving the engine with no electronic measuring device? The officer's hearing must be amazing to tell that the muffler is too loud as you pass by and ask where one can get this great training to measure decibles just with your ears.
Then ask if they actually use radars to check the speed of a car or if the officer just can look at a car and see that it is going 76 mph instead of 72mph. what a prick cop.

Man i feel your pain, Toronto cops have got to be the biggest *&%$ suckers when it comes to modified cars in this city. Anything with a muffler tip, lowered an inch is a problem around here and im sick of it.
My drivin record is screwd due to this kind of police harrassment.
Those 2 tickets you got dont envolve ant demerit points. I would take em to court, i bet he wont show, and if he does ask for a fine reduction, tell em you aint got a job. Chances are he wont even show for this because the judge will think hes an idiot for wastin his time..
Trust me

Its movies like Fast and The furious that kill it for everyone.
Peace

So in Canada the car cannot have an aftermarket exhaust on it without a silencer? What a horrible rule!
