Boys in Blue not playing fair! I was in Milton this evening visiting family.
I was south bound on hwy 25 just north of Dairy Rd. I see a Taxi pull out a block in front of me and fish tailing all over on the wet pavement. I say to the wife I would not want to be riding in that Taxi and all of a sudden it lights up like a slot machine.
An unmarked cruiser had a taxi sign on top of it! 8o
I pulled up behind it as the constable was getting out and the sign says "Police" instead of "Taxi" and had the tel phone #878-5511, on it.
Not nice! :x
So guys beware, they are not playing nice.

Holy ****!
As annoying as that is, its kinda clever. Wonder how many police vehicles are marked like this.
Would also be interesting to know how many people have called that number looking for a cab haha

Wow...I wonder if this has anything to do with the crackdown police are doing because of the new fast and the furious movie...I heard they are supposedly targeting all modded cars...maybe its related to the pacer program that was posted about earlier...
I've heard of the U.S having unmarked grand prixs...a cop will have his lights on with the grand prix pulled over at the side of the road...drivers will think the cops busy and continue to speed by...then the grand prix will pull out with lights flashing and give pursuit...

Seriously? man they are getting desperate. There's a pre school near me and one cop hangs out there and gives tickets for ANYTHING to the parents, and anybody driving by. I nearly got one for not stopping for a complete 2 seconds.....

I come from police officers, hell my fathers bulletproof vest is in the museum on College at headquarters. It's really changed, officers are more concerned with moving up in the force through tickets and arrests then actually doing their job properly.

I know about the 2 seconds thing, thats why I thought it was ridiculous, the officer actually told me "I wont be in court to fight it" which means that she was writing them to get her quota.

I dunno...sometimes I feel they target us (especially us younger guys) in sports cars more then they target a lot of these other idiots that I see on the road...

isn't it kind of deceiful or entrapment or something in a way? I have heard before that if you get a speeding ticket from a cop with radar, and the cop was hiding behind a pole and his car is not visible you can get it thrown out of court...something about it being like a trap or something I can't remember...I think if they can do this we should be allowed radar detectors...

I know...hell, a buddy of mine in an dumdumdumdumdum(heavily modded) got pulled over the other day by 8 cops...had him pop the hood (he did, he has nothing to hide)...cops were trying to tell him that his fuel lines were actually nitrous lines, and that he was running nitrous in the car...He doesnt run nitrous at all...They basically were just breaking his ***** and giving him a hard time...cops ended up giving him a couple tickets for anything they could muster up...guy has a clean record prior to this to...now he has to go fight all this crap.

My point they were going to nail him for something legal. Go figure.
Yes the end is near

Ahh, the arguement rages on! My $0.02 - I would rather see cops working hard to protect children and teenagers from the absurd amount of drug traffic in this country, than the guy with a @#tang or @#Q$ro who has performance exhaust, or a decent list of modds!
But hey, how many more kids need to die from Drug ODs from dealers roaming the high schools and jr highs with the latest drug of choice????
That is my question, and the same one I asked every single time wasting useless Cop who pulled me over for exhaust, or "to see who was driving the car."
No offense to those here involved, but ALL city COPS and EVERY SINGLE RCMP out there has ABSOLUTELY ZERO respect from me until they prove otherwise.
