“If we can establish someone has parts and they're juicing up their car — obviously for the purpose of street racing — then we can seize those vehicles,” Ontario Attorney General Michael Bryant said. “We will seize it and you will never see it again. We will crush your car, we will crush the parts.”

actually no any car that LOOKS modified they are pulling over and checking it all out..if the engine is done up for any racing they WILL assume street racing they can and WILL seize ur car and crush it even if ur not caught in action.. today was the FIRST day they started it and already around this area they pulled 75 cars

If your caught street racing then I dont see why your car shouldnt be crushed.
But just for souping up your car? Give me a f'n break

yeah my sis told me about it two days ago and i thought about posting but i had no evidance that it was true... but what confuses me the most is those lines they drew, like "if your car is modified for street racing", how do they define that, what is a car modified for strret racing? and based on what do they assume that it is? i undersatnd if you have nitrus in your car your just f'ed lol, but other than that i honestly cant make up a definition for that, they honestly cant start pulling ppl over and destrying their cars, especially that the right of modifying cars has and still been protected under the law, like WTF, im sooo confused
Does anyone know if they're claiming to have the legal right to steal and crush vehicles from out-of-provincers? If I drive from Montreal to visit my brother in Waterloo, can they legally steal my car and crush it?
I'm seriously at a loss for words. I thought all people, whether you work for the government or not, were seen as equal in the eyes of the law??
How the hell is it legal for a cop to steal my car, infringing on my private property rights, when I have committed no crime, and yet it is illegal for me to steal a cop's car?
Aren't we all equal, with equal rights? Or is that too ol'skool?

Unfortunately.. this hasnt been true since the 60's. And its only getting worse. Cops will ALWAYS assume you have done something wrong its their job to figure out what and find a way to penalize you for it (whatever IT maybe) I wont go further off topic to prove the point.. but anyone in the US can be arrested instantly on the word of anyone for any given offense. Sometimes even from anonymous tips.In America, you are Innocent until proven guilty.
As for the Ontario law.. Time to take the stickers off your windows and the huge wings off the back.. look on the bright side.. its kinda like a "Anti-Rice" bill More people will be building sleepers and someone will likely invent a muffler that quiets AND increases power and it wont be huge like the ones that are so easy to spot on most imports today
