Eh. fark that little entitled douche in the ass. Damn street racing rich shiat kids.

Now the follow up story of the cops wanting the judge removed.

wait for it......

wait for it.......

Was he part of that group? Probably. Was he driving like an asshat and breaking laws? Probably.

But in the free world, especially in common-law countries, "probably" means exactly fark all. Next time maybe bring some evidence, Const. Fife.

I'd also like to contribute to the Molson fund for Judge McEwan.

This may surprise people, but cops can and do issue tickets based on witness statements.

This is not the sports car you're looking for....

That's a lot of vaguely racist tears in the comments.

farking jackboot militarized pigs. Did they pull him over in a Patriot Act-funded assault vehicle? Entitled bullies probably pepper-sprayed him, beat down his buddies taking video, and shipped him to Gitmo.

Oh, Canada? Sorry, what's all that aboot?

"Mounties seized 13 luxury vehicles that were allegedly speeding excessively through Metro Vancouver in broad dayling"

Impressive, CTV. And that's why no one respects a masters in journalism.

that would imply there are still white people left in B.C. to make racist comments in the first place. i don't think there has been a verified sighting of a caucasian in B.C for at least a good ten years now.

anonymous phonecalls != witness statements

/and even when relying on a statement they would need something more specific than this guy might have been in the area when something that might have been against the law might have happened

NightOwl2255: This may surprise people, but cops can and do issue tickets based on witness statements.

I remember spending ten minutes behind a War of 1812 veteran in a giant Cadillac doing 20 in a 55 waiting for a place to pass legally once. I finally found a spot to pass him and not two minutes later there was a license checkpoint. Just as the cop who was checking my license handed it back a big fat spittle-flecked bald deputy ran up to me and poked his head in my window to say,
"That passin' on a double-yella ain't no good, boy!"
"When did you see me do that?"
"That feller back there said you passed him on a double-yella."
"I wish I had. I'd have been here minutes ago if I hadn't waited for the only gap on this highway to pass him. He's a hazard."
"...I got my eye on you."

I get it. I made the old guy's pen0r shrink by passing him and he had the chance to get payback. Witness statements should NEVER be enough, because people are worthless.

Not that I sympathize with the street racing kiddies at all, but the "wrong kind of attention" is a big part of why I keep thinking about getting rid of my Mustang and picking up a smaller hatchback.

/gas mileage and me aging until the car looks like it's part of a mid-life crisis are both close seconds.

//still don't really want to get rid of it.

Wow, those are some angry racist Canucks in that thread, is that British Columbia, South Carolina now or something? Pancakes and syrup on me if those guys just hug it out. I'll even throw in a round of Labatts. What is that, like USD$6.37 max for the whole thread?

DUI = arrest on what you might do. Every drivers license should carry a vehicular manslaughter charge because we magically become capable of it then. Thought crime!

Sensible driving master? Why not sensible driving PhD?

xrayspx: Wow, those are some angry racist Canucks in that thread, is that British Columbia, South Carolina now or something?

Vancouver* pretends it's not racist because we aren't the typical anti-black/Mexican that is standard in the American media we watch. Get us talking about Indians or East Asians and you'll hear our true colours come out.

What's the point of owning a high powered sports car if you don't drive it recklessly? make the paper or don't bother I say.

Much as I'd love a high powered car, I know I'd kill myself driving it. But yes, I am Mr. Safety in my 4 cylinder Kia for now.

Sounds like Wang really got Chung'd.

Protip: get a ratty looking, but mechanically sound (lol) 928 and have at it. Cops see you as one of them, and no way to make money off of you.

"158? Are you kidding me, there's no way this piece of shiat does 100."

I hope they get to sell those 13 seized exotic cars to provide more safety.

But the witnesses didn't ID any specific cars.

base935: I hope they get to sell those 13 seized exotic cars to provide more safety.

Not just safety, but recurring revenue.

1. Pull over rich asshat in sports car
2. Trump up some charges and confiscate the car. Who will care? He's a rich asshat.
3. Sell car to different rich asshat
4. Pull over rich asshat in sports car

It's brilliant.

also...snce when do police, even supernintendos, get to decide on pulling a license.?

Don't knock Kia's. My friend has a Forte Koup. For a small 4-cylinder car, that thing is pretty damn quick, and it handles pretty well, too. Hell, it outran a v-6 mustang.

Will pull anyone's license he sees fit.

Racist posts in TFA aside I'm surprised to see so many Canadians arguing that these cops should be allowed to do shiat like this, laws and judges be damned.

Luxury cars handle top speeds better than shiatty poor people ones.

I love mine. And I love coasting at 85-90 mph...

Who comments on newspaper stories?

1. Friends and family of those involved: Generally predictable, but occasionally awesome.
2. Obama trolls (and Bush trolls back in the day).
3. Other random trolls.
4. Hateful old farts and the unemployed-cuz-ferriners-stole-ur-jerbs crowd with nothing better to do.

No surprise at all what kind of comments are in pretty much EVERY story.

And all without the benefit of a dude who knows how to drive. Seriously, what happens when all of the electronic BS fails and you are 'coasting' at 85-90? You call Mommy or do you actually know how to drive?

NM, already know the answer.

its like a perfect storm to attract that level of hate; obscenely rich and spoiled asians, managing to both flaunt their wealth and showing a contempt for safety, civilized behavior, society, and laws at the same time. no wonder there is so much in that thread.

So how do you feel about the new slant on exactly this sort of idea they're instituting down in the states?

You know, I'm not really a fan of killing, but I'm honestly confused about how this story still has legs, to the point that it gets Salon propagandizing like the left's Daily Mail. I don't see a "capture or kill" list as being any different from what the police have going into a standoff with an untried but witnessed and known criminal on the run during a manhunt.

I suppose they could hold secret trials (against secret defendants, so no defense), but that would make an even bigger mockery of justice. I assume if only 3 people are on that list, it must not be an indiscriminate list that anyone can throw names at based on hunches. Sometimes a slippery slope is really just a rocky cliff. But at least it is reaffirming that people are still having this debate, beyond the usual Obama trolls, because at least it shows that people aren't completely numbed to the idea of civil liberties being a passe joke.

A more levelheaded treatment. (new window)

You seem to post that in every BC thread, it looks like you've given into the hate.

I live in the city and I see a whole bunch of this crap all of the time. I've honestly lost count the number of times a supercar has just about run right into me in the West Van/Richmond area. These guys deserved to have their cars taken away and licences suspended. I'm pretty sure at least one of their cars has been sold.

Eh, you can't judge an area based upon online comments, it just doesn't work. I'm a Caucasian in British Columbia and as long as they're driving safely then I'm just fine with them driving whatever they want. There's a very good looking Japanese girl who can't be more than 20 driving around in a white DB9, I wouldn't mind getting to know her if you know what I mean.

Also, in Vancouver, everyone has money. Otherwise they couldn't afford to live there.

Caucasians perfected street racing before Asians built cars. What I don't get is that the hate of rich whites is always tempered by deep envy, more of a "they don't deserve it but I do," but the hate on other races flaunting wealth is always a deep, ugly hatred, a "they deserve to die and I'll be happy to do it" kind of thing.

I live in a pretty multicultural area and everybody makes jokes with varying levels of humor and malice in person, but I only ever see that kind of seething hate locally on Craigslist and the news comments.

change1211: You seem to post that in every BC thread, it looks like you've given into the hate.

It's kind of sad that for all the awesome that Vancouver and BC have to offer, that douchebag will be most peoples' image of the place for many years to come. Kind of like how the Kent State shootings were many folks' impression of Ohio for a decade.

I am torn between biatching about the entitled teenagers or the cops who wrote bullshiat tickets. What do you do when both sides are assholes?

This is so very true. Vancouver is an incredibly beautiful city, it doesn't deserve to have it's name dragged through the mud just because a few thousand people (out of over a million) were stupid.

That being said, Unwashed is from Alberta. People from Alberta hate everyone else in Canada, especially BC. That being said people from BC and Saskatchewan think of Alberta as the hick cousin in the middle of the dinner table throwing a tantrum over their intense dislike of green beans. We put up with them because it's not nice to be mean to people who equate the size of their pickup truck to their worth in society, which just may be how it works in 'Berta.

Tsu-na-mi: I am torn between biatching about the entitled teenagers or the cops who wrote bullshiat tickets. What do you do when both sides are assholes?

Can't really call them bullshiat tickets, they were stopped because a bunch of people called 911 to report them driving 200km/hr and above (125 Miles per hour) in a 70-90km/hr zone (43.5-56 Miles per hour)

So? Did the cop see them speeding? Then no ticket. Unless anyone actually believes cops should start doling out punishments because someone says they saw something.
