In a high vis group that large, going 30K over, just asking for trouble. But I'd like to hear from somebody that actually drives a significant number of miles in Canada for a change.

I can't say I totally agree, llamaboiz, but you make some good points.

Cruise/parade combined with speeding is just a waving a flag asking for trouble, it's high profile.

Just goes to prove that cops are douche-bags, no matter what country they're from.

They all got their butts kicked in high school, so they wanted a job with some "authority", some power.

Of course, none of them qualify for a job where the authority is EARNED...so they got jobs where the authority is simply APPOINTED.

But, possibly my opinion of them differs from others.


And yes, the Mini's shouldn't have been speeding...but LOTS of people speed. And setting up a speed trap...and calling in the media to film it...complete and utter DB move there.
