How Police can steal your car!
Government Terrorism at it's best
Welcome to the Police State
Media warns public - no evidence needed to confiscate (Steal) your car for speeding
This is why they want an unarmed citizenry! The unconstitutional gun registry to protect the criminals with badges. What next primae noctus. I don't give a dam about cops or government and I could give a dam if they know or not, These people are out of their minds when they don't even know what law is about in the first place. Only sheep or slaves need masters and I am neither. Give me liberty or give me death!
Meanwhile you have the police union saying this:
Police union says tough drunk-driving laws targeting the wrong drinkersBy Damian Inwood, The Province October 20, 2010
B.C.'s harsh new drunk-driving laws are stretching police resources, says the Vancouver Police Union president Tom Stamatakis.
Officers now face the potential for more pursuits and are wasting time waiting for tow trucks and taxis after vehicles are impounded, he says.
"Ultimately, from a front-line police officer's perspective, we're ending up not targeting the person that's responsible for the very serious tragedies that we deal with in an ongoing basis," said Stamatakis."Even if you support the change of regulations, I don't think any of us support the fact that we've now become the judge and the jury. Our job is to enforce the law and another part of our criminal justice system should be dealing with the guilt or innocence thing and imposing what the penalties should be."
Stamatakis said the heavier penalties on drivers with a breathalyzer reading of between .05 and .08 means that police are targeting people who have a couple of glasses of wine with dinner - rather than problem drinking drivers. The higher penalties are leading to increased tension between police and drivers and extra officers may be needed for back up at a time when police are already short-staffed, he said.
"There's no question that speeding and drunk driving cause a lot of carnage on our roads," said Stamatakis, who's also president of the B.C. Police Association. "In this country, at least, it's not illegal to consume a glass of wine with dinner and it seems we're creating a situation where we are put in the unenviable position of having to enforce these regulations."
Stamatakis said his members weren't consulted before the government brought in the new laws, and that he plans to talk to Solicitor General Mike de Jong about them.
"There's a significant fine attached for both speeding and lower blood-alcohol limits," Stamatakis said. "Is that revenue going to be poured back into public safety, or going to end up in general revenue?
"My view would be if we're going to create these regulations that have a considerable impact on police capacity, then the revenues should come back to policing."
Simon Fraser University criminologist Neil Boyd said Wednesday he agrees with Stamatakis."When you institute these kind of changes, there may well be consequences that were not what was intended, in terms of the use of scarce police resources," he said.
"This is new territory. Do we have a lot of evidence that people at .05 are the people that are creating more than 1,000 impaired driving deaths that we get in Canada every year?"
Cpl. Jamie Chung, spokesman for RCMP traffic services, said the Mounties haven't experienced any extra problems since the law came in Sept. 20.
"Police work comes with risk," he said. "If we have to impound people's vehicles, there's always a potential for them to get irate."
And police have always had to wait for tow-trucks when impounding vehicles during roadside suspensions, he added.Manon Groulx, Vancouver vice-president for Mothers Against Drunk Drivers, was reluctant to comment on Stamatakis's views."If the new laws stop impaired drivers and reduce the amount of victims, we're
happy," she said.
De Jong didn't return calls from The Province but is due in Richmond Thursday to announce figures on the tickets and fines issued since the laws were stiffened.

Welcome to the Police State
Let's see... Police taking your car without hard solid evidence, oh wait, police say they don't need no stinking devices, they can eye ball your speed without radar...that must make them supermen!
Oh wait, isn't that a form of, Yeah, that's theft!......estimate the speed by sight......or is it light....
This is why they want an unarmed citizenry! The unconstitutional gun registry to protect the criminals with badges. What next primae noctus. I don't give a dam about cops or government and I could give a dam if they know or not, These people are out of their minds when they don't even know what law is about in the first place.
