I can say to you all that I have not paid a speeding ticket for he last 2-3 years if you learn your rights and the law you can win every time.

3 basic common laws

1- do not harm anyone
2- do not damage anyone's property
3- do not commit fraud in your contracts

If you have done none of the above then are you really liable????

As for them impounding your car, well that's a violation of the Canadian charter of rights! Also they can be sued under queen bench for the misconduct they have committed.

For starters have any of you ever actually read the highway traffic act? Most likely not. Where does it say that you even need a license? It only says you need one if you are a driver which is defined in law as a person who is hired to transport cargo or paying customers(fares). But if you are traveling with family or friends under no contract and not being paid then you do not even require a license, it is your inherent right to travel as you please! The government has been deceiving the public and why wouldn't they it works at a success of 98-99% just look at the court records.

Also anyone know anything about bill c-11 and c-30? That is some scary ****! Tell me that's not against the charter of rights

One of the first things it says in the charter of rights

Everyone has the right to freedom, justice and security of the person.....

Right off the hop as soon as they confront you they have breached the peace. If they have not observed you breaching the peace (breaking one of the 3 main laws) ten they have no right to even bother you, for you have not breached the peace!

At the rate things are going we will soon be under martial law and that's f*cked no where in either constitution did we agree to that! Things are getting crazy and more and more we are hearing about areas being under a police state! Wtf for real that is illegal and unconstitutional if we allow this they will have powers(at least think they do) just like nazis had! I know it's a Canadian issue but just look at the news about Quebec and the protests that have been going on since March-April. Or the F-1 event where it was under police state and they were arresting tourists! Wtf!

They also passed a law(statue) that made it illegal for groups 8 or larger(might have been 10) to travel or participate in events without a flight plan submitted to the police station 48 hours ahead of travel. Otherwise they were subject to jail. This again violation of charter of rights. I mean jail with no trial for real? This applied to tourists even! They say this is to help protect us from terrorists and such but I only see them acting as the terrorist!

I agree with Mikez, we have all been screwed by laws in here

for you, it would also be ok to yell fire in the crowded theater - correct?

yes it is wrong to do such a thing, but if you have not injured any party where is the crime? I am only saying that there's ways to fight this.

yelling fire when there is no fire would also be an act of fraud and endangerment to public(so harm to a person). same as threatening some one.

Well, from what I hear the car was impounded for a week and a $400ish ticket was issued? It does suck but it could have been a lot worse. At least you're not being forced to forfeit your car like another similar incident that occured a few months ago in van.
With so many reports the past few months of a group of ppl speeding and then getting caught and their cars impounded (r8, gtr, maserati, m3, porsche, etc), people in GVA should think twice before going for spirited drives like this
