I think that is a bit of a **** move by the cops but am I the only one that read the article?

Speed limit is 100 KPH (62 MPH) and drops to 90 KPH (56 MPH). The drivers were clocked at 121-123 KPH (75-76 MPH) at the change which means they were already 21-23 KPH (13-14 MPH) over the limit prior to the speed drop which now brings them to 31-33 KPH (19-20 MPH) OVER the legal limit.

Regardless of the tact or lack of on the part of the officers, the Mini group was breaking the law and apparently some were breaking more than one. (Apparently you can't have radar detectors there?)

Isn't the saying "you gotta pay to play!"?

Correct radar detectors are technically illegal in most of Canada..... However your comment on the speeding aspect of the article ; here in Ontario in a 100KM zone (which is highway/interstate speed to us) the flow of traffic no matter what day or time of day is always at least 120km. The police set to catch them just as they crossed the transition between speed limit change, which was the **** move on their part.

shumby

ya the police will pull you over on the 401 if you are doing 100km/h as they will say you are impeeding the flow of traffic. The get their money either way and you cannot win. OPP GTFO

Never realized Canada was so traffic-nazi

You'd think with the low population density and all that limits would be more Euro..........

Dallas cops are like angels compared to these ***holes.

My friend fell asleep on the wheel drunk at a stop light in down town dallas, and they took him to jail. next day they let him go with only public intoxication and a fee of only 250bucks.

Canadians are harsh!!

Well I'm certainly not saying I don't speed because any vehicle with a throttle, I'll speed in (except when I'm flying, I don't break FARs) but I don't complain that a cop is a **** when he nails me for doing something I'm not supposed to be doing.

Now, if those cops where going to write a ticket for impeding the flow of traffic by only going 100KPH then thats seriously fucked up. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
