Hey everyone check out this recent article from here in Ontario, can you believe the power trip some officers take on people trying to enjoy their cars! In this case even worse because it's linked to charity!

I read this on Autoblog. Very sad. I think cops here are a lot forgiving in the United States.

What will happen is cops will tailgate you without lights on at night and wait for an excuse to switch on Christmas lights.

Fxxking tailgaters!

Fail.

100% pure awesome. I thought cops could be pricks already, but I never EVER envisioned them using information given by a group doing a charity event to set up a trap and ticket them.

Take a step back and just put all the pieces together. The police were given the route for a charity event and agreed, together, to effectively **** these people up. Can you imagine what they were saying to each other while they planned this out? "It's time to nail these damn philanthropists! This'll teach them to help other people on our streets."

Abuse of power at its finest. No good deed goes unpunished.

Another story to reaffirm to me that police are simply a source of revenue.

Dirty! Though it does appear that a number of them were speeding... but still, they were set up so they were going to get stopped whether or not they were speeding.
