Got my first ever 'muffler' ticket haha

[3rdRGR]

What a joke ! Winnipeg has, or had, the worst crime rate in Canada. Instead of solving crimes and unsolved murders they're giving out muffler too loud tickets. Sounds like they're trying to get you to fund the next policemans ball.

When they aren't arresting Pastors for holding church services... they are after our Stangs.

Winnipegger checking in - got me damn cautious driving my car around now. Hate to see it happen but hopefully they'll meet their quotas and this will pass...

EPIC!!! totally stealing this.

I can’t claim it...got it from a firearms forum I belong to. “Canukistan” referring to our near-communist levels of gun control

This project will be a cash cow for the WPS. It ain’t going away any time soon.

I miss Slurpees! Going to visit my bro this summer hopefully, and I already told my kids we are drinking a minimum of 1 Slurpee per day!

Maybe educate yourself how it’s done and report back
For example
Most police officers are trained in how to visually estimate the speed of cars. ... The estimation skill is honed by comparing the estimates with the radar reading. Variables such as the size, color, and distance from a vehicle affect the perceived speed of the vehicle when visually estimating speed.

Just because someone is trained to do something, doesn't mean they can reliably do it. All eyewitness testimony is hilariously unreliable, whether it's from a layperson or a law enforcement officer. That won't stop the judge from taking the cop's word over yours though.

Being born and raised in Windsor, I love living in the US. Even as a non citizen, as long as you're legally allowed to be here, you can buy all the guns you want!

Canada hates fun things, or at least the things I find the most fun, cars and guns. Lol

I was born and raised in Ottawa. Now living down in Texas. Even as a resident alien, I enjoy the benefits of "constitutional carry". I do miss the chip wagons though, but I guess we do have taco trucks....

Ive given tickets from visually acknowledging speeding and given speeds upon estimates. They also went to court, and they have also kept the ticket. I dont need to have any type of radar/lidar to know someone is doubling a speed in a 25-30mph speed area, nor does a regular person who isn't trained.

It isn't rocket science, some judges will say improper, but you dont always have radar/lidar/equipment up and you may just be driving around and visually seeing a guy busting ass down streets.

Yeah, you will get visual estimation ticket and its not "always" thrown out.

The only way that holds up in court is if the guy admits it and or you have corroborating witnesses. Then what is the actual violation?
Hire a lawyer.

I read the law in the OPs case and the officer asked him to do an illegal act.
Should get tossed before it ever hits a court room.

After it gets tossed file a complaint against him with his department.

Havnt had an issue, its been years but we had an issue with school zones and people blowing through ive caught them without set up and many got tickets that stuck. they could of said yes I was going faster than I should or whatever, I really dont remember much.

but visual estimates can hold up in court is all I was adding, and yes OP's case, entirely different. entirely

So you are a Cop who attends illegal street races?

I quit serving about 3-4 years ago doggo. I can do whateverrr I want, honestly I loved it. but I moved onto higher paying jobs with less bs to deal with.

but! I dont race, nor do I participate in the hooligan acts. spectating imo is perfectly acceptable.

K.. You were a cop. So you think a cop asking me to illegally rev my engine will stick in court ? In case you missed it:

Unnecessary noise
169(3) No person shall start, drive, turn or stop a motor vehicle, or accelerate the motor of a motor vehicle while it is stationary, in such a manner as to cause any loud and unnecessary noise in, or from, the engine, exhaust system or braking system, or from contact of tires with the roadway.
