i think the law says that your car is too low if your wheel (not the ground) is contacting any part of the vehicle with the wheels in the straight position.

My opinion is to take your car and have it re-certified, bring that paper to court. Unfortnately these things are left for interpretation by the officers, I guess that is why we can always have our day in court.

What section of the HTA does that state it in? I can't find it.

imported_Popkorn

Nevermind, found it. Haha this is wicked, you can tell cops that it's illegal for them to pop your hood for inspection.

HTA Section 82(4)

Refuse to pop your hood, if the cop forces you to do so, tell him to read HTA Section 82(4) and that you have the right to not comply!

Examination of vehicle

82. (1) Every police officer and every officer appointed for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Act may require the driver or owner of any motor vehicle or motor assisted bicycle to submit the motor vehicle or motor assisted bicycle, together with its equipment and any trailer attached thereto, to the examinations and tests that the police officer or officer may consider expedient.

Use of unsafe vehicle prohibited

(2) Where any such vehicle, equipment or trailer is found to be in a dangerous or unsafe condition, the police officer or officer making the examination or tests may require the driver or owner of the vehicle to proceed to have the vehicle, equipment or trailer placed in a safe condition and may order the vehicle or trailer to be removed from the highway and may prohibit the operation of the vehicle or trailer on the highway until the vehicle, equipment or trailer has been placed in a safe condition.

Penalty

(3) Every person who refuses or fails to comply with a requirement made under subsection (1) is guilty of an offence and on conviction is liable to a fine of not more than $1,000.

Notice requiring examination and tests

(4) Subsection (3) does not apply unless the police officer or officer has given to the person a written notice in the prescribed form requiring the person to submit the motor vehicle or motor assisted bicycle, together with its equipment and any trailer attached thereto, to examination and tests. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 82 (1-4).

I told the officer "no" (you cant pop my hood) and he LOST IT! He yelled at me "get out of the car now!", and tryed to grab the door handle to open the door (but there are none) freeked out again then reached into the car trying to open the door from the inside. I got out of the car. He continued yelling at me because I wasnt standing in the Ditch. He said he was giving his attitude back at me cause "I wouldnt pop the hood". So he said "ok its towed" Then I poped the hood and the cops looked at it for 5 min asking where the NOS was. They called the tow truck ANYWAY. They couldnt tow it, so he called a flatbed. I begged and begged him not to tow it, and it worked. HE told me if he see's me on the street, hes impounding the car.

(LOL)OFFICER FILL THESE BLANKS " Suck my ____ you peice of ____!!!!
OMG Worst cop experence EVER!(LOL)

Same here, two days ago I got pulled, cops were talking about my triple gauge pod with my air/fuel, boost/ and fuel pressure gauges. They thought I had NOS, they yelled at me to pop my hood so I was like, fine whatever I got nothing to hide. Heck I even gave them a lesson on how to find NOS cause they didn't know what the heck they were looking for.

But yeah, if you get hassled, tell them you want to speak to their supervisor or even better, dial *677 That's the number for the OPP police, and tell them you are being harassed by police officers doing an unauthorized search.

imported_1sicsol

Thanks man, Ill use that number. OPP are more perfesional. Ive NEVER had problems with them.

Thats so true!!! I bitch about the herassment but I really walked away lucky. 2 cops, they never found it.

imported_Popkorn

That's good to hear.

I don't know why cops love harassing us del sol owners. Been pulled over 3 times in the past 3 weeks. One time was my fault though, I'll admit to that one.
