that's awesome classic hyw 2
Riding in valemount this weekend had a great time
Decided to head to kelowna with truck and trailer to
meet my wife so we could ski for a couple days
any way get to little fort for a coffee cop comes over
asked the usual I gave him what he wanted tells me truck
is not legal, I'm driving a lifted f 650 rips the ch!t out of me
makes me rip the tint off right there , I asked him if he was
serious since I've driven the truck for 7 years 70 thousand km
on truck I also told him I've been stopped by cops , highway patrols
in Canada and Us but they only wanted to take pictures because
they loved the truck. He said he couldn't care less remove tint or else.
He impounded the trailer breakaway didn't work, he had tow truck haul
it away basically get the hell out of dodge with Alberta plates I could
go on but once a mean cop always a mean cop
If I am making an out of province trip into an area renouned for its law enforcement, darn rights I am making sure my equipment is up to standard. Lack of preperation and maintenance is not an excuse, its a cause.I see where the OP is coming from. Most of the time with a tint ticket if you show them that you took the tint off before a certain date then the ticket is voided. Making him rip it off right there is over kill. And same with the brake he could of made him show proof of getting it fixed not impound his stuff right there. And as for the guys that gave him flack for not checking his brake away, how many of you do that every time you hook up? And if you figured out it didn't work right before you where leaving on a sled trip, I would bet my last dollar that not one guy would cancel there sled trip cause it doesn't work!
Nothing wrong with tinted windows. Why don't they go stop somebody that blows their STOPs, to me that seems a little more dangerous than tinted windows. They have training and guns if there's a problem.

So your telling me it's 9:00 at night you and your buddies are all loaded up sleds in the 4 place everybody excited ready go you go and check your brake away and don't work. You would say"sorry boys trip is cancelled my brake away don't work". I call bullsh!t cause if you said that your buddies would steal your truck and leave you standing there!
Don't forget the little man syndromeLifted F650=Lifted EGO
Don't forget the little man syndrome
probably exists as well
I bought my wife a set of fake big boobs so that the cops would take pictures of her and not give me a ticket...
Im not stupid enough to wait till the last second to check my equipment before a trip. If you are, you deserve to get parked.So your telling me it's 9:00 at night you and your buddies are all loaded up sleds in the 4 place everybody excited ready go you go and check your brake away and don't work.

so does a 54' semi trailer but it's legal……..just sayinTinted windows are not allowed in many European countries for a good reason, you can't see what is going on through another car, its blocks view.
