[snoqueen]

This might be of interest for any sledders out there that like to take their families out riding. BEWARE of guys like this....totally overstepping his boundaries and going on some sort power trip. BTW.....there is NO LAW IN B.C. regulating the ages that kids can ride snowmobiles!!

storys like this is what gives any of the good officers a bad name,
not the first wont be the last either

 

[snopro]

Conservation Officers, Border Patrol, Bylaw officers, mall cops. They are all the same. Couldn't make it with the RCMP or a city detachment and over compensate for there obvious shortcomings.

Hey just for chits and giggles. Are there any laws in alberta regulating what size machine you are allowed to ride? http://www.transportation.alberta.ca/Content/docType41/Production/small_vehicle_booklet_final.pdf All im getting out of this is that you have to be minimum 14 to ride alone and that ditch riding is "not permited" but you can cross highways all you want haha! And no helmet is required !!! (aka stupid rule).

sucks that it happened, I've never had a bad experience with CO's in Alberta. well, when I wasn't doing something wrong anyways. but they were still polite when writing the tickets...lol

 

[Pistonbroke]

I looked it up last year for BC. There is no minimum age to pilot a snowmobile. Children 15 and under require direct adult supervision if I recall correctly.

ooooo Tables can be turned... I think "someone" needs to write an article on "Officer" mike...........

Children 15 and under require direct adult supervision if I recall correctly.

I don't think it even goes that far.

Snowmobile Regulation

my boys started at 3 on Kittys cats, then to Elans and then Polaris 340 TX. then Yamaha SRXs by the time they were 10. they are better sledders today than most adults who start riding as a adult. I cringe watching local New RCMP members riding there new Polaris sleds, no training what so ever till they got here.my Grand daughter started with kitty cat, then Mini Z 120, now 550 Polaris.and shes 6? so far on seat ahead of my son,but she will be keeping up to Opa real soon.lol.

Atta boy Dave.......keep Mikey on his toes!

 

[sledneck_03]

Should have told him, no hunting or fishing here, take a f*cking hike you wanker.

After a kitty kat then what? Manufactures quit making the tundras and bravos. I wish it was against the law to stick your nose in other peoples business for any reason.

Reviving the past man!!!

 

[snoqueen]

I had to look twice when I saw this....I posted it sooooo long ago I didn't even remember posting it! Now that I re-read the article again I remember this happening here in PG now. I think the CO's and MOE's have been too busy patrolling the Cariboo closures this season to even worry about this petty stuff.

 

[Riverjet]

I know the people involved in this and lets just say "Mike" was one lucky fellow. If I remember correctly "Mike" spent some time behind a desk and registered for some further training.
