Ministry Of The Environment -- Pulling Cars - NikiterZTS - 05-08-2009 People with modified cars are starting to get pulled over for checks. http://forums.clubrsx.com/showthread.php?t=648095 Ministry Of The Environment -- Pulling Cars - Frost__2001 - 05-08-2009 funny thing is if you keep your drive clean tests in your car all the time like I do, all you have to do is present that, and really they can't do squat as your in the legal Ontario limits under the drive clean act. if Anything I'd be more concerned about getting pulled over by the MTO. as if you have anything not up to DOT standards they could pull your plates. Ministry Of The Environment -- Pulling Cars - NOS2Go4Me - 05-08-2009 Pulling over for someone that isn't a cop? FAIL. Unless they have an OPP officer / local cop assigned to pull you over, you don't have to stop. Of course, this is one of those smashingly good times to start up some civil action regarding profiling, as mentioned in the quoted OP.

I'm not quite sure but I don't think MTO can pull people over unless they call actual police to have their presents there. Ministry Of The Environment -- Pulling Cars - Focus man. Focus. - 05-09-2009 I have seen the MTO pulling big rigs over for years. Isn't this the same thing? Regarding saftey standards?

This is regarding emissions, which isn't necessarily the same as safety standsards - doubly so if it's the ministry of the environment doing the checks and not the MTO. Plus, the HTA is worded differently regardng large trucks / commercial vehicles. Time for another call to dear old Dad as that's definitely his neck of the woods - large, commercial vehicles. :) EDIT - speaking of big rigs, here's a shot I took Monday of the old guy's new truck when the 'rents stopped in on their way back to Toronto: Ministry Of The Environment -- Pulling Cars - 2001 ZTS - 05-09-2009 The MTO and MOE inspectors are "Peace Officers", they are perfectly within their right.

Link to their authority to stop traffic and inspect your vehicle? MTO I believe. MOE? Not so much. Ministry Of The Environment -- Pulling Cars - 2001 ZTS - 05-09-2009 Sigh, you forget who you are talking to. :rolleyes: MOE Enforcement Branch ARE Peace Officers able to enforce the relevant acts of their mandate. Everything from factory emmisions to pesticides on your lawn to rice boy's fart pipe on his Honda. MTO Transportation Enforcement Officers the same. May as well ramble off a few more types of Peace Officers in Ontario while here: Corrections (jail guards) Conservation (park Rangers) Finance Inspectors Agricultural Investigators Youth Services Probation & Parole Officers Legislative Security the various University Police depts TTC Special Constables Railway Police etc. They are all Peace Officers and thus have "power of arrest" Ministry Of The Environment -- Pulling Cars - NOS2Go4Me - 05-09-2009 OK, seriously. I'm calling you on this. Power of arrest? I'd better be going away in handcuffs at that point. Otherwise, as the OP said... it's profiling. Where have they been for the past 10-15 years that street racing has taken off? Testpipes aren't exactly a new thing, you know. It's all f***ing opportunism. That's all it is. Now I AM going to customize my exhaust, just so I can get pulled over. We don't have e-test here. So now what do they do? Bulls*** charges? Right. 1 lawyer coming up, all because you wanted to use your obscure peace officer powers, single out a modded vehicle as "bad" and play god. If they were doing their jobs, they'd be aiming for a much larger slice of the pie where vehicles have fallen out of warranty and are not yet at the 20-yaer classic threshold. Their own laws work against them. You know what actually? f*** it. Let's all wait this s*** out and see what happens. Trying to navigate the snakes' nest of bureaucracy is an impossible teask, especially as far as "pull your vehicle oer to the side of the road" goes. Run your game, gentlemen and we'll see what's what. Ministry Of The Environment -- Pulling Cars - 2001 ZTS - 05-09-2009 Such a nerd :rolleyes: From the (Ontario) ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ACT: Quote:Power to inspect vehicle or vessel Nice talking to you NOS, I am now going back to "ignoring" you again just like I did a few years ago. You can redeem yourself and I'll possibly unignore you if you bring me a 40 of rum when you come camping. :P Ministry Of The Environment -- Pulling Cars - 2001 ZTS - 05-09-2009 Same act: Quote:166. (1) Whenever a provincial officer is required or empowered by this Act or the regulations to do or direct the doing of anything, such provincial officer may take such steps and employ such assistance as is necessary to accomplish what is required, and may, when obstructed in so doing, call for the assistance of any member of the Ontario Provincial Police Force or the police force in the area where the assistance is required and it is the duty of every member of a police force to render such assistance.
