Sorry Adam but this is urban myth ... between the law (and importantly the regulations) associated with the Highway Traffic Act, the Dangerous Goods Transportation Act, the Motorized Snow Vehicles Act, the Off-Road Vehicles Act and the Public Vehicles Act ... there's virtually no restriction as to where and when your vehicle can be inspected.

You can sit there all day long, drive around until you run out of gas and then call a tow truck to get you home. Of course, once you're on the truck and going down the road, technically you can be inspected then.
For the guys at Timmies that got busted, it sounds more than a little fishy. Then again, I'm guessing (as mentioned) that they weren't stock ricers with flashy wheels. I'm also guessing they drew more than their fair share of attention.
