Yeah seriously...like today i was on my way home from work and i saw this cop that was "stunting" as the lane calls it now...He was making unsafe lane changes. I'm not just talking about one or two. He'd floor it pass somebody then change without a signal then he'd change back no signal and floor it again to pass somebody, and he just kept lane changing without signaling on Lakeshore. His lights weren't on either. Power tripping cops, i bet you if i did that on my bike he'd have nailed me for sure with "stunting"
Need to start video taping this crap and start sending it to the media. If they are overwhelmed by video of cops and car drivers doing stupid things they would have almost no choice but to do a story on it.
My Treo does video even if it is not the best quality its quite usable, think I'll start get'n short vids of the idiots out there.
If you try to make it idiot-proof, someone will just make a better idiot....
You know i jus cant belive they let this clown back in uniform thought we got rid of him in Toronto dam ! should of jus left his--- there cause less probs for everyone. jus really hope something can be done this is a huge blow to are sport and somthing has to be done about it i got my fingers crossed jus my 2 cents.
from next year im getting a camera for my car and my bike , im taping everything ,who ever cuts me off, if i see someone speeding ill follow and ill make sure my speedo is in my objective, ill make sure i have over 5000 ppl on my camera doing this kind of **** , and i hope most of the ppl are cops , then ill go to each tv station and handout my copies... next year will be fun.. anyone down with me... time for them to understand who we are and what the bikes are all about... in a good way of course ...
i got nailed big times , impounded motorcycle, suspended licence, police kept my licence and bike key... and u kno what mother****er told us.. if u were driving cars i wouldnt even bother pulling u over guys, SORRY but its not up to me thats what fantino or fountain (w.e the **** is his last name)wants us to do... i told him so what do u think we ( bikers ) are: maniacs, killers on the road, losers, insaine ppl, what , what ever happened yesterday was pure discriminaion, he even called in 2 other cruisers to make it look like "there was a chase" . As i said to srgnt. S. U can punish me, suspend my licence, impound my motorcycle, u can do w.e the **** u want u cant take away passion for motorcycles i have and ill be back on the road , ill still ride , ill still come here, ill laugh at u and call u fat *** po-po and u would not be able to do anything... he didnt say anything ( ***** had nothing to say ) ill see him at the court in a month, im fighting this **** and mite sue them for few things... if i lose then ill suffer for few years but ill be still here if not on the street ill be on the track , worth of trying... we'll see how everything goes
wish me a good luck cuz im gonna need it...
ciao guys, u ride there safe and be carefull...

You need more than luck; you need a darn good lawyer.
I hear you on the videotaping, I'll be doing that, too. Remember that a critical aspect of videotaping while riding is NOT doing anything that will incriminate yourself: No wheelies, no excessive speeds ...
mannnnnnn wtf u see what i mean guys there will be more and more of this sort bull---- on the steet if there is nothing done about this law next summer will be a nightmare for all that ride a sport model bike and please don t think this sort of thing can t happen to you!! because it CAN and probly will when your least expecting it, theOriginally Posted by 1LTRK6
are really off and running with this law ,i never seen so many
Fantino should talk to his officers, to get a grip on reality. I've been told by an OPP officer while I was getting a ticket for doing 35 over in a 80km zone that they don't usually pull anyone over for a ticket unless they are going over 30kph over the limit.
The defacto speed limit around here is 100kph. So you won't get a ticket until you go over 10kph over that limit. Unfortunately, the ticket will be for doing at least 30 over.
Court knocked it back down to 20 over anyway, what a waste of time.
I like the idea of video tapping the cops but i think all they need to say is they are responding to a call and it goes away.....
A protest that would get a WHOLE lot more attention immediately would be to have a parade along all the 400 series taking up all available lanes with the leaders driving with the cruise control set at 100kph -- instant gridlock and the public goes nutz! Since Fantino & Woolley don't want us to speed then let them deal with the consequences.

I'm not interested in videotaping the cops. I'm interested in videotaping MYSELF so that I have a shot of having a defense in the event of being wrongly or unfairly accused.
Fantino is too far detached from "everyman" to ever have a hope of having a grip on reality.
I guess you'll be using the camera on your super fast CBR125?
i hate rain in on everyone but......
before you go out video taping police... you might what to know that it could be considered illegal.
i wish i could find the news report.... but i was watching something bout a month ago on this exact idea.
people would follow police officers and tape them doing bad things.
they coined a phrase for it... civil police.. or something like that.
but just be careful... make sure you know the law b4 u do it. and use it.
if i find the newsreport.. i will post it.
His name is Jimmy Justice and he video tapes NYPD.

Certain recent situations suggest that we have a lot more to be concerned about than the 50-over criteria.
Hey folks, thanks for all the support on this thread.
Maybe if I really want to start stirring the pot I should start a discussion about all the Impaired and Over 80 charges the crown withdraws because it's just too much work to prosecute these charges. Sadly in my line of work I see it far too often.
You cant bring that up, see thats too hard to enforce and not alot of money to be made. After all how hard is it to cease a car and give someone a 10,000 $ fine? its all about the money in the end...
So its illegal to videotape when a cop is doing something wrong? What country you live in? Wake up...it hasnt gotten to that point YET

Following someone with the expressed purpose of video taping his activities could be termed "stalking." If you're simply running a camera in a public place, then that's a different story.

Since when has it become illegal to video tape cops? If its on public property such as the highways whats the problem , inside the police station would be a different story i think.
And a fork can be considered a weapon...its all how you word it, or actually answer when asked what you are doing...
I'm not going to bother searching out the relevant clauses to it, and i'm not going to profess to being a lawyer, so take my word for what it is worth .. next to nothing.
If a conversation is being recorded, a situation is being video-taped as part of surveillance, as long as *one* party is aware of the recording going on (ie. the person doing the recording will suffice), then it is legal.
Note that this does not permit you to go up-skirt camming, or producing kiddy porn in the school locker room. These are covered by other statutes.
As unlikely as i am to get pulled over for 'stunting' or 50 over for the sidecar rig, or my Vulcan when it is on the road - i will be investing in a bullet cam to go with my cam-corder, and a GPS unit for use in my Van and Motorcycles... i call it a wise pro-active investment in today's legal climate.
*edit* - it looks like Rob found the relevant info, as usual.
