Default Increased police presence

Anyone noticed an increase of traffic enforcement officers (notably on police bikes)??

Yesterday, there was one near Hastings pull car after car with tinted front windows.

Not really, my daily route is Coq-->Surrey and back. See at least 3 police cars on the street everyday, majority of them in Surrey.

I KNOW!!!

I've gotten 3 tickets in the past 2 months. Previously i had not gotten a ticket for 3 years. This is bull****. I got pulled over speeding up SFU's hill, so be careful.

Specially with ICBC's new rules...drive slow people

ghost car got you or some cop hid behind the bushes and radar you?

I don't go up to SFU burnaby often but whenever I do, its really hard to not drive over the 60km/h limit especially how the road is always empty and so wide.. not to mention people go like 90km/h up the hill.

police is stupid...they have more people busting tinted windows and loud exhaust when they should concentrate on preventing the murders and shootings

+1 - sometimes I think you could have a dead body in the trunk , if you had tinted windows and a loud exhaust you'd get pulled over , get a ticket and leave with your dead body???

I go up SFU twice a week now for work but I use the Bby Mtn Pkwy road so I have to slow down or stop to make the left turn but yeah going up Gaglardi, it's hard not to stick to 60km/h.

I've seen a late 80s/early 90s Chevy C/K pickup pull someone over on Granville St. They're using all sorts of ghost cars nowadays eh?

Kaydee, I haven't seen them pull anyone over for tinted windows before. The number of people with tinted front windows is rising quite a bit to the point where I see those cars on a regular basis now.
