Default No new powers...

Al may have a better feel for this, but since "our" armoured vehicles are produced as armoured vehicles by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and are not modified by the "aftermarket" or anyone else I wonder if this law applies? Our vehicles are antiques, are they not?

Vehicles are made to the standards and regulations in force at that time, I am sure and early Ford Model T does not meet any of the standards outlined in todays CMVSS specifications, however it is still allowed to be licenced for road use because it was acceptable when first approved.

A new vehicle (approved to today's standards) once modified by a non-OEM approved company may no longer meet the standards it was originally required to meet and therefore should not be licenced for road use.

This law gives the police no more power than they have already, if they think your vehicle is unsafe or it is being used for criminal activity they can sieze it. If they question its suitablility for road use, they can impound it and require the vehicle be tested to a standard provincial inspection. Provincial inspections are normally only checks, vehicles are not driven.

So this is a meaningless law that makes people feel good without actually addressing the real problem? One that restricts things for regular people because criminals use similar things for committing crimes? Where oh where have I seen this silliness before?

Default Armoured vehicles

Hmm. I wonder how the Police will identify these armoured vehicles? Can you tell which is the armoured vehicle? Actually they both are. Thanks to Hanno Spoelstra for the use of the picture of the c-15 TA.
