Canadian police pull over entire Mini convoy

Instead of providing an escort for the convoy or thanking the organizers for a heads up, the OPP set up a speed trap along the route where the limit changes from 100 km/h to 90 km/h. When the parade of Minis came past, officers pulled over the whole lot, and cited three cars for going 121-123 kmh in a 90 kmh zone, or about 76 in a 55. One driver was also cited for having a radar detector and had his equipment confiscated.

So yeah, the police were justified to cite some drivers. But to actually set up a speed trap on a charity drive? D-Bag move on the Police department. Then to call the local news to cover their brave crackdown on vicious mini-driving criminals. WTF. Were the police jealous they weren't the recipients of the charity? Maybe they should just call themselves municipal revenue agents.
