From rkaiza from another site-- This happened to him on the river in Shawinigan
"Sit back and read. Was heading up to richards on the river with my girlfreind. About two thirds of the way there i passed PD. runnin raider, no problem. We were goin 45. About five min later they pulled us over. They asked for my reg. which i gladly provided for both my sleds. They said were is my plate. i said i am from the states and do not have a plate. The said i need a plate and the trail permit is not sufficient. I explained that i have ridden in the quebec province for the past 4 years, having many reg. checks by the PD on the trail with never a problem.I asked what i did wrong or if the laws had changed. There was now a launguage barrier apperently. They took my licence which i willingly provided and said they would be mailing me two tickets for non-registration! I asked for an explanation and provided again my quebec trail permit paperwork for both sleds and my Vermont TMA for what it was worth. they didn`t want to see it and said i needed a plate. HUH
I was not disrespectfull in anyway and was fully coppertive. They apparently were sitting on the river all weekend just handing this fine out like candy. I talked to a couple othere americans up the trail that got the same thing.
What recourse, if any do i have. I àm not looking for the `fukc Them`attitude. would like a sugeston on a real solution out of this.
on a side note,,i was stopped the previous night in montreal area for a headlight check, my bulb has a blue tint which i found is ilegal here, so i put stock back in, no problem. anyway, they checked my reg and had no problems. no ticket and have a nice night.
Whats goin on here
Anyone have answers or thoughts on this??
