In a further effort to further crackdown on perfectly legal 2 way
radio operators, Vancouver, Montreal, and other Canadian cities have
passed laws outlawing leaving valuable itemms like your ham radio or
cb radio in plain sight in your vehicle. If you are in a restaurant or
store and a cop or mountie looks inside your vehicles windows and sees
your valuable ham radio or valuable cb radio in the usual place, under
the dash, or amywhere at all where it is visi,ble instead of hidden
where no one can see it, you will get ticketed and fined and prison
time. Since you broke the law by leaving a valuable item or items in
plain sight inside your
vehicle.
The Crazy Canuck Canadians were not satisfied with only outlawing the
use of hand-held microphones Now they also outlawed simplay having the
radios visible in the ONLY NORMAL spot for a 2 way radio and outlawed
having them visiIbe anywhere in the
vehicle.
and then as usual, Kooky California will follow , and then other
American cities and states will follow, also outlawing having any 2
way radios visible in your
vehicle .
The reason the authorities gave for why they passed this law allowing
them to fine ordinary citizens for doing so is to prevent theft of
valuable items in vehicles by theieves and
criminals.
however, we all know the real reason for this ridiculous law is so
they can ticket and fine more people to get more money for
theirselves. So the Canadian cops and Canadan Royal Mounties and
Canadian governments are the real
thieves.

This is the greatest law passed in the history of any legal system,
anywhere. I for one applaud Canada's approach to the issue of theft of
personal property from vehicles, and fully support and endorse any
efforts to bring such laws into effect on a global scale.

You, sir, clearly do not wish to reap the benefits of such
forward-thinking legislation. Philistine.
