Last week the Ministry of enviromewnt and the dept of transportation and the Ontario provincal police were using the highway yard as an inspection station outside of town (Carleton place Ontario)was driving my 1985 chev 1 ton and was flagged into the yard. Pull over behind the brown car. As I waited for the insoector, the guy in the brown car left a nice late seventioes monto carlo,mumbled some nasty words as he drove off.The inspector asay they are doing inspections on vehicles.Asked what kijd of inspection.he says checking for emission s.Told him him I was exempt because of the year and he said they were looking for the emissions stuff that came with the vehicle.Opened the hood and he found all the hoses and the canisters there and sia d the truck was in nice shape.He said he needed to check for a cat,none there.Went to his trucka nd looked in a couple of books and came back and said that model with engine didn't need one.said he neede to check under the hood again.Looked and looked and said he was going to give me a warning this time.A warning for what??said I neede either a air pump or cat.You just finished telling me that the truck did not need one,does it need a air pump,he said its needs one or the other.I said How can it a cat if didn't come with one aor wiith an air pump.Can you give a writtien warnibg as to what i need in case I get stopped agian if I put acat on and the next guy says I need a air pump. Handed me my paper work and said to have a nice day Took my paper worj and drove by DOT inspector and left.No saftey that day. I just repbuilt the trucka nd it was passed about 2 months earlier,but I'm sure he could have found something he wanted to.They will tell you in theirer opinion you have broken the law and it is up to you prove them wrong.
