This outrageous story was posted on reddit in CanadiEnts by user life-is-polymorphic. I won’t link it here but you can easily find the original. I re-arranged it for clarity. The tow truck drivers that work the 400 Series highways in Toronto are known as vultures. They have earned that name because they are just plain rotten. They even have battles between rival companies etc.
“I'm a 20m in Ontario, Canada with a G2 and I got charged with 'Cannabis Readily Available.'
I got charged because a tow truck driver smelled cannabis on me when I was pulled over on the side of the road, minding my own business, putting in directions to Tim Hortons. He came up to me to ask if I was in any trouble, I said no, and then he called the cops.
This 5 second interaction leads to him calling the OPP on me. When I started driving again I see this guy trailing me, making every turn I make. Soon after I’m detained, arrested, and charged. I underwent a field sobriety test, and I got a 3 day license suspension and charged with 'drive vehicle or boat with cannabis readily available' which is $215 fine. The entire time this was happening, which took over an hour, that snitch was parked in front of the cop car I was in handcuffed in. He was waiting to tow me because once I was released I could not drive my vehicle due to the suspension. The tow truck driver’s hope was that I had no choice but to pay him to tow my vehicle.
Luckily I had a couple of friends who came over to drive me back home in my car. I didn’t have to give that snitch any of my money because he ratted me out. "
