Seized hummer limo used in anti-gang campaign in Canada

police-hummer-canada

A hummer limousine seized from a drugs trafficking ring in Victoria, Canada, last year is now being used as part of an anti-gang campaign in the region.

In line with its new role as a vehicle to raise awareness of organised crime, the hummer H2 has been re-painted with anti-gang slogans such as “This vehicle was seized from a drugs trafficker” and “Gang life is a dead life” so as to get the message across to youngsters and potential criminals that a life of organised crime doesn’t pay.

The hummer limo was confiscated from a trio of drugs traffickers last year in the Victoria area of Canada along with a BMW vehicle, guns, and thousands of pounds in cash.

Usually all assets seized from criminals are sold and the money used to support crime prevention, however the authorities took a different stance with this case, and decided the hummer could be put to better use on the streets raising awareness of the problem of organised crime in the region.

For the next two years, the impressive hummer limousine will be used as part of “Operation Reclaim” which is an anti-gang educational program. The hummer will act as a moving billboard, spreading its message at schools, colleges and events across the Greater Victoria region of Canada.

D-Day For Limo Hire Industry Sparks London Demo Convoy

More than forty stretched limousines have travelled to Parliament Square, London today in protest of new powers which many say will kill the limousine industry.

From yesterday, (1st October 2009) the Vehicle Operators and Services Agency (VOSA) has the power to impound vehicles which are designed to carry more than eight passengers if they do not comply with strict legislation.

A letter was also sent to thousands of UK operators three weeks ago demanding that their vehicles must hold a Certificate Of Initial Fitness (COIF) and the owner must have an operators licence to be legal.

Following this, hundreds of limousine operators from throughout the UK attended Drive ’09, the trade show for the chauffeur and limousine trades last weekend, to find out from VOSA officials what will happen to them if legislation is enforced from today.
