I was in BC with my canoe up top and drove past a checkpoint. I truly believed the inspection stops were intended for power boats that may take in a ballast and not canoes or kayaks, especially not a canoe that had yet to be put into the water. I drove past and quickly had the RCMP in pursuit. The officer was actually really good about it as I thought he was pulling me over for speeding. Had to drive back and go through the inspection. My son was only 5 at the time so he was able to play Police Officer and assist with the inspection and loaded up on stickers. Managed to acquire some free resources for my Outdoor Ed classroom and it turned out that I had been in the same regiment as the RCMP officer's brother. So, all turned out well.
