Cut power lines, cut control wires, removed fuel filters, filled fuel filter inlet and output hoses with expanding foam, etc.
If anyone else did this there would have been felony charges.
So now the RCMP is vandalizing privately-owned equipment? I wonder what the law on that is? Not that it matters, since our fascist overlords make the law up as they go along to suit their own purposes.
Is it time to start disabling the RCMP's vehicles, so they can't be used in constitution-violating activity?

Put a .
no, well, you see, they just didn't want to step on it
That was quite a pro job, it's something more like Antifa or Earth First would have done, especially the foam in the fuel lines. I wouldn't have believed it if it wasn't for the recorded phone calls

173(1) Where a person has been charged with an offence under
blah blah
a peace officer, the Registrar or a person authorized by a peace officer or the Registrar shall seize or immobilize the motor vehicle that was being operated by that person at the time that the person was charged.
So what was the offense or is this future crime?
if you want to search the pdf you'll find the codes listed, then you'd have to work out which one is applicable
I was just checking if they had the power to immobilize a vehicle, because that seemed like an obscure power
