The Waterloo Regional Police Service has shared details of an unusual traffic stop in Waterloo.

According to a social media post, officers stopped the vehicle on Northfield Drive East.

They said the driver’s door was inoperable, so the driver had to open the rear door "via the window to enter/exit the car.”

Police also said “a solar panel was mounted by tape to the roof and caulking attached the battery cables to the battery from the solar panel.”

The driver was charged with having a defective braking system and emissions violations.

Police said the car was deemed unfit to drive and also seized its license plates.
