Toronto cops step up traffic enforcement for release of ‘Fast & Furious 6′

Beware, Vin Diesel impersonators of Toronto, the local police have their eye on you and your car-racing friends, too.

The Toronto Police Service issued a statement on Friday saying they were implementing a "Fast & Furious 6 enhanced enforcement campaign" this weekend for which they are increasing enforcement of traffic laws.

The film, which opens this weekend, features stunts such as someone leaping from a tank onto the hood of a car while both travel at breakneck speeds. There's also the requisite number of car flips, chase scenes and plenty of generally reckless driving.

Police will be watching for impaired driving, occupant restraint, aggressive driving and distracted driving, according to the release. That is, they don't want you trying to impress any girls with the drive and stare.

Yes, even if the girls look like Eva Mendes.

While the release doesn't include those salient details, police did specify why Fast & Furious 6, despite being a fictional Hollywood film, had prompted real-life safety concerns:

This weekend, "Fast & Furious 6" arrives in theatres. This movie continues to maintain a following of individuals who believe that the operation of vehicles similar to the way the vehicles are operated in the movie is acceptable and without consequences.

Got that, moviegoers? Eyes on the road.
