Sgt. David Mitchell, an internationally recognized leader in drag racing policing.

Woah...these guys are really serious.

The facts happened before the new laws, so they can't be judged by the new laws.

There is no judgment regarding the seizure of cars. The cars were seized after the Act came into effect last December, in any case.

Are they going to crush some hockey players $400,000 car when he gets caught "street racing".

They'll probably auction it off. In any case, he's not going to get it back.

I think it's wrong to just take away people's cars and destroy them.

Lots of illegal things can get confiscated and destroyed. Too bad. That's life. Don't they have police auctions over there, where the cops flog all the stuff they've confiscated? These ricers aren't fit to be sold, so they're destroyed.

wtf is wrong with you guys? Do you always have to bring up politics?

Cant you just laugh at the ricers for once?

Mattk · 06-19-2006, 11:06 PM

OK. Fine.

HAHAHA, sucked in losers. Which was pretty much my first reaction.

I'm maybe a little far out there. But did none of you guys ever race for fun? Just sometimes. And imagine they get your cars...

I think it is just a nonsense show for treehuggers.

I assume insurance doesn't cover this.... :roll:

How so? I'm sure they could sell them just as easily as the other junk at the auctions.

I'm really hating being in Canada right now, this whole focus lately on street racing is a bit pathetic. There are so many more important things we should be focusing on rather than a couple people racing their cars once in a while. I mean c'mon, street racing has been around for 50+ years now, where was all of the outrage and such then?

Get the fucking crackheads and hookers off my streets, throw some more money and manpower into finding missing children, and so on, then you can worry about Johnny Tran double clutching his S2000 down a wet nighttime street.

ya'll fucking party p00opers.

I hope this applies only to street racing, and not anyone caught doing 180kmh (i.e. on their own on a country road).

With a specific law on 'street racing' and a more severe penalty than lesser traffic offences, you can bet you'd probably be dinged for street racing even if you're just speeding. What's to stop the cop from saying they saw lights in the distance ahead of you, and thus you were street racing them? Nothing.

If something wrong has been going for 50+ years, we shouldn't stop them. Hmm...Bank robbing has been going around for 100+ years, maybe we should legalize it. Are you one of the ppl they are focusing on that's why you want the focus on something else? Street racing kills many ppl on the road each year, but of course, fucking a hooker should deserve more attention cause they are spreading aids and aids kills ppl. It's a political act, I know, but better than doing nothing about nothing.

nickthaskater · 06-20-2006, 09:46 PM

Bank robbing may have been going on for a long time as well, but there's always been active efforts to prevent things like that from happening. Street racing on the other hand, didn't really get any attention until shit like Fast and The Furious came around. You know what their main statistic is for all these propositions and actions? 34 street racing related deaths in the greater Toronto area in seven years. Fuck, I will bet my left nut that more people have died as a result of alcohol and smoking, yet both of those things are perfectly legal.

And no, I'm not a street racer, I'm not into that (I prefer cruising on my own), but to see this much manpower and emphasis put on something so insignificant compared to other things that are going on just pisses me off.

Alcoholics kill themselves only, second-hand smoke kills, that is why indoor smoking has been banned on all public areas. Yes, you can choose to kill your old child in your own home, but not some stranger coming into ur house and kill them by giving them second hand smoke. Street racing kills innocents like gang shootings.

SFDMALEX · 06-20-2006, 10:50 PM

THe problem with street racing is the defenition. I mean they can call speeding on the highway street racing. Or blip of the throttle on a red light street racing...

What they need to do is stop giving 16 year old kids license.

And instead of sending cops to hustle young people at the beach for drinking they should send more cops in the streets.

Cops in Toronto spend too much time on bullshit. I experianced it first hand. Quite a few accidents where I got hustled by the cops for some retarted reason. Like my budy being drunk and walking with our help. Like me and some buddies having some beers at the beach, or just chillin at a park.

One instance they had 3 crusers come, it was 6 of us, at a park after a game of football just conversing. My fucking tax money at work eh? 3 cruisers, 6 cops for half an hour worth of their time, and half an hour of declined calls on their radio.....for what?

The cops decided to search us....

Send cops in the streets to prevent shit like street racing, and tell them to stop fucking huslting down teenagers at parks and beaches.
