Default Crush the "public nuisance" car law

Personally I think it is total B.S. Basically does this give the police the right to crush your car for any violation? Speeding, red light etc... Just think where this could lead...
While driving your parents car to Vegas, you open the motor up a little to get there faster (like we all do)--(reason I fly). Upon returning, your parents car is seized at your house and crushed...
And I thought cutting off a persons hand for stealing was cruel.. (Basically the same thing in a first world country)

Crush my car and i'll will not be a happy camper!
(details and examples of unhappy camper acts not made public, due to current UNCONSTITUTIONAL Patriot Act)

Yeah, I saw on the news the LAPD seized two Mustangs for drag racing and are going to destroy them. What a stupid waste.

That just to much power to the man first you can get a ticket for watching that a little far but okay. But now they can destroy your car if they catch you street racing what happen if you have mods will they just consider you racing just so they can crush your car.

No not "OK"...a ticket for watching?

Imagine...your in your S2k on the freeway...

2 cars go "racing" by...

You "watch" them...and do nothing but drive on...

A cop pulls you over and tickets YOU for not calling THEM (cops)...

Stupid right? Will never happen? Never...ever...ever...ever???

MMMMMmmm....

Just like you could Never....ever...ever....get a ticket just for "cruising". (1980's)
Just like you could Never....ever...ever....get a ticket just for "watching?"(1990's)
Just like you could Never....ever...ever....get a ticket just for...

A free sociacty must be able to govern it self...it must also be able to govern those who go too far...even those who make the laws.

Tell Gray Davis, who was the only governor to ever be "recalled" in CA....about things that can never...ever...ever...happen.

I just have to say this is ing

Well I used to thing that people involved in car chases were stoopid. Looks like I may be one of those involved in a chase just incase there is a chance my car would be crushed. Here are somethings that I will need for mods. Maybe Spugen can hook me up??

1)James Bond license plate with two numbers
2)James Bond smoke screen
3)extra gas tank
4) NOS (to outrun those helicopters!)

Incase they decide to pull me over. Cause someone is gonna die if my car is crushed!

You guys should watch dateline this Friday night. It's all about Racers, etc. Mostly European cars it looked like. But everyone does those freeway runs. They love bagging on people that do "stupid manuvers"

Looks kind of interesting.
