Default "Street Racing: Zero Tolerance" Documentary

One of the first cars to appear street racing is our beloved S2000 CR

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4slFq1iNaY&feature=player_embedded#!


Just a friendly reminder to drive these beautiful cars (and all other vehicles) carefully on the streets and race on the track, not on the streets! Happy driving!

This can't be real.

The opening video was a joke. What s2000 would go heads up to a Camero... in the rain... with passengers.

Then the cops start with stuff like:

"All the street racers are driving souped up 4 cylinders"

"There are 2 - 3 hundred street racers out tonight"

This reminds me of True Life "I'm a street racer".

Why did they arrest the guy that was asleep in his car. They just wanted to mess with a guy trying to be safe and driving drunk.

After watching the whole video its basically a commercial supporting street racing. The cops look like a-holes just pestering people. I learned that if I dangle anything from my car it will mean that I want to race. My pick up truck is dangling its muffler, no wonder people have been revving their engine at me.

BTW... Yellow S @ 28:00

Idk what part of the country your in but the area im in this would happen at 11pm every Friday and Saturday like clock work and it would be about any where between 100-300 cars. This whent on for years and ill admit i whent out a few times when i was younger and stupid. Then about 2 years the local Sheriff office and local PD blocked in about 250-300 cars and gave EVERY single person tickets. Ever since then it all but killed it you still get cars out but not nearly the number as it was.

And for the guy in the black Pontiac the officer said they cant get him with a criminal charge because they key weren't in the ignition. + he probably drove there like that and how do they know hes not gonna try to drive later like that. IMO they are dong the guy a favor before he dose something stupid.

I saw S2000's @

They really need to open a drag strip in the area. It seems like 95% of all the illegal street racing disappeared when they started open drag nights every Friday night during the summer at my local the drag strip. Its cheap, safe, no cops, and it gives you a place to socialize and loiter around if you want.

Silver ap1 @ 35:44 and a gpw ap1 @ 37:42. I saw more but didn't keep track till the end.

In my area after the big bust a Local Drag strip started doing Street Heat nights once a month. Lots of cars would go out about 100-200 i whent a few times it was a good time. But then the county purcshed the property to run a new road threw it But it nevered happened so the track was closed for about 2 years. Then the county got smart sold the track to a new owner and they Re-oped it

Damn, ricers everywhere!

There's street racing around here but it's a lot different. It's only a few dozen people and with much faster cars and always on highways. Surprisingly the cops honestly don't seem to care and leave them alone for the most part.

This video is exactly why I don't attend things like that, 90% of it are ricers that can't drive and hot boys that follow you home.

I saw this video the other night, and I wanted to make a post about it discussing the police officers mindset. I recognize that we all know cops behave this way and possess this point of view, but the mindset that "oh it's night time and this guy looks like a street racer, so we should pull him over for every BS traffic violation" is incredibly inappropriate. They describe the scenario multiple times as a "game of cat and mouse" and seem more concerned about harassing the groups involved in street racing (because not EVERYONE there races) than genuinely caring about the safety of innocent drivers, bystanders, or the street racers themselves. To me, it just looks more than ever like a revenue stream instead of an effort to ensure public safety.
