I don't think that the cops should get all the credit for this. There are some cops that are total dicks and will give tickets for absolutly no reason, but as someone else mentioned 75 cops don't show up on a street racing bust because they are bored. Most likely they were ordered to crack down on street racing from someone higher up. Most likely there have been alot of street racing, accidents, and maybe some deaths causing either the top guys on the force (like the chief) or people on the city councel/mayor to put pressure on the police to do something about the street racing.

 

alot of those "trespassing" or "loitering" citations are encouraged by buiseness' who are afraid of being held liable if something (fistfight, car wreck) happens on their property , people will and DO sue places like Home depot for not enforcing "no loitering " laws ...for instance ..distraught parents of kids who were killed in an accident ...just another side of the story i suppose ..altho im sure not going to be a popular one around here ..

 

K when I say what my oppinion is remember I am for law enforcement almost in every case. This is pretty rediculous and was very poorly planned to cut off the exits. And in the instance that someone is simply there to check out the cars, then boom before they know it there in cuffs thats f'd. There is no better words to describe that, and really if you were not drag racing I would stick it to the man and get as many people as possible to fight it.

 

fawwkkk that sucks dude i hope your cars okay out of the impound people take **** off it and then scrach it up and then say "it was like that!"

 

betcha they wouldnt have broken up a group of exotics or something like that...people with lambos and stuff. but notice what social class they do it to?

thats right...

 

There's a gathering place just like that around here in Monroeville, PA. I'm sure it will get busted soon.

 

A lambo owner would shove a lawsuit so far up the police force's *** that they would be spitting out ink. Your run of the mill import owner can't afford that kind of litigation.

 

yes thats true. thats why its sad.

 

Wow, I was eating at the chinese buffet next to old country a couple of hours before that happened...

I have never gotten the chance to go to one of these events, but my one friend goes there frequently. What he tells me is about the same this you have said. Mainly its just a group of people hanging out, showing off their cars, and having a good time. According to him, there are some races on rt. 30, but most are done when the street is empty. Even though it does only take one race to kill someone, there are other places that cops should crack down on instead of OCB and rt. 30...

Good luck in fighting your ticket, you have my support...

 

wow man ****ty deal. i feel lucky to live in a place where the cops arent *** holes. people hang out up at the mall, and unless theres underage drinking or street racing, the cops just ask what were up to and we say not much just hangin out, they say have a great night and leave us alone.
