metallithrax Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 (edited) California cops have taken to crushing the impounded cars of street racers. Video I'm sure this brings tears to the eyes of some of you. Me, I agree with what they are doing (the cops that is).

Dujun Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 :blink: :crazy: :angry: :/ :cry: That about describes my feelings, except I couldn't find a smiley that shot a cop :( Oh, and if I had the risk of my car being chrushed, I would do even more to get away from the cops.

metallithrax Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 I can't believe (well, no I can :) ) that people are against this type of action. These people are engaging in ILLEGAL street racing putting not only themselves but innocent members of the public in danger. Having their car crushed is the least they should expect.

It's just completely retarded and selfish. If you want to race, fine, but do it on a track where you can only hurt yourself and not innocent bystanders. The cops are being stupid. Why crush them? Why not? I'd say that's a pretty big deterrent. If I put so much cash into my car I would hate the thought of it being destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dujun Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 lol @ you Why? Some people likes football and some people likes racing. What's the difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neufuse Veteran Posted June 20, 2007 Veteran Share Posted June 20, 2007 Why? Some people likes football and some people likes racing. What's the difference? uh? because this is ILLEGAL and unsafe street racing! someone could get killed on accident (bystandard) ! unlike legal track racing... where you know the risks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nose Nuggets Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 there is a line that needs to be drawn. im surprised it legal to crush a car that the owner can pay to get out of the impound and is street legal. if they cant afford to pay the bills to get it out, thats one thing. the illegal mods/street legal thing is also not black and white. there are laws in place that give hefty fines and posible jail time to those who race illegally on the streets. i don't think that doing that crime warrants your car being smashed. just like i don't think public intoxication warrants a cop coming into your house and smashing all your wine glasses. get some frame of reference here people. just because YOU dont street race and YOU dont condone street racing does not mean that some simmaler BS could, one day, be imposed on you. the street racing aspect is, IMHO irrelevant. they are destroying personal property to try to persuade other racers not to do it. i think its the complete wrong approach. just wait untill some retired 60 year old man gets his E55 AMG crushed because he drag raced someone at a traffic light. then someone with money will do the what im sad to say, is necessary, and fight this in a district court.

Personally I would choose the leagal alternative any day :yes: I understand why people thinks it's wrong, but I can't just go to a race track and drive...

tazzeh Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I'm sure some of us UK people have seen this advert on tv of what happens when you don't pay your car tax. They will have the power to tow your car and crush it! Harsh treatment but effective! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azusa Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 uh? because this is ILLEGAL and unsafe street racing! someone could get killed on accident (bystandard) ! unlike legal track racing... where you know the risks most if not all street racers know the risks its the stupid cops who think they know best things like this makes me glad the Yakuza owns the tokyo PD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berserk87 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 it would make more sense to give them a huge fine to get there car back, and if they cant afford it, the car goes on auction. that way the city gets extra $$$ and less street racers without wasting time and money.

And he would completely deserve it. I feel no sympathy for these people getting their cars crushed. If they want to put their own lives on the line, that's fine, but if they're going to do it out on the road where innocent lives could be taken, then I have no qualms with destroying the vehicle they use to do that.

metallithrax Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 most if not all street racers know the risks its the stupid cops who think they know best things like this makes me glad the Yakuza owns the tokyo PD In general the police do know better than the ILLEGAL street racers. They racers may know the risks, but what about the INNOCENT passer by who gets hit by the ILLEGAL street racer and dies? What then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalledChaos Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 (edited) the people who say what the cops are doing is wrong... well maybe you can go and do some illegal street racing, and then crash and die, and see what you say then.. the cops are doing this to save lives... and the only ones who are crying on here are probably ricers who pretend they have supped up cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
