Great story Tubra.

 

That's amazing. If it was the California Highway Patrol or San Diego PD, I probably would have been pulled out of my car, beaten with sticks, shot, arrested, and sentenced to 10 years hard labor.

 

Don't forget they would crush the car.

 

Question. How does that work when the CHP crushes a car that a bank has a lien on? Does the bank simply lose their collateral?

 

Honestly I don't know, I've wondered for years how that's not theft or even cruel/unisual punishment.

 

I thought that car crushing thing was a one time deal when they wanted to get awareness out for street racing rampancy?

I remember reading about it a long time ago when areas of calif. were having big problem with street racing so they crushed a couple of them to scare off kids. Didn't know they still do it... Seems like a huge waste of potential charity money.

 

Not sure, I haven't heard any of them crushing cars here, except for some dog and pony PR stuff with some old Honda Civics. The most recent, I believe in 2011 was a Lexus IS-F, but the story is it was actually a pre-production test mule that couldn't be registered in the first place, and was crushed as a PR stunt.

All joking aside, I know of two personally who were caught for street racing. One in an M3, another with a Hemi Dodge Ram, neither served any time, just 3 points on their records and some fines. They still have their cars.

In fact, neither have any points on their driving records because they took traffic school for 1 point, and two sessions of Level II Traffic school to remove the other two points.

 

Interesting...being over here in IL I hear everything from the media... seems like they got me.

 

45? That's a 2 Mississippi race for me. Are you sure the other driver wasn't a cop?

 

Damn brother, hell of a story.
