need some help with street racing statistics
 

Ok I need all of y'alls help. I'm doing a paper in English Comp I about crime. I was to discuss how some laws actully increase crime. To be more specificly, how laws requiring that all cars caught street racing be impounded permently actully cause people to be more likely to run. I'm looking for statisics from states with such laws(Florida, etc) as well as statisics from states without such laws. Also any general information you think would be valuable, please feel free to tell me about it.

I'll see if I can find any statistics in CA. There are varying laws in different counties out here. We also have a few cops on the boards that would be a great resource. Let us know when you're done with the paper.

if they are going to take my car, h--- yeah im going, i aint paying for something that a cop is gonna buy for 100 buck's.:mad: :rolleyes:

Do they really do this? What happens if some dweeb cop decides you were racing and you weren't? I had one tell me years ago that he could "hear" me racing so I must have been. I beat it in court but it could have been the s**ts if this law was in effect.

I refuse to help anyone who says something of that nature...:p ;) :D

pretty much sums up what i said in josh's other thread.

Josh, Medik made an excellent point. that would be a big issue in your paper. where do you draw the line on racing and who makes that decision should be a big part of your paper. that is just my opinion, not trying to tell you how to do your paper. god luck!

This law is already in place in some states. FL has some SERIOUS issues, IMO, because they've changed how street racing is defined, allowing cops to cite you for street racing when you really not.

IMO, "contest of speed' shouldn't even be on the books. It should be speeding, reckless driving, carless driving, etc. What the other person is don't has nothing to do with you. And another thing, who in the crap gave the state the right so seize assests? That's like the state coming in a taking your TV because your kid is watching a NC 17 movie.
