Question

Green94droptop:
Let me get this straight, you say:
Quote:
As for the street races in Orlando, they are crazy
I will never take my car to them again (I'll go with buddies and watch though . Those rice drivers are sick crazy.
Granted there have been some idiots who do stupid things and get badly hurt or even die, but that's their own damn fault.
And it's about an EGO or harassment? I think you contradicted yourself there. We race in desolate areas to avoid getting busted, But we travel to & from the locations - And we all know no one is driving like John Q. Lawabider (ESPECIALLY WHEN SOMEONE DOES THE OLD "COPS" YELL ). Cops have to protect the safety of the MASSES, not the wants of racers. They have to police on the chance that someone "may" get hurt (as you said in your post). It would be like someone shooting a gun in the air saying "I'm not shooting at anyone" but we all know the bullets fall back to Earth. Do they "always kill", no, but they may so it's dangerous and illegal. Innocent people aside, what of the dumb street racer who gets hurt or killed. Do you think it ends there for the cops? Now the family/friends of the racer ask "Why wasn't this stopped?", and follow up with a nice little lawsuit (The American way, right?).
Like I said before "Cops are damned if they do, damned if they don't"
