I am sick of hearing the cops bragging about this on the news. Apparently they are nailing an average of one person with this new street racing law about every 25 minutes in Ontario since the beginning of this weekend. One cop was even laughing on the news because he charged a 17 year old kid with it and the kid started to cry because it was his mother's car they impounded. Now that kid is not going to be able to afford insurance and is basically screwed.
I don't know how these laws even get passed. Who the hell is coming up with this shit?
The police use the excuse that they are trying to protect us. Well what about the people's lives they are ruining with these absurd charges?
No car for a week, large fines (up to $10,000 max, minimum 2K), plus I even heard they are calling your insurance company to personally inform them that you have been charged with street racing. This could put a lot of people into bankruptcy or even make them lose their house.
Plus they can charge you with street racing for basically anything they want, they are leaving it up to their own discretion. I heard one person locally was charged with this just for squealing his tires. Hopefully charges like that will be thrown out of court. That shouldn't warrant anything more than a $100 unnecessary noise charge.
The sad thing is that now that the law is in place, we will be stuck with it forever. No politician is going to try to reverse something like this.
FUCK THE POLICE.
