stop who from doing it?
the california policy of crushing cars invovled in street racing was upheld in court not too long ago, taht is why this came up almost a year ago and then got dropped for a while. there was an injunction while the legalities were figured out.
it was shown in court that the cars that were determined to be invovled in street racing and got crushed were shown beyond a shadow of a doubt to have been invovled in an organized "criminal enterprise". the premise is that street racing widely invovles gambling, thus it is a way for people to make money. that money can be seen as the profit of a criminal enterprise if the event that made the profit can be shown to be both prearranged and intentionally an illegal act.
the great part is that the case that caused the 9+ month stoppage to the action was all based on someone who got busted big time in court because of his own passengers video camera. apparently everything from the phone call ahead of time, to the meet up, to the stips of the race, to determining the location, to the race itself, and even the winner collecting the cash was all on the tape. lol
when this all first came up there was a rumor that a bunch fo states were looking into creating similar laws, so far cali is alone on this one.
i love that they left the rimzzzzzz on the cars. lol the red ones on bottom made me LOL literally
