Gov. Bush signs new law to sideline street racers

Wednesday, June 15, 2005
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) Racing on public streets could cost drivers their cars under a new law signed by Governor Jeb Bush.

The measure gives police the authority to seize the cars of owners who commit repeat offenses within five years.

Racing side-by-side or speeding alone around a set course becomes a first-degree misdemeanor under the new law.

The law takes effect in October. Offenders can be punished by a year in jail and fined $1,000, up from 60 days in jail with a $500.

Law enforcement officials said drag racing is a rising problem in Florida.

wow this is all sorts of messed up. They dont have to prove that you did anything and you can not fight it. At leased with a dui they have to video tape it and make you prove your intoxicated. Then if your not drunk you can go free. Your just fucked if you get a drag racing ticked even if your speeding just going to the store and someone speeds next to you.

Fsck it. Drive with a bottle of Jack Daniels. If you get pulled start chugging. Say you were not racing. Only drunk.
