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.

I thought this new law came out last year

 

I think it was only one county or city.... But I dont know shit about this.

 

Why don't they have as harsh penalties for drunk drivers?

 

wow.....


guess i'll be running from the cops. not like it will make it much worse

 

 

WTF ROFL

 

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.

 

Huh...oh well...
Its not like ill be racing a car on the street ever...not with my truck anyway.
Fuckit...bust up the street racin, just leave the bikers alone.
