Street Racing Crack Down - 8 Arrests Made
Street racing crackdown on Courtney Campbell
Monday, May 21, 2007
Tampa police arrested eight people and impounded seven vehicles early Sunday morning in connection with street racing on the Courtney Campbell Causeway.
Officers conducted the undercover operation in response to citizen complaints. They handed out flyers to the spectators that explained the penalties that go along with street racing.
The names of the adult suspects that have been identified are: 19-year-old Michael Harrington, 20-year-old Steven Goodwin, 18-year-old Salvatore Botari, 25-year-old Leslie Henson and 24-year-old Christopher Seltzer.
================================================== ==
What do you think of street racers having their cars permanently confiscated after a second offense?
The punishment is too lenient :
14%
The punishment is too harsh :
25%
The punishment is just right :
59%
Tell us what you think.

One of the consequences of such notions as "entitlements" is that people who have contributed nothing to society feel that society owes them something, apparently just for being nice enough to grace us with their presence.”

its a good thing they removed those killers from the streets!!! we could have all died.
really thou, all this went down for 40years at gandy bridge, then the cops chased them to ccc and left them along for a year or so and now they are going to ccc and throwing people in jail.
I've said this years ago... if they wanted to shut this down, they would....its not that hard at all. everyone goes to the same spots over and over again. but they don't really care untill people complain enough, then they throw a few people in jail and then you won't see the cops for a month, it gives the kids time to build back up. as for the new laws... the only reason lawmakers keep adding new ones, is it looks good at election time. the old standard of wreakless driving is the only law needed. that gets you a court date and a judge deals with what you were doing wreaklessly. the rest is just to make the news.

I like how the police flew through the parking (through the sand no less, so stopping quickly would have been a problem) area trying to block off exits. Good thing no one was walking by when they drove into there. They were going a bit fast IMO. Even if they are "better" drivers than the average civilian.
