today i was at my attorenys office and was reading some of the law mags and papers. i came across a article about street racing. it stated that in the last 90 days of 2003 there was a nation wide crack down on street racing. at the end of the 90 days they added up disbatch calls and tickets plus accident. they stated that there are 3 states out of control with street racing .here they are in order

1.florida
2.cali
3.texas

gov bush stated that in florida alone in oct-dec 03 there were 41 thousand calls to local police departments about stree racing. alone 15 thousand came from the tri-county area( hillsborugh,pinllas ,pasco) the 3 state are pushing for a 3 strikes law for street racing.just like felons. and in pinellas and pasco will see SRIO (street racing inforcement officers)in 05 and they will have the cars and the funds to make a difference


accidents from street racing
florida 2002- just over 600 reported 1000( 2003)
cali 1600 reported 2002
texas has not reported

they are talking about stiffer jail sentences and loss of licence for long amouts of time dam things are getting crazy out there yo
