[QUOTE="exdeath, post: 6600263, member: 56343"] Can't blame the Nazis and concentration camp workers for following the law either... or suicide bombers for following Islamic law... etc Not trying to equate genocide with peeling out, but just pointing out how absurd "just enforcing the law" can be sometimes when done blindly and without regard to the legality or sensibility of that law, especially when it's a vague catch all blanket law that can be used to nail someone for any situation you can imagine (see anti-terror laws being twisted and abused to tackle non terror related crimes in order to secure tap warrants, etc). Absolute power corrupts absolutely. I've heard of cases where people have raced or revved and done donuts and things on private property, where police try to get them on "racing", then with the realization that it's a private street or parking lot, with permission and knowledge of the owner, it suddenly changes to previously unmentioned things like "noise complaints" or "wasting resources" and any straw grasping they can pull our of their arse by twisting every law available. Bottom line is they personally do not like what someone else is doing, and they throw their weight around with whatever tools they have available to try to put a stop to something, when really the only person it's bothering is him. I don't care how many people he's carried to the ER with their skull in their hands, it's private property and it's at the participants own risk. I did not request someone else to look out for my safety. It's not always the case, you could always get a cool guy that pulls in to watch and check out the cars or something, ask you to wind it down before dark, etc. But it only takes one politically motivated dick with an agenda to spoil the image for the whole. FYI I've never personally experienced any harassment with police, or ever so much as been pulled over. I'm merely playing devils advocate from the perspective of someone who is vigilant against power abuse and government intervention in private affairs. (Actually I have once but he and I both knew it was bogus and I called his bluff and sent him on his way). Calling a simple act like tire spinning at 0 mph when are alone "street racing", knowing full and well that "street racing" is the most serious traffic offense (since when is blipping the throttle off a green frowned on 1000 times worse than drunk driving or running lights and speeding?)... thats a personal agenda. Any reasonable cop without an agenda would simply fine you for vandalism of public property and request community service to scrub up the rubber you laid down with a tooth brush. But no, they are probably one of the aforementioned Prius driving socialists that doesn't think anyone needs more than 50 HP and they want to nail you for all they can for flexing your peen. So if your exhaust is louder than a mini van, you must have been revving it, oh it's street racing, lets crush some cars. Pass a law to stop a serious problem, and when that problem goes away or isn't currently occurring, what happens? Broaden the definition of "racing" so you can catch more in the net that ordinarily are not part of the problem the law was originally meant for... Growing government is a pattern that is all to prevalent in this country in every aspect of our lives... and it needs to stop. [/QUOTE]
