My favourite Quotes:

> When ERASE ran out of applicable fines for the 0.12 per cent of trouble on the road, police started hanging out at the racetrack entrances to hassle and fine drivers who were taking it to the track. Yep, the program encouraging you to take it to the track was trying to bust you when you took it to the track.

AND… even more important

> Similar laws are in place in Florida, and recently a judge there ruled in a case that the “street racing” charges made at the discretion of the officer were “unconstitutional.”
> 
> So it’s only a matter of time before our new visionless law gets scrapped.

Very interesting article, just shows how slowly slowly our rights are being taken from us, i mean this is just one scenario involving cars.

Check out “The Amero”
