um fuck that shit. If im caught “street racing” I will run away from the cops. They sieze my car, crush it, give me a huge ass fine, could throw me in jail. hmmm if i get caught running i get evading police as well. I would take that risk and im sure many other people would as financially and legally there fucked anyway. plus im a minor so clean after 18 :D. I dont street race by the way but i know since its up to the cop pulling from a line fast against another car up to speed limit lets say would still constitute street racing. The government should mabey focus on gangs, guns the more important crimes that are ruining the city not street racing jeeze. ---

An’ I’m gonna race it, an’ I’m gonna drift it an’ if the cops show up I’ll run…” Thats what we are trying to avoid, we are trying to get CLEAR LAWS about street racing. As it stands now, we have guys from Toronto Integra and Nisforums on board. It won’t be long until there will be quite a few of us, then we go to City Hall pettion for our protest… This needs to be done fast… In the next few weeks. Oh, and if it is a criminal offence, it stays with you… Even if your a minor. It may not be on public record, but its there. ---

Crushing people’s cars is just going to make them scared and angry, and that’s a bad combination. All this is going to do is encourage more high speed chases from people who are scared their car will be crushed. It’s stupid how the government has to resort to terrorist-like scare tactics. This was basically a televised execution. ---

Spoke to my Sister who is a PHd. at York in PolySci. the whole argument and application of the laws they’ve used to impound, sieze and crush the car is 100% actionable based on the Canadian Charter of Rights. The Ontario Goverment has infringed upon them by assuming that “every modified car IS going to be used to street race, therefore your are guilty” Simple as that. THey take your car and crush it based on the assumption that you are guilty of being a streetracer becuse you havea modified car. I simple trip to your lawyer , case filed and you walk away allot richer and the goverment with a legal egg on it’s face for the next election. the Harper bill probably won’t make it to 2nd reading because of the possibility of a fall election being called… ---

I completely agree someone needs to whip up some signs “I AM NOT A STREET RACER” in big white plastic with bold black lettering, but narrow enough to not obscure taillights or licence plate (some cars might fail here but…) so as not to make them illegal, stick one to every vehicle with a trunk you own and if you want to piss off everyone ride in convoys of 5 and spread out 1 per lane and drive the speed limit… you won’t hear much after the blaring horns but drive steadily for like 5-10km and then spontaneously break up… do this periodically so you let everyone roar by in rage and you get a new audience built up to show the signage _“Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar.”_ **– Julius Caesar** _“What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?”_ **– Mahatma Gandhi** _“Fascism should more properly be called corporatism, since it is the merger of state and corporate power”_ **– Benito Mussolini** ---
