This topic rears its ugly head again in Ontario, just turn the screws tighter to the non-sheepmobile drivers:
Attorney general says he can seize street-racing cars without laying charges
TORONTO (CP) - The government has the power to seize and destroy cars that have been adapted for street racing, and can do so before a race takes place or any charges are laid, Ontario Attorney General Michael Bryant said Wednesday.
Car junkies who pour thousands of dollars into their vehicles to make them as fast as possible are wasting their money, Bryant said. He warned potential racers that all it takes is a tip from police to seize and destroy their cars.
“If we can establish someone has parts and they’re juicing up their car - obviously for the purpose of street racing - then we can seize those vehicles,” Bryant said.
“We will seize it and you will never see it again. We will crush your car, we will crush the parts.”
Bryant said cars built for street racing are as dangerous as explosives and can cause catastrophic damage.
Its one thing to crush a convicted street racers vehicle, but on a whim?
