“If you’re not into street racing, why would you need that?” Riverside Police Traffic Sergeant Skip Showalter asked an enthusiast during a similar crackdown last year. “Why would you want more power going to your car?” what a douhce and a fucken joke. ide just say its for tradk days or some shit. then ask him if he needs to carry to a gun to feel like the big man that he’s trying to act like ---

i’d say why do cars from factory today need to come with 300hp? what a douche bag… that’s like saying any car that’s relatively fast takes part in street racing, so every beamer, mercedes, ferrari, porsche, even dodge charger to saab 93… anyone who owns any sort of car with power takes part in street racing… what a fool Jon ---

Last year cops were giving out inspection tickets!! What these cops did was an onsite inspection. When you bring your cars out make sure it’s legit( it has the emmision stuff, no holes in our floor or frame rail, tires are good and what not. ---

Isn’t it against the law to give out tickets in a parking lot? Seeing as how it’s private property? ---

Law enforcement is not the problem, its the politicians, Mayor’s and the public. How do you think this 50 over law pass, the news keep showing accidents on the 400hwy’s and blaming it on street racing!!! The public was led to believe that Ontario has a street racing problem and the cops are trying to do their job, but could only hand out tickets. Before the law pass older people were, yes the government is doing something about racing. They did not know the law will applied to everbody. ---

I used to wonder how people could get exhaust noise tickets when there are Harley Davidson’s on the road which are loud as FUCK!!! They’re basically 2 wheeled mobile explosions, stock from the factory, esp when you put those giant chrome exhausts on them. How is this logical? Seriously…it makes no sense if you look at it from that perspective. ---

Seriously…it makes no sense if you look at it from that perspective. Cause exhausts on motorcycles are considered a safety feature since a motorcycle is alot harder to see than a car. ---

**Another fifty tickets were issued for paperwork violations, dark window tinting and lack of a front license plate.** total lowlife street racers. That article appeared to be taking a stab at the cops. $509K and 100 officers to raid a car meet? Thats excessive and I know ppl in California would much rather have those resources thrown at gangs, guns and drugs. ---
