something has been irking me. Why do they break up street racers, the people down here in louisville don't do sh!t. they hang out and talk about their cars. It's mostly respect, nothing personal. We'll be in best buy's parking lot, rally's parking lot and the break us up. Sometime's hand out tickets. What are we doing wrong? they can search all of our cars and I bet they wouldn't find any guns, any drugs. Nothing! Maybe a tuner magazine or some money, maybe their work clothes. But nothing illegal....Sorry for going on like that but, jeez. Loitering isn't shit. I pass about 2 cars a week with people in their cheefin' away on pot. Where's the cops then? but if I go down the street at 46 in a 45, I'm doing something wrong. gahhhhhhhhhhhh

Why stop street racers?

Reading the thread, my first reaction was "because street racing is dangerous."
Anyways, most of the time when you have a bunch of modded cars together, they think a street race might happen, and it's best to break it up before it even causes any kind of danger.
I know it sucks, but what can you do. How can the popo's know that you're not one of those who will be speeding down the street once they're gone?

Up here in Washington state the cops continued to harass us at our meets in the best buy parking lot. We ended up getting signed letters from the regional best buy manager and the property owner that said we have permission to meet there. Then we took the letter to the police department and had the sergeant on duty email copies to all his deputies. Since then we have had no trouble hanging out at that parking lot haha.Retired 1990 Accord LX Coupe

Its just the cops having nothing else better to do. they dont know how well you drive they dont want any trouble or anything bad happening to anyone. So being that some people cant behave and act normal and drive civilized they run everyone out of there. If they didnt they wouldnt be doing their job. As for the other shit about people selling and smokin weed in other places. Some cops either dont care and are aware of whats going on or are just too afraid of runnin up on them because most of the time the crooks have better aim than they do.
for example say if your coming down the road minding your own business and two cars come blazing down the block your unaware and so are they they try to stop slam into you and your dead and the drivers who where racing where dead where are the cops. They come up drawing what happened taking pictures shutting down that street re-directing traffic and they get the blame of not preventing the streetraces/meets or whatever from not happening lives lost.

Up here in Great Falls, it's the moronic mid-20 year-olds that in habit Malmstrom AFB that have ruined it for the rest of us. Until "The Fags and the Furious craze," we could hang out where ever we wanted, the cops never hasseled us, and generally we could just enjoy getting together for a few hours and just chill, listen to music and talk about cars. Then F&F came out, the Jetters starting making their Civics look like shit, racing all the time and before we knew it, there was 6 deaths attributed to street racing. As soon as this happened, the police were all over anyone with a car that isn't stock like a hobo on a ham sandwich. Mind you MT has no laws yet regarding car parts and whats legal etc, but I can see it coming.
Anyways, needless to say, all it takes is a few dick heads to ruin it for everyone. Sad I know, but that's the way it goes unfortunately...John "Heavy Q"

Originally posted by wrichards2005Agreed, street racers are totally different from tuners. But cops @ best buy shouldn't be able to do anything unless workers/managers at the store complain. In fact you probably have every right to be there. As long as you aren't staging street races, causing a scene, etc...John "Heavy Q"

I have a related story...kinda funny
So I'm in Chicago with some friends and I'm sitting passenger in a 2000 GSR and have another friend following us in a 92-96 Prelude VTEC. Anyhow, we're out late (in the A.M.) cruising, so we stop at the nastiest place ever (White Castle) to get some burgers. Well the friend with the GSR doesn't want to eat in his car, so both cars stop in some mall parking lot to eat outside the cars and BS. Anyhow, some mall security cop rolls up in some SUV and is like, NO LOITERING!!
So me being from a small town where shit like this don't happen, I was like thinking to myself "Loitering??"...so I tell the rent-a-cop, "Loitering? Nah, man no worries...we'll throw our stuff away when we done eating!"
Needless to say he was like "WTF?!?" and my friends died laughing.

Its not about street racing if its just a meet, but if you have one person being an idiot that in turn causes a comotion and the un-wanted attention your 'crew' needs.
Just two weeks ago a bunch of highschoolers were hanging out in a parking but ended up leaving because one of their buddies had to show off and peel out.
Ah to be back in highschool would be such a drag.Henry R

It's cause people die. My little sister just told me today a bunch of kids died racing on the nearby highway today...
I think there are a lot of places that could be turned into SAFE race tracks, but the cops make much more money writing tickets and impounding cars...
