Street Racers Impounded in B.C. 2 million $
First of all I know street racing is not talked about here, so let's not take it there this is an article about cars that got impounded for street racing in Canada. What's interesting is the cars were all very high end, and the owners very young. The article states the owner's were in their 20's, with a registered owner of a Lamborghini who was only 18.
The article: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/britis...impounded.html List of cars impounded: 2007 Ferrari 599 2010 Lamborghini Gallardo 2010 Lamborghini Gallardo 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo 2009 Audi R8 2012 Nissan GT-R 2010 Nissan GT-R 2010 Nissan GT-R 2010 Maserati Turismo 2010 Maserati Turismo 2011 Mercedes SL63 2011 Mercedes SLS 2005 Aston Martin DB9 What has the world come to

I know right? I'd expect at least a Camaro, if not a Z06 or ZR1 in there. Probably cause they'd all get beat

I'm amazed that the article says that the cars may be seized permanently. No way that happens in the USA. The report says that the officers pulled them over after receiving complaints of them speeding. Ummmm... So if i call the police and say you were speeding then you can impound the car? I don't think so. Where is the proof? How did they judge the speed, do people in BC ride around with their own radar guns? Ridiculous.
I'm not approving street racing, but I don't approve of government run amok, either. |

The fact that they were not charged with dangers driving, a criminal offense under the criminal code and only charged with street racing under the motor vehicle act says they might not have enough evidence. However, I'm thinking that a week with these car would be more than enough time to access the black box and find out just how fast they were going.A better question that maybe should be asked is what parent buys their kids cars like these when the have been driving for 2 years or less?
