Those type of clubs have older more respectful people with money and don't street race or do burn outs when leaving parking lots.

I have always found with all my driving, the older the car, the more you can get away with under the hood, especially with a clean car.

I agree with you, but if the reality was that ALL people who violate this law were being ticketed equally, it wouldn't be an issue.

Ha HA Ha, You think you are equal?

Now all I need is a presidential pardon before Bush leaves office!

Equality has moved out of this country.

Amongst many other things.

Border Agents Can Search Laptops Without Cause

Quote: Ryan Singel, reporting for Wired, writes: "Federal agents at the border do not need any reason to search through travelers' laptops, cell phones or digital cameras for evidence of crimes, a federal appeals court ruled Monday, extending the government's power to look through belongings like suitcases at the border to electronics."

Supreme Court says police may search even if arrest invalid

Quote: WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court affirmed Wednesday that police have the power to conduct searches and seize evidence, even when done during an arrest that turns out to have violated state law.

Welcome to the police state.

BS! thats total and complete BS. they do just as much drag racing and engine revving as everyone else. its the stupid ignorant mindset that people like you have about older richer people that absolutely infuriates me.

you just pointed out exactly why the law is unconstitutional. "those clubs" have older, richer, citizens, and as such aren't ticketed despite being in violation of the law.

they do street race and do burn outs, but because they're older and richer they aren't ticketed.

because these are kids who have no idea they're getting screwed, they get taken advantage of by the PD. just because you THINK they're street racers, doesn't mean they are, and profiling them as disrespectful hoodlums is EXACTLY what is wrong with you and the PD. if its a gathering of people who aren't street racing or being wild, which is exactly what this gathering was, then why ticket them?

thanks for proving my point.

you sound like a racist from days before the civil rights movement. "oh they're black! they're dumb and illiterate and poor, we don't want them near us or our women."

"they're street racers! They have hondas and toyota's with turbo's and big exhausts! they're young irresponsible and disrespectful! All of them! We don't want them in our parking lot, despite being paying customers!"

Welcome to the police state.

which is exactly why i get so angry when ignorant people start spouting off their rhetoric about all this nonsense being ok. it angers me that people are so stupid as to whats happening all over. its a slippery slope, and once you let a few things go, it all goes to hell.

Nice edit job.

You just don't get it do you? As a business owner, what market would you want in your strip mall parking lot with multiple businesses and you need to keep all the different owners happy, young teens or middle aged baby boomers spending money? Somebody was complaing about it, pure and simple.

BTW, call me a racist to my face someday. I own a vintage ricer!

I didn't call you a racist, it has nothing to do with race. I said that you sound like one, using the same kind of logic and irrational thought that governed their opinions. don't twist whats said.

oh and EDIT I didn't take anything OUT of my other post, like most cowards do, i felt the needed to add more, instead of cluttering and double posting. get over it.
