I find it funny that this whole time they have had LAPD officers in squad cars sit in the lot and bullshit with all the drivers, even encourage them to showoff. They also allowed bikes and cars to do doughnuts, trucks to "drag" frame, lowriders to roll around messing with their hydros.
And only now do they start busting people? Hahaha weak attempt to make money.

you misunderstood...he said if you're car is modified then they will stop you...the reporter cut in and said something to the effect of "if you're caught racing", then they continued with the officer who went on to say they would arrest you and impound the car.

Can't really prove that something is stolen simply by looking at it.

I myself have gotten a string of tickets lately that I perceive to be lame, but I cannot blame an officer for simply doing his job (unless they are part of that overzealous percentage that are jackasses and are responsible for changing the public's perception of cops). Although I have never been to Porter Ranch- it is unfortunate that there is one less place to enjoy our cars at a time when more and more of our freedoms as car enthusiasts are being encroached upon.

This is really getting old the whole "weak attempt to make money" frame of thought in regards to police pulling people over and busting people. Police officers do not make the laws they merely enforce them; second, they are not getting paid extra or pocketing the money themselves when they dish out tickets- they are simply doing what they are told to do by city/county/state legislatures; and finally, I am obviously a fan of cars and racing myself, but when it comes down to it we all know that "street racing" is illegal and if you are not willing to pay the price of getting caught then perhaps you should look for another hobby. This is how it probably went- since everyone is being affected during these harsh economic times, the city council or county must have already known about Porter Ranch for some time and told the police to start enforcing more laws against "street racers" in order to help the county/city funding out.
