So, this past weekend they start enforcing the new primary seat belt law in MO, meaning they can pull you over for that offense alone. One of my co-workers got pulled over for not wearing hers, and the officer gave her NO ticket, but told her that if she put it on right away, he would give her a coupon for a free shake at Sonic. Positive enforcement, but... where's the free shake for all of us who wear our seat belts every day?

Replying to: fezo (Jun 06, 2007 7:54 am) Sounds just like the road I grew up on. My mother still lives in the same house. The road had a 35 mph speed limit as far back as I can recall, and then it was lowered to 25 maybe 10 or so years ago. It's absurd, especially considering there's been no new development on that road since about 1965! |

My title is misleading since the cars getting crushed have stolen parts in them. "Police need a court order to destroy the cars. They must prove that the serial or identification numbers on a vehicle or its parts are removed, altered or destroyed." What say the peanut gallery? CA cops crushing street racers (Straightline - the quote is from the LA Times story linked there)

Replying to: steve_ (Jun 27, 2007 7:18 pm) The theft problem related tot he replacement/souping up parts demand is a major problem. I think this is handled right. It's a tough lesson for youths but it's there. Will it slow down street racing? Probably. Get caught; your car gets checked out. Do they have safety checks, pollution checks in California where the cars might regularly be checked out for parts? That would be profiling, yeah, but it's to society's good. |
