Good? The main thread earlier today reported that spectators had their cars impounded also. People who were not doing doughnuts and what not.

Reminds me of FBI goon arresting spectators at the Capitol on J6 who also were not committing any crimes.

There’s a fine line between upholding the law and abusing it.

Sheriff Informs 88 "Street-Takeover" Thugs That Their Cars Are Impounded Indefinitely

Oh well. Law enforcement is a fluid situation.

“Good? The main thread earlier today reported that spectators had their cars impounded also.”

I’m not familiar with the circumstances, but if the “spectators” were there for the express purpose of watching the illegal activity, then they’re accessories. JMHO.

Were they blocking traffic? Just asking because I don’t know.

If no spectators were out there, these guys would pull this
about twice and quit.

It’s the crowds that get them out there. No, the spectators
were not spinning out. They were encouraging the ones who were.

I’m not sure how the fines will break down.

I’d be surprised if the final charges hit the spectators as
heavily, but this needs to be stopped.

Impounding all cars there other than people who lived
there drives the point home. STOP

Why should someone have to tell any of them, this is wrong.

People are getting harmed out there.

Even the perps shouldn’t necessarily have their cars impounded.

There are only four reasons for law enforcement to impound a car:

1. The vehicle is not registered.

2. The vehicle is not insured.

3. The vehicle is involved in an incident and it can’t be moved by the driver (a serious crash, for example).

4. The driver isn’t physically able to drive it (a medical emergency or arrest).

That’s it. Anyone involved in these street races who doesn’t fit one of these categories should not have his car impounded.

And here on FR, we should always operate under a first assumption that the police are NOT doing the right thing.

Many cities have announced that “Spectators” cars will also get impounded.

WITHOUT the spectators, the idiots closing off the intersections do not have an audience.
