CA police raid car enthusiast gathering-generate revenue

Repost.

 

LOL The Inland Empire's finest...

 

There are so many threads on this topic throughout the forum.

 

Interesting-first time I've seen it. Thanks for the post.

 

wow, so f'd up. How can they repo the cars like that? Must have had illegal "for the street modifications"? Hope this doesnt happen at VCR. Although the cops that come by usually enjoy the show and are always super cool.

 

Just one too many speed obsessed teenagers out there.

 

The cops don't hassle us ancient folk, who know how to stay between the lines.

 

ESP in the IE. There are more street racing deaths in San Bernardino/Riverside than the rest of the state combined.

Illegal search an seizure? YES!

Neither do women, apparently.....................

 

SO, are you learning code now from Kraig G ? So when is he going to teach you the secret code that means " I PLAY WITH DOLLS".

 

wow...so much for our right to free assembly.

and for the CHP issuing ~101,553 tickets that amounted to 10.5m ...makes it an average of $103.4 per ticket..

$103.4*150 (at the raided meet) = $15,500

that's nohere close to $500,000 that they claimed paid for the overtime and all associated costs to conduct that "bust".

anotherl ink to the same story:

This makes we wonder what the California police make off the Santa Barbra BMW meet every year.

 

lots of the m3forum guys are afraid to even organize a cruise, or even go to bimmerfest now

 

r3vlimited, e30tech, bimmerforums, dtm-power, yeah, they are all feeling a little freaked out by it.

 

read another story where they crushed some cars without even going to court. pretty crap, if you ask me.

 

problem is a bunch of kids that don't know their rights, and are being intimidated, are not sure what to do. It is time for an pitifully under-paid public defender to step up.

Some of us are lucky to have multiple cars, some are track day weapons, but kids don't have the luxury, so everything they have goes in to their vehicular identity. Lose it all because they are don't know the procedure to fight it, and law enforcement exploits that, look at cvc 22350... It is something that is easily dismissed for less than the bail amount with ticket-clinic type services.
