California police raid enthusiast car show!

Its easier to harrass them than to actually go after rappist or or burglars . Wimps .

 

Never heard of such a thing happening in Florida.... Must be a Republic of California thing..............

 

Somehow they've succeeded in making customized cars into contraband that can be seized and publicly crushed.

 

Why do the voters put up with stuff like that in the PRK (Peoples Republic of Kalifornia)?

Your mayor Loveridge in Riverside is a Longshoreman first, a Democrat second, and a hater of all things that emit gasses.

...but, if the kids had invited Longshoremen to put up a union display at their event, you would have had no raid, and no cars would have been confiscated.




Gotta pay your protection money one way or the other in Riverside...

 

A town near me in IL sponsored a car show a few years back. They promoted it and it was a big event for the town and attracted lots of people, all who spent lots of money on food, drinks, etc. Well, the police showed up and ticketed every car without a front license plate. Needless to say, the event did not repeat the following years, and in IL all you have to do it put the plate on, take a picture of it and go to court. They dismiss the fine. Net revenue? Not much. I imagine the Mayor had a tough time getting re-elected after that.

Oh, and for you political spinners, this was a completely Republican district.

98 tickets into $503,000 is $5,132.65 per ticket to break even. I doubt if the tickets were that high. so it looks like harassment pure and simple as the gov't lost a bunch of taxpayer money on this operation.

I am sure the police enjoyed the overtime pay at taxpayer expense.

more gov't by the gov't, for the gov't and of the gov't. I just threw up in my mouth...again.

 

How ironic - a politician against emitting gas.

I had an encounter with some officers here in Florida because I was in my lamborghini hanging out in a parking lot with a lot of car people. There were imports, european and American muscle cars, but I was the only exotic. They asked how come a rich guy was hanging out with that crowd, where was I from, my ethnic background, what was my first language, what did I do for a living, how long have I reside in the USA, how come my family moved from Europe to Cuba and then here, how come I'm parked in a handicap space with a permit of course but I don't look the part, how come you are handicap but can street race and be standing and talking for over an hour...
To make things more interesting the police were one southern accent guy, a black, a Hindu and a mexican!

 

That Mayor must be a complete AH

I just mapquested Riverside, thats one place I am never going

I have FL plates on my car, have not had any issues w LAPD and I hope to keep it that way

btw Cops do not need warrants to search your car.

If they want to they can ask your permission, NEVER say yes

If they want to they can then get a warrant and burn up hours of your time by the highway

or they can just impound your car & search it at will there

 

Maybe they ran out of prostitutes to harass

 

That's some good "Politicing" going on out there in the Valley of the Dirt People!! Get them to Washington FAST so they can multiply that X 100000000 and f**k everyone, not just some car guys!

 

The Houston Police raided a big parking lot 'event 'in much the same way a few years back...

The lawyers will have a field day with this.......here most of the cases were tossed out, and quite a few in the PD lost jobs over it..

It will depend on lots of variables, but here the argument went that those in the citations were mixed with actual customers of legitimate adjacent businesses...Whataburger, Target stores....folks argued they were on legitimate business and were caught up in the sting..

There has a lso been incidents here as one poster noted where they target an auto show with the Front Plate violations, those usually stick, though. I have hung all mine to avoid the hassle.

 

Not necessarily. As I have posted before, a few years ago Clean-Air Enforcement Officers showed up at an Atlanta area car show and arrested the owners and confiscated a few vehicles that had their emissions equipment (including cats) removed. That's why I have posted many times that it is not smart to post on FChat about how you just removed the cats and installed 'test pipes' on your Ferrari. It will only get worse my friends. After all, big brother has internet access too!

 

Take note, that other than the California Highway Patrol, all of the police agencies were small town cops. No L.A. County Sherrif and no LAPD. We have a large exotic car gathering of Ferraris, Porsches, Astons, Lambos, etc. at Mullhulland in Woodland Hills the last Sunday of every month. The LAPD routinely cruise with us and check out the cars just like one of us. They mingle with the crowd and generally enjoy themselves.

 

It would be nice if they would do the same thing and instead of raiding a car gathering, round up the millions of illegals in this country.



Hu-oh, did I just make this a political discussion????

 

JESUS CHRIST!!!! Would you cut that sh*t out already, hu?

 

Sometimes cops can be Fuc438ing a45739593holes

 

Good job to the cops, get those dangerous backyard engineered fartcan exhust Hondas off the street!

 

LOL!!!

You big retard.

 

I will pray for you........

 

I understand they have done the same with firearms in Ca

 

Why can't they just get into Street Gangs and sell Crack like all the other kids,,
instead of wasting their time learning about Motors and electronics and such.
I wouldn't want any of Those Kids installing my new GPS-Nav system,, heck no...!
They probably only have, like, 8 years experiance..!


Bad cop, No donut!
