Another police/crackdown rant. - Saxperience

JayEmDizzle · 28th April 2009, 12:41

Okay.. I'm sure this has been covered plenty of times but why is it that the police (From what I know of our local force) are cracking down harder on young car enthusiasts than potentially dangerous criminals?

I mean.. I can understand if people are sitting in a Focus car park shredding tyres and screeching off into the sunset, but, why do the police constantly hastle and "move on" innocent enthusiasts.

How many people here have been stopped and had their car searched by officers when they've done nothing wrong.
It's this stereotype that every enthusiast or ''youth'' is a potentially lethal boy racer.
The difference between enthusiast and thug needs to be made totally clear.

A spoiler, a bumper, a new set of rims. None of the following should suddenly drop you into the same class as these "write-off merchants".

There must be something that the "modding" community can do to prove to these narrow-minded enforcers that we're not all out to bald the tyres on every corner.

Anyone else agree?

fact is, most modders are tyre shreading idiots.

Prickle^p · 28th April 2009, 12:43

RobVT · 28th April 2009, 12:44

Maxamus · 28th April 2009, 12:47

Fookin hard to wheel spin a 1.0

JayEmDizzle · 28th April 2009, 12:47

Look at this site though.. This is a perfect example of how all modders aint idiots.
I mean.. Look at Simo.. He created a whole f*cking site and did a bloody good job with it too. Lol.

Also.. A lot of the posters on here are actually fairly intelligent.

They need to learn.. We're not all "McDonalds-Parkin' Burnout-Bandits" Haha.

Maxamus · 28th April 2009, 12:48

never been pulled either. And agree with most people saying that most modders do sit in cars noise polluting with sub's, burnouts and revving loud exhausts. when you have a kid in bed you don't wanna hear that shit. so you can see there point.

JayEmDizzle · 28th April 2009, 12:49

Lol. And exactly Maxamus.
Why can't they give us a designated area to "get the turbo oot"? Haha.
Nah but seriously... A place that we can all sit and have a good bit o' banter.
No.. Instead.. They'll just keep moving us on so we've got to constantly jump from car-park to car-park.

Yeah... So instead of coming down on us.. How about dealin' with the paedophiles/murderers/rapist etc etc..?

You're right.. Some burnt car park tarmac is so much more important than your child's safety. Daftys like.

JayEmDizzle · 28th April 2009, 12:49

Lol. That post was in reference to the post before your last.. Before people think I'm having conversation with myself.

At Wyvern in Derby there seems to be quite a lot of people, both enthusiasts and chavvy dicks. People drifting, playing music etc.. not much police action.
