  4. Not one mention of increased penalties for street racing. As in ... 7 people shot last weekend at several street racing events.

    Any vehicle observed and found to be engaged in street racing, as one of two or more vehicles, shall be confiscated and sold at auction.

  7. Fucking parasites. Protect and serve who, themselves. How about getting a few monkeys off the road that can’t drive worth a fuck, oh I see there’s no money in that and besides it’s racist. No wonder nobody respects the cops anymore

  8. I would be happy if folks with expired temp tags and tags were dealt with. That'll keep cops plenty busy. Wonder why they dont hold tax refunds for unpaid sales tax, expired insurance, registration of personal property. That would nip it in the bud.

  10. Buy a road camera and install it inside your vehicle. They were mandatory at FedEx, but ignored, or manipulated, if you were a favorite.
