TKC MUST READ!!! MAYOR Q SPONSORS KANSAS CITY STREET RACING 'SIDESHOW' CRACKDOWN ORDINANCE!!!

A recent Kansas City police crackdown targeting illegal street racing sideshows will soon have legislative support from the Mayor's office. 

To wit . . .

KANSAS CITY MAYOR Q SPONSORS ILLEGAL STREET RACING 'SIDESHOW' CRACKDOWN ORDINANCE FEATURING TOUGHER PENALTIES FOR RECKLESS MOTORISTS!!!

The Mayor typically touts "community-based solutions" and council has been fond of "restorative justice" so this "get tough" approach is a bit of a departure from forgiveness for so many vandals and violent rioters during 2020 civil unrest.

A highlight of the effort . . .

Illegal Kansas City sideshow street racers will soon confront a range of penalties reaching up to $500 and 6 months in jail. Moreover, police will soon be able to issue $100 tickets against spectators. 

Skeptics might argue that there are too many sideshows to patrol and online organizing can easily thwart police.

Possibly.

But let's talk turkey about this legislation . . .

The KCMO street racing sideshow crackdown ordinance and recent police efforts are mostly focused on pushing reckless drivers out of the downtown loop. 

The reality is that there are construction developments & investments WORTH MORE THAN ONE BILLION DOLLARS in this part of town and civic leaders can't risk that kind of EPIC MONEY to coddle stunt drivers who want to claim downtown streets as their own. 

The legislation might not end sideshows across KCMO but the smarter drivers and those who advise them should realize that this is nothing less than a DECLARATION OF WAR on street racing sideshows in Downtown Kansas City. 

Background on the QT and very hush hush for close readers . . . We've heard local po-po giggling about using their training that includes tactical car ramming maneuvers in order to bring suspect vehicles to a stop. 

And so . . . We share this info and insight if only so that Kansas City illicit drivers can't claim that they weren't warned.

Check the legislation that won't likely meeting with much resistance . . .

  2. Come on man Lucas isn't going to put his buds in jail and whatever happened to defunding the police? Now who exactly does he want to do the crack down? It surely can't be the police. What a dirty son of a bitch. He takes part and praises rioting and now wants police to do a crack down? Funny how the Plaza didn't mean crap but don't you mess with Quinton's developers. Quinton doesn't have the guts to slap a fly.

    1. 7:35 - please stop referring to the sedition Democrats did in the Georgia State capitol this week as a riot.

      It's domestic terrorism.

  8. And as soon as the police try to get involved to enforce another "Lucas law", there'll be videos, marches, protests, and riots over their "brutality" and racism.
    Don't forget that the "activists" who ignored Lucas' curfew and were arrested by the police were PARDONED by the "mayor".
    Superficial showboating is a Lucas specialty.
    And the segment of the population that creates the vast majority of the chaos and violence in the city know that better than anyone else.
    The emptiest of empty suits.

  9. The ban on "knowingly being present as a spectator" is likely unconstitutional, besides being gibberish.

    1. Democrats haven't cared about the rule of law since before slavery.

      They cared for a minute when the 13th amendment was being written. They made slavery constitutional. Did it by nationalizing slavery.

      Constitutionality is what Americans care about. Not Democrats.

  10. This isn't about safety, this is about young people challenging politician's authority. Those with big egos don't like to be challenged. When 150 people are murdered politicians don't care because its not a direct challenge to their authority.

  11. Municipal warrants were gutted after Missouri caved to the ferguson terrorism riots.

    This is why car insurance is so expensive in Missouri. It's ok to not have a license or insurance. Now, in Johnson County, KC residents get booked into county for that shit.

    Municipal court has a single digit attendance rate in KC. Tells you everything you need to know about who is getting municipal citations requiring court appearances.

    People who do not care about the rule of law.

    Q is barking, but he won't bite.

  12. Maybe Lucas reads TKC. He would if he had any sense. Some of the comments are constructive and express the opinions of the tax payers, not what the media pushes. He would do well to keep his focus on KC. Not soak out his time thinking he's going to Washington. He sure is't fulfilling his promises. Fix the jail or use a city owned building to renovate it. Stop supporting police de- funding. National guard will bust heads. Kansas City is dead.

    Haven''t set foot South of the river in years, except to drive thru to somewhere else. Nothing there worth attending. All amenities necessary for a good, full life are easily available in the Northland communities as far as Liberty and Excelsior Springs.

    Few blacks, and those here are by and large as nice as anyone else.

    Require passports to come across the bridges. Vote down the Etax extension.

    Better yet, secede. The infrastructure is in place and the tax base is large enough to maintain, repair and upgrade it. Clay, Platte and Ray counties don't put up with the JACO criminals.

  31. We need to do something

    But the language may be too broad about bystanders breaking it

    What if you are just in a part of town when this breaks out and if you are watching it? Very normal for folks to “gather round for the Beano” as tom Wolfe put it
