    This is a problem

    Police raid Riverside, California parking lot to issue modified car tickets at local car enthusiast gathering.


    Cops in CA are now busting you just for having a modded car in a parking lot. Warrantless searches, unreasonable search and seizere, jackbooted thugs. What country is this again?
    '90 AWD Protege, full GTR drivetrain swap, ~320 whp daily driver, RIP, and
    '90 AWD Protege, yet another GTR swap, Open class rallycar with a Toyota GT4 gearbox swap, thus crossing the line between hobby and mental illness. And a Brabus E55 K8, removing all doubt.

    i love the cop that asked "If you're not into street racing, why would you need that?" Riverside Police Traffic Sergeant Skip Showalter asked an enthusiast during a similar crackdown last year. "Why would you want more power going to your car?"


    i woulda asked him "if youre not a rapist, why do you need that penis?"

        The "ideal" society where everyone has the same car, the same house, the same job, the same life. An ideal society where only thinking outside the norm means you're a criminal of the worse offense: Thought Crime. This ideal society was attempted by the communists in Europe during the 20th century and it failed. Let's hope people break through and don't let it happen here - or anywhere else in the world for that matter.

            very true. Did you know that under patriot act II. References to The constitution and the bill of rights labels you as a terrorist on a federal level? haha you better have a normal life, or you might disappear. And kiss your civil liberties good-bye, they can arrest you, search and seize your property without a warrant. They can look at your medical history, employment history.

            They can also use whatever means necessary to spy on you, without warrant. Through phone taps, searching your computer, cellphone conversations.

            You think im lying? research patriot act II. This IS NOT the America our parents and grandparents grew up in!

            This is supposedly to find people with connections to terrorist networks. So now we are guilty until proven innocent? welcome to the USA, year: 2008

            haha this is your fault for getting me started on this rant...lol

                              Are car clubs the enemy now?
                              Whether or not the police can do this not withstanding, why would they want to? The money is the obvious answer but the backlash will over shadow any short term gains. At least I hope people don't put up with it.

                              I'm a little afraid to ask but, what next?
