How stupid are these fools? It's like going to a gang land holding a sign "Hey MTF, shoot me".
I saw a green modified supra the other day that had really large gold stickers or paint on the back of the bumper that read "I know pull over"

to RX400h:


Please remove this post, the authorities monitor forums and you could potentially involve other people in this mess with reckless comments like that.

Since always. The arrest becomes public record with names and address as long as you are over 18. Reporting address's of the arrested has been done since as long as I can remember.

I agree. I know I have been cruising along on a LA freeway when I was about that age and joining an ongoing freeway chase. Its fun. dangerous, biut fun. I am not saying they should have kept going but this type of stuff happens. I was driving a 1.3 ltr civic so I dont think the speeds could have reached 100mpg let alone to exceed 100.lol


The lic plate HEY OFFCER is freakn awesome. If you saw it at a show or in a parking lot you would snap a shot with the camera phone. I wish them best of luck. I am sure they will learn their lessons

Really? I've seen news articles say 'so and so from <city>, <state>" but not their exact address and what not. I mean if they did something bad, and people wanted to retaliate on their families, its kind of a safety issue no? Or do they determine by what crime they did?

This is off topic, but lets just say they can print or report the address if they wanted to since they usually do have it. Sometimes they feel like it, sometimes they don't. Its just not unusual if they do. Not much different than doing a live shot outside the guys house and plastering his house all over live TV.

I agree on the we all do it. I don't weave through thick traffic. I do it to clear my head and other reasons. I've accepted getting caught so it doesn't excite me.

It's the people that do it through thick traffic making cars brake and weave, get on peoples *** before they change over and/or cross over into the car pool lane that kill it for others. If your going to do it know what your doing. There's probably a few thousand kids that think they're precision drivers that have weaved infront of me and I had to brake to cover for their misjudgement.
