As cool as it is that they want to try and go after street racing, they are going about it all wrong. Targeting cars that are "lowered or have low profile tires" is BS

They might as well give you a ticket for driving a certain make or model of car in their county.

sticker up your stock car, and when they pull you over for it, completely pwn them with " all your aftermarket wizardry " as one cop told me....



theres plenty of Mustangs, Camaros, and Vettes around here with "altered" exhaust, intakes, and low-pro tires....oh, i guess that doesnt count, huh? time to start driving my dads supercharged Camaro....

once again... not to be a wet blanket or anything but ... why is this bull****? seriously? The cops are attempting to do something (hell, I'm suprised they are even doing ANYTHING!), and my tax-paying *** is paying for them to do SOMETHING, so .. why is this bull****?

.. oh, and profiling is not "illegal"... racial profiling is. If they "profile" a group based on equipment, there's nothing illegal about it.
