I read in todays paper that boy racers are meeting with Bob Parker on thursday
to ask for land to do burnouts on.
That's BURNOUTS .... they look like this : http://tinyurl.com/342qr9
A pastime where the person who pollutes the most is the winner ?
Wonder which is going to be the lucky community which hosts this "facility",
what fun ! Hundreds of noisy cars and polluting smoke - hmmmm I wonder ?
Any volunteers ?
Paul :It isn't up to Council or the Mayor to organise arrests.
It seems to me that Bob Parker is doing a pretty good job with these little
toerags .
All Council CAN do is keep moving them on, make life uncomfortable for them.
I think this tactic has another spin off, a fellow from Helmores Lane was
quoted in the Press as saying " I used to have a lot of sympathy for them, not
any more " . The more people who get to see for themselves just how bad this
problem is the better, there has been too much tolerance and head patting.
Its all very well to say "arrest them" but you grab a handful of boyracers and
charge them with rioting, burnouts etc etc, its very hard to make charges stick
in Court , the only thing worse than seeing them not getting arrested is seeing
them slouch out of Court smirking because they got off on some kind of
technicality
Out here we've seen one or two police cars heading into a crowd of hundreds of
boyracers , being attacked with bottles, rocks and having to retreat with
broken windows and damaged cars. These scenes always happen on Friday &
Saturday nights, the busiest nights of the week for Police anyway. More Police
maybe? A squad dedicated to Boyracers for 12 months ?
Its going to take a long time to rid NZ of this problem - i used to think high
fuel prices would help - but these people car pool ( wow ..almost green)
Keep moving them on Bob, the more people they p*ss off the better. Who knows ,
maybe more parents will start to teach their children at a young age to respect
the rights of others.
Speaking of which, you wonder what chance there is of that when you know that
Police stopping a car (attending Burnouts out here, at 2.00 am one saturday
night) were staggered to find a two month old baby in the car.
