Maybe he DID. We don't know what the inside of his pants looked like down at the police station.

I have to say it doesn't look like the same guy. Guy in Am doing burn out had on a yellow long sleeve with royal blue baseball cap and the guy arrested was wearing a tee-shirt with backwards blue and yellow trucker cap? Clearly an AM in both parts, but I want to see what happened in between the fade out/in.

Still stupid behavior either way in the burn out and resisting arrest.

I thought I saw different outfits, too.

At any rate, I never even thought about something like this. Burning rubber a crime? We used to do it in front of cops on Sat mornings when I was a kid. Long as we weren't racing they were cool. Maybe it's a recent thing and only in some parts of the country. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a law here, though.

That is just stupid, if someone messes up, someone can get hurt, and because of this type of activity, cops want to shut down all car meets.

That said, I have no problem with someone doing burnouts and donuts in a empty parking lot in a safe location, with no other people around, it can be a fun stress relief.

I can understand him having some fun in front of a crowd but in front of a crowd of cops? That guy needs to watch this video.

Why? Because he is building his rep. Now he can say that he had a fallout with cops ... over a burnout which he wont say of course. That Aston Martin is probably not even his, it goes from hand to hand within a group of people which is very common stuff. Typical today I did this so you give me that and tomorrow he did that so I will give you this. You will be surprised how many people live like that where there is some chunk of money or some compensation items that just circle around and dont belong to anybody actually.

It is sad that we are using our intellectual powers to discuss such a matter.
It is even more sad that I am participating in this worthless event/discussion.

That Chris Rock video is a gem. I remember watching it years ago when it first came out.

It was called "exibition of speed" where I grew up. One time I was sitting in traffic court & a guy was before the judge for poping a wheelie on his motorcycle. The judge didn't understand what had happened & the cop wasn't there so the defendant was excused.

HAHA, 2 questions

-where is this cause the car looks to have a newer NY plate on it, rusty/burnt orange with dark blue at the top

-the guy getting tackled by the cops is probably watching his friends car, tall skinny build wearing all black verse his friend who did the burnout wearing orange and obviously having a wide build.

Honestly looks like another **** up by our finest, really looks like someone just won the lotto
