Post Why showing off is bad when cops are around (DB9 content)

If yall remember I was interviewed by the news a few years ago about this spot..it was wild and we welcomed the increased police presence .

Well things started getting nutty again and myself and a lot of others stopped going. Had to go to early to park, all the crappy cars took the good spots and tons of craziness going on.

Its sad b/c you would sometimes see some nice stuff and chat with people you don't see often but the recklessness is too much

He should have been arrested for vandalizing that poor Aston for that reason alone.

It's not a very smart thing to do even when cops aren't around.

Just another variation of a sideshow, not a good idea.

I think it's just a fix-it ticket for 1st time offenders, but I don't know for sure since I've never gotten one.

The laws vary state-by state on this, so there is no one hard and fast rule, but many jurisdictions have what is called a "break-traction rule". If you spin the tires, on dry pavement, to the point where they squeal, smoke, or slide, a cop, if they see or hear it, can write you up for that, even if you are not breaking any speed limits or any other traffic laws.
