Jeremy Schapp does a piece on the Street racing problem in just about every Major city! I had NO idea cops can Impound a car because of "Illegal" Modifications!

Saw that episode last week ... they did a surprisingly good job to keep saying "illegal street racing" and not "drag racing".

I don't think your car can be impounded for modifications in Nevada ... unless it is too loud or it does not conform to bumper height regulations. I have heard of cops spot checking the "Fast and Furious" kids for hollowed out cats and mufflers (or lack there of).

The City of Ontario (CA) had another multi-city task force raid on a group of Illegal Street racers this last weekend = 200 + arrests witha bunch of impounds on vehicles. I haven't looked but the local paper (Inland Valley Daily Bulletin) usually has as good coverage. Sad to see the Impounded cars get CRUSHED !

Street Racing = stupid! stupid! stupid!

Bob, do they impound vehicles because if Felony charges, or because they are street illegal?

Several jurisdictions have had so much of a problem, they've made impounding (and sometimes crushing) part of the street racing laws.
