Florida...Crackin Down on DragRacing
A couple of days ago...2 men were arrested for felony vehicular homicide. Back in September, They were racing in broad-day light on a busy street when one driver lost control and collided with the other car. A passenger was killed...It took FHP (Florida highway Patrol) 2 months to make any arrests.
Yesterday, I was among ricers at a local Steak & Shake (a great place for steak burgers) when 2 FHP's pulled up. They drove around the restaurant 3-4 times before one of them stopped and asked what we where doing. We told him we were waiting for a friend to arrive so we can go inside to eat. They drove off. We ate and left...Not even a 1/2 mile from the S&S, My radar went crazy. The same FHP pulled my friend over, and so did his FHP buddy. We were not racing...even though it might have looked as if we were. There were like 6 ricers one after another pulled over waiting for the other 2 recieving citations. FHP appraoched us and gave 3 of us citations for "Participating/Observing Illegal DragRacing" I tried to argue..."We were not drag racing" He replied, "Well, yoou guys probably were going to...Consider this an advance." Hell, We are all Planning to fight this one..I mean pickit signs and all.
FCK FHP!!!
