Unfortunately, while one could get out of such charges it would cost substantially more than the ticket.

Can you say Gestapo?

I knew you could. :D

It sounds like something the constitutuon would have prevented (abuse of power by a branch of government.)

At around 11pm police surprised participants by blocking all exits with fifty police cruisers. Officers then began a warrantless search and interrogation operation of the 150 vehicles that were present.

...

Despite labeling the parking lot raid as taking place at a \"street racing venue,\" Riverside Police offered no evidence that any street racing actually took place.

That is total BS.  If i saw them coming, i'd close my hood, roll up the windows, lock the car and walk away.

\" Owners of imported sport compact cars had gathered at the Canyon Crossing shopping center on Friday night to swap stories, talk about their passion for cars and show off the latest enhancements to their rides.\"

I know for most of us this statement would be true. In So.Cal however the car cruise scene is 100 times larger than around here. So that means 100 times more idiots who think they have something to prove with their cars. You know how crazy it's been in Langley some Friday nights it crazier in LA. It's a shame a few have to wreak things for true car enthusiasts who just enjoy getting together to admire each others handiwork. Sometimes the police have to come in due to people doing stupid things on private property and public roads. Anyone here old enough to remember Harvey road and 192 st...........We deserved to be hasseled!!!!!
    Hows that for an angle:)

i remember plenty of times when we had the cops show up at either end to block us in.
1 by 1 we filed by the cops as they did essentially the same thing.bs fines for anything and everything.

I wonder why they confiscated the cars, too much illegal stuff I guess.

They can get you for no tint or plate but engine mods? Just say you race it at the track as a hobby. Also, arent you allowed underglows and other illegal things in parking lots at car gatherings just not on the street??

\"I just tinted these windows right now for the gathering, I will remove it before the car moves.\"

Hail Hitler :angry:
