sorry, I'll bet they are getting more than homework and write a letter..
an other angel that never breaks the law, never speeds, and never ever drove 45mph in a populated area..
bam is guessing what is going to happen to the kids.. GUESSING.. sorry Haley there are ways to punish people with out it being punishment through money(fine,insurance surcharges)
seems no one GETS THAT...
the fact that bam bam retired cop is pissed that another officer is cutting them some slack by not ticketing them and making the punishment just a money thing, and is useing ways that hurt the kids more than a fine..
but yet, I'm sure bam bam's fixed buddies tickets, but thats A-ok..
Haley, maybe just maybe a fine wouldn't do a dam thing as maybe the kids family is made of money,, maybe just maybe the cop that isn't retired KNOWS THIS and is handle'n it , it a much better ,lasting way..
it's quite funny that everyone is angels here.. halo over their heads,
so get pissed, because the few that are "more than likely" the ones your pissed off because of our responses, are being truthfull.. unlike most that are agree'n with bambam.. and did the same thing, some still do it.. but it's ok because they do it out on a road they think NO ONE WILL BE ON..
whats sickning is the amount of denial of the stuff they/me/even you did as a teen without thinking of others or whom could get hurt.. key word "could" ..
(in my best jerimmey clarkson voice) " it's been said that those that denounce actions wher/are the worst offenders.."
and are the same ones that'll have a few wobbley pops on a friday and drive home and think nothing of it, or whom could(there is that key word again) get hurt..
reply if you've always do the right thing and are an angel behind the wheel 100% of the time..
sorry I can't say that.. with a straight face, CAN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ?

Um, excuse me. Who the f*ck do you think you are coming in here and basically calling people hypocrites when NO ONE has said that they're "angels" and haven't broken the law? I know I never said that. It's not about a damn fine or anything to do with money. Yes, it might make the kids think twice about doing it if the fine is high enough. But it's about them being held accountable for their actions and there being a record of it.

ya, give the kids a record, thats great.. did you forget that street racing isn't JUST a moving violation??
it's criminal.. you do know that , that on a record can stop them from being in the armed forces(unless thats changed)
getting a job, and college..

"Who the f*ck do you think you are coming in here and basically calling people hypocrites"

calling a spade a spade thats all..
I remember what I was like.. there'd be no free people if we all got punished for the crap we did as teens,20 somethings..
so ya, I'm calling hypocrites

Then maybe the little bastards should've thought about that before acting like jackasses. After nine years, I can tell you how many kids showed up in the Army that had no reason to be there, and I can also tell you how many didn't get over it then and wound up leaving the planet early. Go ahead. Ask me about the kid who flipped his '97 Firebird nose-over-tail four times. Ask me about the one who laid down a bike at over 100mph wearing shorts, a t-shirt, and no helmet. Are you f*cking kidding me? You sincerely think for a second that'll help them?

why you buy a v8 mustang and not the v6?
track time only right.. or is it to tow a trailor?
I make no bones about it, I have a v8 because I like the feeling of speed and torque pushing me into the seat..
don't need it to drive on public roads.. I know it was the exhaust sound that sold you on a v8 over a v6

I guess not .... LOL

And that is my point .... I'm all for giving them a pass when the situation warrants it. But a serious, dangerous, potentially deadly situation needs to be dealt with differently. A big reason is this: the next time these kids comes down my street racing, running over sidewalks, and hit a child, I want the official record that they have done it before. I want their parents to ask why junior nrrds $450 for his allowance to pay a fine .... maybe they will pay attention then.

But I see your point, since the Sheriff dropped the ball, he is now fair game for a lawsuit, and since he put this under the school's authority, they will be as well .... Lord knows the parent shouldn't be accountable .....
