Re: Butch Thompson's Nova
It looks like there's something more than safety at issue here. When the police impound a car, they have the right to do a cursory search of the car to protect themselves. They may even be doing something as simple as walking a drug-sniffing dog around the car to see if the dog will react. If the dog does react, that gives them probable cause to do to tear the car apart.
This won't last long, because the ACLU or the Southern Poverty Law Center will sue Cincy and claim this is another form of profiling. It is also correct that the law is very vague and and absent any indication the car may be unsafe other than the big wheels, it adds up to BS. Now, if the car is lop sided or going down the road sideways or the wheels shimmy, well that's unsafe w/o even considering the wheels.
This doesn't quite pass the smell test. And it certainly could evolve into other obvious aftermarket car items that just might have a cintilla of a chance of being unsafe. We should all be concerned about this sort of SS Hitleresk style of behavior by law enforcement personnel.

Agree.
Sorry to hijack your thread Butch.
Maybe the admin can move these couple posts into it's own thread. This is something to keep an eye on.

This is an extremely troubling statment. I am going to make sure to keep Roller Coaster on the south side of the Idiot Ditch for awhile.
