Attorney general says he can seize street-racing cars without laying charges

TORONTO (CP) - The government has the power to seize and destroy cars that have been adapted for street racing, and can do so before a race takes place or any charges are laid, Ontario Attorney General Michael Bryant said Wednesday.

Car junkies who pour thousands of dollars into their vehicles to make them as fast as possible are wasting their money, Bryant said. He warned potential racers that all it takes is a tip from police to seize and destroy their cars.

"If we can establish someone has parts and they're juicing up their car - obviously for the purpose of street racing - then we can seize those vehicles," Bryant said.

"We will seize it and you will never see it again. We will crush your car, we will crush the parts."

Bryant said cars built for street racing are as dangerous as explosives and can cause catastrophic damage.

On Monday, a truck driver was killed after a crash on Highway 400 that was blamed on speed and dangerous driving.

Prabhjit Multani, 20, and Nauman Nusrat, 19, face charges including dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death, criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing death by street racing.

Ravi Badhwar, 20, has been charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.

"This was a senseless act that cost a man his life and has left his family without a father, brother and grandfather," Ontario Provincial Police Commissioner Julian Fantino said in a release.

"There is no excuse for street racing and aggressive driving, such as the high speeds and unsafe lane changes we have seen recently."

The crash was the third major accident in four days on the busy north-south highway, and the second fatal one.

Bryant said the government has had enough of street racers, and will have no qualms about destroying their cars.

"We don't need to wait until that car hits the road fully loaded," he said.

Bryant also said the Crown has not yet decided whether to appeal the sentences of two young Toronto men who pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing death after a taxi driver was killed in a crash.

Wang-Piao Dumani Ross and Alexander Ryazanov, both 20, were each handed two-year conditional sentences and two years of probation for their role in the January 2006 crash.

Their lawyers said they weren't racing, although their speeding did constitute dangerous driving.

Close. But not as far reaching as Kanadia

Police need a court order to destroy the cars. They must prove that the serial or identification numbers on a vehicle or its parts are removed, altered or destroyed.

HOLY FUCK VIRGINIA TOO!?!

link of doom

new traffic laws as of july 1st

Driving as little as 15 MPH over the limit on an interstate highway now brings six license demerit points, a fine of up to $2500, up to one year in jail, and a new mandatory $1050 tax. The law also imposes an additional annual fee of up to $100 if a prior conviction leaves the motorist with a balance of eight demerit points, plus $75 for each additional point (up to $700 a year). The conviction in this example remains on the record for five years.

not crushing but damn near as bad

 

[Clueless]

HOLY FUCK

that's hprue shit

 

[supraman7mgte]

i wonder what they consider "hopped up".
would just a nice set of rims make them suspect your car? tint? all those sponsor stickers on the fender?

 

[Ric]

Driving on PUBLIC roads is a privilege. If you don't like the laws, make your own roads.

 

[ForcedTorque]

There's still time Canadian racers...............Sell off your parts cheaply now before they become totally worthless

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

just one more reason for us to still mod our cars. if we let them take away our rights now, how much better will it be down the road?
These fucking pigs need to get better things to do then target us...
speaking of which, i'm pretty sure that all the local tuners are going to go to the press about this, it is getting out of hand...

 

[Zazzn]

I can assure you that law will be hard to enforce and rarely used.

It's to hard to justify specific performance parts. If the cars where sized there will be some nasty court cases.

For instance no power mods are visable aside form exhaust.

I may have a better ignition setup for more fuel milage, a exhaust system for better fuel milage or because i like the sound...
I have a giant turbo to stay out of boost so fuel econ ect...

anyways, regardless so much for innocent until proven gility

 

[Jayhall]

im moving to norway or somthing. Im not a political wise guy, but im pretty sure when the Ontario Attorny General makes a law, its only for Ontario. Not BC.... yet. This sucks ass. Our right are being taken away.
