I do believe this might be a repost, still...

Last I checked, being a Muslim reflected one's religion, and to a large extent, culture.

But it is NOT a race.

We're getting so far from precision in our use of language, it's a shame.

Gives you an idea of what has happaned over here. The racist biot is easy - by law any offence that either party thinks is racist is declared racist. Panders to the paranoia of racial minorities who often think that anything that happens and they dont like is because they are being discriminated against.

But the real issue is police power. You challenge a policeman in any way, even just arguing something with him, and you are likely to be arrested and maybe jailed. There are so many new offences created that its easy to find something general to book you for.

As an example, people have been jailed and manhandled just for photographing a police officer.

Yeah...I got the idea his main offence was 'P*ssing Off a Police Officer'.

 

This is sooo three years ago...

 

Personal attack removed - review forum rules

I didn't know engines could speak or be used for racist commentary. :huh:

Sure, you COULD use a vehicle to run someone over or drag them... but it's much easier to simply arrest a person for, uh, impersonating a racial slur with an engine.

Mighty fine police work. May they all find what they're really seeking. :sad:

Response to personal attack removed.

Thats the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard and if your judges and politicians allow it over there then you've got a lot more screwed up than we do. I realize the popular thing now is reverse racism by claiming that every thing done is some how racist but comon. Either way nothing like this would ever stand up in NY. Quite simply stupid.

 

"Maybe because we are Muslim."

What an irresponsible and arrogant statement to make. If the image of Muslims wasnt already on the decline in that area, it certianly will be after making a stupid remark like that.

 

Sounds like someone needed an expert witness to say that Espirits must be revved to keep up the oil pressure... rotfl

And wow, display of acceleration? Why in the name of god is that a crime? There should be nothing illegal about going from 0 to the speed limit as fast as possible, as long as you are in control of the car and your wheels aren't squealing or smoking.

These horror stories make me sad

 

Looking at Virginia Laws, at the link below... I could not find a specific law about revving your engine, or excessive acceleration. The reckless driving laws all talk about controlling the vehicle... so spinning wheels is considered reckless.

LIS > Search > Code of Virginia

 

What else do you expect from a legal system that allows Sharia courts and parallel law systems? The powers-that-be have allowed Muslim immigrants to piss all over their country and culture for years now, all in the name of tolerance, diversity and multiculturalism. But votes are votes, right?

 

Reminds me of this classic UK comedy scetch with Rowan Atkinson (aka Mr Bean):-

Constable Savage (UK policeman) comedy scetch.


Savage: You wanted to see me, Sir?

Insp: Ah, Constable Savage... Come in, shut the door. Now then, Savage. I want to talk to you about some charges that you've been bringing lately. I think that perhaps you're being a little overzealous.

Savage: Which charges do you mean, Sir?

Insp: Well, for instance, this one: "Loitering with intent to use a pedestrian crossing." Savage, maybe you're not aware of this, but it is not illegal to use a pedestrian crossing, neither is "smelling of foreign food" an offence.

Savage: You sure, Sir?

Insp: Also, there is no law against "urinating in a public convienience" or "coughing without due care and attention."

Savage: If you say so, Sir...

Insp: Yes I do say so, Savage! Don't they teach you anything at training school? (Savage takes out his pen & notebook) Ta, ta, ta... No, put that away! Some of these cases are just plain stupid: "looking at me ina funny way"... Is this some kind of joke, Savage?

Savage: No, Sir!

Insp: And we have some more here: "walking on the cracks in the pavement", "walking in a loud shirt in a built up area during the hours of darkness" and "walking around with an offensive wife". In short, Savage, in the space of one month, you have brought 117 ridiculous trumped up and ludicrous charges.

Savage: Yes, Sir.

Insp: Against the same man, Savage...

Savage: Yes, Sir.

Insp: A Mr Winston Codogo of 55, Mercer Road.

Savage: Yes, Sir.

Insp: Sit down, Savage.

Savage: Yes, Sir.

Insp: Savage, why do you keep arresting this man?

Savage: He's a villain, Sir!

Insp: A villain?

Savage: And a jailbird, Sir.

Insp: I know he's a jailbird, Savage! He's down in the cells now. We're holding him on a charge of "posession of curly black hair and thick lips"!

Savage: Ah! Well there you are, Sir!

Insp: You arrested him, Savage!

Savage: Thank you, Sir!

Insp: Savage, would I be correct in assuming that Mr Codogo is a coloured gentleman?

Savage: Well I can't say I've ever noticed, Sir.

Insp: Stand up, Savage! Savage, you're a biggot. It's officers like you that give the police force a bad name. The press love to jump on incidents like this! And the reputation of the force can be permanently tarnished. Your whole time on duty is dominated by racial hatred and petty personal vendettas. Do you get some kind of perverted gratification from going around stirring up trouble?

Savage: Yes, Sir!

Insp: There's no room for men like you in my force, Savage. I'm transferring you to the SPG.

Savage: Thank you very much, Sir!

Insp: Now get out!

Savage: Sorry, Sir.

 

this kinda bo11ocks is one of the reasons I would never live in the uk again

 

There's stupidity in the legal systems on both sides of the pond... lest we forget the "millions for spilling hot coffee" incident!

 

He should've claimed to be a Muslim as well. How could they prove otherwise.

 

Terrorizing by revving the engine? Made me think of this Carrera GT video: YouTube - porsche carrera gt straight piped terrorizing downtown

 

Terrorizing by revving the engine? Made me think of this Carrera GT video:

rotfl Some people have way too much time and money on their hands...

 

OMG! What is the world coming to? Quick lock your kids, lol.

 

That revving video was gold. I think those guys are having great fun.


The legal system for the road is much more relaxed in the UK compared to the states. I don't think you can be jailed here for dangerous driving or speeding in any matter. I'm not even sure you get jailed for DUI! (Don't quote me on the last bit).

 

Soo whats next sexual harrasment for revving your engine near a woman? The problem isnt the law itself but the retards that enforce it. Given not all cops are bad some are cool and have sports cars of their own. Unfortunetly most seem to have a chip on their shoulder. That porsche vid made me laugh. That blond that jumped in the beginning was priceless. The thing that really bugs me is the fact that all these harleys drive around putting out much more dbs than a modifeid car yet everyone is all wow thats a nasty harley yet if your in a car its a nuisance. To take it even further are all the kids driving around with more money into their subwoofers than the actual car and blairing crap music up and down the street.

Well....

From: Albuquerque, New Mexico to Make Engine Revving a Crime

Revving your engine will soon be a crime punishable by a fine of up to $500 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Mayor Martin Chavez (D) proposed adding a blip of the throttle to the city ordinance listing "nuisances" that the city uses as a justification to seize automobiles. The city council is expected to vote on the idea next month.

"It shall be unlawful for any person to engage in exhibition driving in the Downtown Quiet Zone by operating a vehicle in a manner that willfully creates excessive engine noise because of revving the engine to magnify the engine noise," the proposed ordinance states.

The quiet zone is set up in a half-mile square encompassing the core of the downtown area, although a further amendment is expected to allow ticketing anywhere in the city. As written, the proposal allows fines of up to $500, imprisonment and car seizure as penalties. The city says it intends only to charge $100 for a first offense, $250 for a second and $500 for a third.

Source: Proposed Ordinance O-09-80 (City of Albuquerque, New Mexico, 6/22/2009)

 

Though I doubt the local Justices will see it this way, but it's tough to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused was "operating a vehicle in a manner that willfully creates excessive engine noise because of revving the engine to magnify the engine noise.

 

Obviously an extremely well-written law...totally open to interpretation.

 

That's just effing great. I get few real pleasures out of life and top of that short list was revving engines at Muslims. Now I can just cross that one off my list, too.

 

You are still welcome to fart in their general direction, though.
