Why does every kid think they are better than everyone else or they are above th law. Why do idiot teenagers think they can use a neighborhood as their own personal racetrack. I was in this neighborhood today doing some paperwork and this STUPID kid decided it wasn't necessary to stop at a stop sign. He thought he would make the turn at 18 mph. I stoppe him and found out he was flagged for street racing 3 days ago. He was also stopped for running 2 stop signs. He also was caught for tailgating. So me being the nice person I am I made his father come get him or he would go to jail. Obviously tickets weren't working. His car was impounded and his dad refused to get him. That made my day. But what is it with these kids. I am 21 and have never acted like this. These kids need to be slapped. Opinions please

not speaking for all kids but only the one you mentioned this kid might have problems at home. his parents might have problems at home which add to his problems. he might be into drugs and booze and hanging out with the wrong crowd. kids go through phases and need to learn alot on their own. it's a learning process and some people handle it better than others. the first time i ever drank was high school graduation. now i have made up for it since haha but most people i knew back then were drinking in 8th grade. i was home watching tv.

Ageed. But what why race aroud public streets. If this kid was stoned I wouldn't of known it because he was so stupid. I asked him if he honesty thinks he pos civic is fast. I have no mercy for morons. Especially moron kids. He told me that I was lucky he was in a neighborhood. I would like to of tased him. Idiot. But anyway I just needed to rant about idiots and share my exciting day.

racing seems to be all the rage. it's an immediate gratification society.

coming from having a history in street racing...*yea yea, i know...i'm bad* I can safely say my group of car friends and i have never done anything stupid like run stop signs or really done anything to put anyone else's life at risk...with the exception of 2 maybe 3 times over a course of 3 years...

The difference is though--we KNOW that with one false move, or one little bump in the road our car can go flying and we could die easily..it seems to me that people these days think that theyre they greatest drivers and nothing can happen to them. They dont understand that even the best of drivers can have an outside source mess them up...

I'm not too sure it answers your question-but it sounds to me like the kid basically thought he couldn't hurt anyone *incl. himself* by running a stop sign in his neighborhood...kids with civics *ricers* tend to be a tad bit on the stupid side..

take a cannister of NOS and ramm it up his arse.... How do ya like that you Fast and the Furious Jackass :D

Well now that I am on day shift I hang out by the areas that these kids do. When I catch them in a neighborhood I don't give them a chance. Stop signs are a big thing to me. If they can't stop at a stop sign they don't need to drive. I don't just single out kids. Anybody runs it, they get stopped. Maybe I don't just understand what the need is to think their cars are fast and they can use a public road as a racetrack. My theory is if I catch someone street racing you go to jail. If they speed thru traffic like they own that road they get points and a fat a$$ ticket. If they run a stop sign they get a ticket. When I say run a stop sign I mean they pull up to don't stop and realize no one is there and just keep driving. I am sure some of you have dopne it :D

ROFLLMAO. I will have to buy some ky :D

I'm 23 and I'm still acting like this! Actually, it's mostly because I suck at the driving and I'm still learning the manual thing. Anyway, the kid just has a problem with authority. What you need to do is scare the piss outta him. You're a cop, you can plant drugs in his car! Pull him over for a minor traffic violation and bust him on possession! Hooray! :D

the kid probably never got any discipline at home when he was growing up and feels like he can do whatever he wants...I have a friend who when he was little never got in trouble for anything, and even if he got grounded came back outside in 10-20 mins. He drives like that all the time

You gotta be so annoyingly persistent about it, that they do try you. Then you can go to town on them. Always give tickets at the max cost, get them on as many moving violations as the can, make them accumulate points and raise their insurance. They should learn how to respect others around them and drive safe.

Maybe you can take the A-holes to the impound yard to see wrecks (T-Bones preferred) and say that car belong to a mother of three that was hit by a kid running a stop sign? A trip to the morgue to see the result of a bad car accident? But on the other hand stupid people generate billions of dollars in revenue and jobs for the rest of us. How many cops and court personal would be laid off if there weren’t any stupid people?

That would be ideal. But I would have to convince one of them to go with me or just send one to jail some it and try to convince the judge to do it as remediation. I love stupid people. It puts comedy in my job :D

I don't give a crap if their Mommy and Daddy didn't show them enough affection. They are cognisant individuals and if they want to drive, they have to obey the traffic laws intended to protect all drivers.

Your best bet is a zero tolerance policy. Examples: not using turn signals, speeding (in MO you can get a ticket for 1mph over), expired plates/inspection sticker, failure to carry driver's license/registration card/proof of insurance, failure to sign registration card or wreckless driving by manner.

Isn't this what driving school is for? In some states, if you get a ticket, you can go to driving school and it won't go on your record. I got my license on my second try at the driving test. The first one I flunked because I didn't come to a complete stop. Sounds like the kid needs a ticket, and needs to be sent to driving school, so he can learn how to drive. Then again, sometimes they never learn.

I see the Stop Sign running frequently in CO. It really makes me just shake my head from side to side when folks thing that a Stop Sign means, be careful but keep going anyway. My son has a Monte Carol Jeff Gordan car with all the sports stuff on it. He babied that car. Then one night as they pulled up to their townhouse and parked the car next to a wooden fence. While they were getting out with kids still strapped in the back seat, along came this new pickup full of teens up a hill, crashed through the fense, broke two large wooden beams and went air borne and then clipped the rear of their new car!!! Dirt and debrie everywhere. Had that happened a few mins later or the truck hit their car slightly more to the right side there would have been people injured. The truck went up and over the Monte but clipped some of the rear and then the truck landed on the other side of the Monte upright. My son went to the driver (a kid) and he had both hands on the wheel in a state of shock. What were they doing?? Street racing!!!! Now how did the kid lose control and make a right turn on a straight road, went through a small tree, up a small hill, into a wooden fence? He told the cops he was cut off and he was going the speed limit. The cop interviewing him went to the side to have a good laugh. So his insurance company paid for that big time, about $6,000 in car damage and unknown what the truck cost to fix. All for street racing!! Stupid? yes it is. Street racing is just plain dumb and kids never think what the possible outcome could be such as death to a driver and the passengers. All for just the feeling to race? That's a big cost. I can understand how a cop would feel about running stop signs and street racing. In CO we have had this year I think about 7 or so accidents where teens were either racing or ran so fast they lost control. Lots of these are from kids who just received their drivers license. Where on the drivers license does it state that a license is the authority to race on the streets? Messed up kids and messed up families. It is almost comparison to those kids that made pipe bombs and weapons in their home right under the noses of their parents? Parents would not go in their rooms to look around or even to clean. That resulted in the deaths of students and one teacher. So yes its a combination of issues with kids and issues with parents. What a shame any of this happens. Can this be prevented? I think so with some education to students. The police here have taken some of these totalled death cars to the high schools to give a few pointers about the danger of street racing and running stop signs. Has it done any good? Don't know because the accidents still happen.

I believe the parents are to blame in these situations. The golden rule has to be, "Don’t allow your child to get a fast car." Young kids, with fast cars (or cars perceived as fast) will race them. The problem is that there are very few cars that can’t be tuned, so just about everyone is getting into the act. If you’re a parent do your kid a favor and get him a Prius, or an Insite, I don’t think anyone can make these fast. If you can’t get a “slow car” then get one of the ECU devices that track driver’s habits. If they are driving to fast, take the car away.

Realizing most parents are not willing to do this, the task falls upon the municipalities to curb the problem. For them, the formula is pretty simple; write the guy so many tickets that t he judge will yank his license on the spot. Make sure the cops always go to court and the prosecutor is not cutting any deals. Once the license is gone they can live dangerously on a 10 speed.

With all the tickets you described I was surprised he still he still had a drivers license. Additionally, don’t most jurisdictions take people’s cars when they get caught street racing, that would probably fix him good.

omg i swear a cop did that to me and my friends!! we're in front of this kids house, in the car rolling a dutch. we threw out the empty bag and started smoking. we finish the dutch and we see lights flashing and were like "oh shit" i swallowed the end of the dutch and i thought were set. the cops made us step out of the car we were handcuffed and searched. the cop asked where the weed was, we told him that we didnt have any. they said they smelled it ect... they're talking to us all seperatly and then cops are trying to lie to us saying one of my friend said there was weed but he never said that and were still denying it. then they found a bag of SEEDS in the car. and were all like WTF?!?!? were flipping out and accusing the cops because who the hell keeps a bag of seeds? and trust me none of my friends would ever even have a bag of seeds let alone a WHOLE BAG OF IT. there wasnt even weed in it! (like LITTLE BITS, so small you can't even smoke it or anything) so because of that we got screwed. we ended up having to go to the station and so on...

police34, I bet this kid is glad he does not live in your area! But, I for one am not! -- just glad I don't live in Woodbridge area...LOL

A cry for help. He wants to get into trouble.

If not a cry for help, maybe a cry for attention to fit in with their friends. Some parents will believe anything their child tells them. My neighbor has a son that was bad, always trying to be cool with his friends and break the law. His mother always bailed him out of trouble, but when he got busted and spent the night in jail for failure to appear, mommie could not get him out of that. Like most punks when he went to jail, he cried like a baby to no avail. It calmed him down a little and at least he hasn't been back to jail. Her daughter is following in her brothers foot steps. No matter what someone tells her, she believes her daughter and not the person that told her. She has found pot in her daughters room and in the pocket of her clothes and everytime she confronts her daughter she says it is not hers. Yeah right! Some parents need to wake the F up. Her daughter tells her that she has smoked pot but will never do it again and everytime the mother believes. So from a childs perspective if nothing will happen to you when you break the law, why stop. Especially if your friends think it is cool. Dumbass people. But you and I know that one day it will catch up with them.

Yeah you're right WildOne. Hey Foxman I couldn't bring up that page. But I understand what you mean. Probably some idiot just trying to be cool. It's fun when punk kids think they are cool and they get pulled over by someone around their own age. I love it. One day I will have to call a mother and tell her her stupid a$$ son has been killed for his own stupidity. I know it's sad but I have no mercy for these kids. They choose to do it. It's their own fault.

MY RANT-I whole heartedly agree about kids who think they are above the law is plain wrong(Guess you can't stop immaturity until it matures)

But why do most cops think they are above the law? Besides the select few who genuinely become cops to help society become a better place. I am pretty much convinced most cops are exactly like what KUMAR in "harold and kumar go to white castle" says.

What happened to the good old days when cops were looked upon with great civil duty and service. Now they walk into every place like they own it-power trippin !@#@!@$!$#.

So far most cops I've bumped into have such a negative energy. I mean yes...there job can be dangerous but they're not in war like iraq where they should be constantly alert, cautious, and doubtful.

What happened to the officers that pull you over and say
"sir, do you know how fast you were going?"
-I'm not sure officer. How fast was I going officer?"
"20 over the speed limit...you need to slow down."
-yes sir
"I'll be right back."
and then you get your ticket. With respect...and treating me like an adult, not a kid.

Now it's consitantly I'm more superior then you because I have a gun in my holdster...you bow down to me. I can give you attitude...because I'm a cop and I won't get in trouble because I'm not gonna commit a rodney king act(which was also wrong on the part of the media not to present the other side of the tape of rodney king going lunatic and attacking the officers).

Officers today-
"do you know how fast you were going?"
-I'm not sure officer. How fast was I going?
"You're not sure?"(sarcasm-or the above attitude) You don't know how fast you were going? 20!" then just walks away.

The way I look at it...it's like good customer service. And right now cops these days don't have this quality they've brought on a new quality...arrogance.

And I'm paying for service and arrogance...I rather go to a different restaurant wait I can't they're all practically the same.

MY RANT-I whole heartedly agree about kids who think they are above the law is plain wrong(Guess you can't stop immaturity until it matures)
Wrong some laws are just plain stupid, and there just to generate revenue for the various townships that issue tickets.

I think i was someone on here that said 50% of a local government’s revenue comes from traffic violations. That’s absurd! If the law was really there for the simple purpose of "protect and serve" then there wouldn't be ticket quotas for officers.
Yeah i know they are illegal in most state, but don't deny that they exist, because if you go one month without issuing a single moving violation ticket, sarge isn't going to be happy.

For example: what purpose does issuing a ticket for not having a front plate on your car serve (illegal in NJ), the car maybe stolen..... BS!, look if it has a rear plate and run that.

Example2 : issuing ticket for speeding 1-5mph over the speed limit (possible in NJ), once again BS radar guns are accurate to +/- 3mph your only doing it because A)young kid in "fast" car or B)you need to generate more revenue.

Next why issue FOP/PBA, fraternal order of police etc.. cards. Just because someone knows a cop they shouldn't get a ticket now? I'm not against these, just making an argument, feel free to send me as many as you see fit. Also on this topic cops feel they are above the law (don’t lie police34), free to speed 20-30mph in excess because they could get out of it if stopped.

Everyone including cops know it’s a corrupt system it is there to generate money and only in cases such as police34 describe "protected and serve".

For example: what purpose does issuing a ticket for not having a front plate on your car serve (illegal in NJ),

How many people would disobey that law if it wasn't enforced?

How many people would disobey that law if it wasn't enforced? A lot, but then ask yourself whats the purpose of enforcing a law that doesn't make sence.....

Im not alone here only 4 or 5 states require front plates so at least someplaces are catching on.

A lot, but then ask yourself whats the purpose of enforcing a law that doesn't make sence.....

Because it's the law. It's not for the cops to decide which laws to enforce.

I see no point in requiring a front plate and think that such laws should be repealed, but until then....

It's not for the cops to decide which laws to enforce. Sure it is. Think about it, it’s up to the cop to decide whether or not he wants to give you a ticket for going 4mph over the speed limit. You’re breaking the law, but if that cop understands what Kohlberg’s(sp.) defines as morality then he's not going to give you a ticket for it because its senseless. Just like not every cop will not stop you when they see you don’t have a front place, they are the final decision makers when it comes to what to enforce and what not too.

You're absolutely correct. I still say that we repeal stupid laws thru the legislature and remove cops from the equation.

Well not all cops have to enforce stupid little laws. Yes there are a bunch. Those laws that are stupid are just a bunch of state legislatures sitting in an office for 3 weeks out of the year and pass those laws because they have nothing better to do. Then you have city(municipal) and county ordinances that are set by each department. Which those are set because of prior instances. But I agree with Polak and others. Some can be really dumb. I am a very laid back person. Someone can cuss me out while I am diving them a ticket and I will just say have a nice day. It depends on the location of the department what the officer attitude will be. If someone deals with a$$holes all day then thye will tend to act the same. Every job has it's days.

This kind of behaviour in the kiddie generation can be expalined by two words.....

Video Games.

Games like the Gran Turismo series and other street racing games. The play these games and emulate what they do on the screen. Have you ever seen a car in one of these games stop for a stop sign? I never have.

They act like they're in one big video game, the world is their oyster! And they wonder why their car insurance is so damn high!! A total lack of responsibility on their part.

Gran Turismo is not a street racing game, all you can drive on are race tracks.

What would you blame inappropriate driving on before video games? Driving fast on the street, testing your machine, and racing others has been around even before cars were even invented (drag racing comes from racing horses dragging sleds behind them).

It is my opinion that video games have little if any affect at all on street racing, if anything The Fast and the Furious has played a bigger part in dangerous driving on the road than video games. The fact is entertainment is modelled after culture, video games about street racing are made because its exciting, people don't play them to get brainwashed into going out and street racing, they play them to simulate driving a car fast without the risks or breaking laws.

Anyone who blames their dangerous behavior in real life on video games needs psychiatric help. Its just common sense not to do illegal things.

Street racing has been around for decades, I think what needs to be done to stop reckless driving is to provide easily accessible methods to enjoy racing in a controlled environment, education on proper driving techniques, and good law enforcement.

O dear God please don't tell me you one of those parents that blame everything on video games. I thought only soccer moms did this.

Not trying to attack you but video games aren't the source of this, that like saying people dont kill people guns kill people it makes no sense!

If you can blame it on any one thing, which you can't, it'd be testosterone, teenagers produce it in quarts and if you don't have enough common sense to control it your going to do stupid shit.

Thats like saying the crime and murder rates have gone up since first person shooter games and grand theft auto style games have come out. Not that anyone really listens to them, but at the beginning of BOTH Gran Tourismo(a closed track only game) AND Need For Speed Underground have a disclaimer that tells people to drive safe and obey traffic laws in real life.

Video games are an entertainment medium. They are both a stress reliever and a means of pleasure(adrenaline/fun). People who cannot differentiate real life from video games need to earn themselves a Darwin Award.

See now this is a cop I'd love to be pulled over by...seems like you're the type of officer that is bigger then stupidity and ignorance. A cop willing to shun away even when an @ss cusses can show and treat an average person with dignity and respect. You could abuse your powers by giving him more tickets (And I if I were a cop I would too) but you choose not to.

All I'm saying is common courtesy from officers is really depreciating especially when you're the one NOT cussing or giving an attitude.

-obviously I'm very passionaite about this because of an incident that happened to me.

Well it is a documented fact in court cases that there are a few kids have done things based on stuff they got from video and or role playing games. It causes them to develop a superiority complex that causes them to do things that a normal sane adult would never think of doing. Remember the murder case where the people were acting out a dungeons and dragon game. Although not video based it was something that the kids related to and will try to act out the fantasy. Maybe GT4 was a bad example but there are games out there that these young people are playing that is putting ideas in their heads that lead to possilble future behaviour.

Some kids do things from what they see on video games. I think from the kids I have pulled over, they are just stupid and think they are above the law. Not every kid that plays a video game repeats what they played. It's not always the parents fault either. Like I have said before, I have no mercy for any kid street racing, speeding through traffic or running stop signs because they feel like they don't have to stop. It's now a matter of what everyone else is doing. The majority of these idiots are no longer leaders but rather immature followers. So I guess what I am saying is that video games aren't the cause of everything. I think society just finds one source and attacks what is easy. It also goes back to marketing. These companies put these ideas into their heads. These kids just need to realize what can happen. If they don't then oh well one less kid To kill someone else. It's sad to see it that way but it's the only way.

Why does every kid think they are better than everyone else or they are above th law. Why do idiot teenagers think they can use a neighborhood as their own personal racetrack. I was in this neighborhood today doing some paperwork and this STUPID kid decided it wasn't necessary to stop at a stop sign. He thought he would make the turn at 18 mph. I stoppe him and found out he was flagged for street racing 3 days ago. He was also stopped for running 2 stop signs. He also was caught for tailgating. So me being the nice person I am I made his father come get him or he would go to jail. Obviously tickets weren't working. His car was impounded and his dad refused to get him. That made my day. But what is it with these kids. I am 21 and have never acted like this. These kids need to be slapped. Opinions please
You need to live and let live. Every one needs to stop playing God and being all stressed out over kids these days. I have had more run-ins with f***ed up adults then kids on the road. Here in the state of Nevada the majority of street accident's are caused by guys in the age range from 30-50. Thats bad and to top it all off Nevada was just ranked the highest pedestrian fatality in the nation. Now thats wrong. Las Wednesday some guy was drunk doing 90+mph in his Corvette and went through a inter section that has two dips when his under carriage scraped twice while passing through the inter section he lost control and went onto the opposite side of traffic then went into a brick wall caught air and rolled it. He was not hurt. He was in his 30's and was dui.
Now at the same time three girls stole a car and when a cop tried to pull them over they started to speed off then went through a red light crashed with another car and rolled the stolen car. The tow where 15 and the passenger was 13 and she was critically injured.

So to me its 50/50. My2cents...

You are right it is 50/50. But soon 50/50 leads to just about all kids and all adults taking the streets as their own peronal race track. Here it might be a little different than Nevada. I don't know. There are stupid adults on the roads but it seems kids between 17 and 20 are the biggest targets for this act. There are a lot of idiots that feel the need to speed, run stop signs, and redlights. When I see them I confront them and ask what the problem is. If they can't give a reasonable explanation why they are doing that then they will be ticketed. I am very leniant most of the time. But it's some people that just don't care.

Well you know what... Its good to know people like you have a job like that... Keep up the good work.

The actual act of street racing isn't stupid...it's how/where it is done. If you're dumb enough to do it on a highly populated road where you are putting tons of others lives at risk, then it's stupid...but the act of racing it's self--holds no real stupidty....
