Anyone been geiing harassed down at Porkeys by the cops lately way more then usual? I was down there a few weeks ago and the cops pushed a guy walking to his car down to the ground and pulled the tazer on him, didnt shoot it though. I also had herd from people that they towed away a Z06 for having too loud of exhaust and no front plate.
If anyone else is having problems down there let us know.

Ya thats where we have been going too. You think that the police had something to do with talking the porkeys into getting everyone out of there after closing?

That ZO6 shouldnt be complaining. The ricers get harrassed more often. It's about time they treat the imports and domestic fairly.

I was down there a couple weeks ago in my car. A cop pulls behind me after im in the turn lane about to make a U turn right by Porkys. He makes one right behind me then pulls up next to me. I looked at him then we went up a little then he slamed on him brakes and swerved into me. He would have hit me if I wasnt on the shoulder turning into porkys. I was SOO PISSED!
Then 2 weeks before that I got pulled over for no front plate.
And just a week before my first event I saw a tow trunk at the wendys on uni down the road from porkys.
And I think most people now know about what happend at porkys that one night at like 2 in the moring. Couple kids got pushed around by the cops and everyone got yelled at for being there.
IMO University is getting realy Ghey because of that stuff. Im afraid to bring my car down there and drive it or even leave it parked somewhere unattended. It really limits the people you see and the fun you may have.

kinda, but you just move things around. All the cops are doing is pissing people off, and ruining otherwise pretty safe meetings. In this case, that's what will cause something to go wrong.

It's just people don't get the hint. They don't want that scene down there. They are tired of it and some people just don't get it. Last I heard is when/if the lightrail gets going/approve to run to St Paul as well and go along Uni there that whole fucking area will get a BIG facelift.
People just need to find another place to hang out. Go to another town/burb and cruise without doign stupid shit and maybe it will last a bit longer. Running around anywhere in the cities with realy fucking loud exhaust or no front plate is just asking for a ticket and for a close eye to be on you, no fault but the car's owner.

Yeah, that was Corey that got pushed into the bench. Last I heard he didn't file a report on it.

This may be true, may not be. But what they have to realize is people are going to be doing it somewhere. Pushing it around the cities/burbs won't do anything but piss off auto enthusiasts. What they need to do is organize a street legal type deal like they have in San Diego. Obviously this won't take care of everyone, as racing on the street is much more exciting in my opinion. Not knowing if you're going to jail or what's going to happen. What needs to happen is the scene needs to be controlled, not harrassed.

i dont think the world would be a great place if they let loose those muscle cars doing burnouts all over the place. Because what would the DSM's do? we cant do standstills...
