Has anyone heard the recent news reguarding street racing in Florida? It seems that now not only are people arrested for the act itself, but they are now being arrested just for watching!!!
In my opinion, this hardly seems like expected behavior from a democratic government. Penalties for being involved in a dangerous act are one thing, but arresting people becuase they have chosen to walk down the sidewalk and view the nightly activities is ridiculous! Whether its dangerous being within 500 feet of this type of activity or not, I am highly against the notion of punishing innocent bystanders.
Perhaps the media is simply blowing this out of proportion and its not exactly like it sounds? What are your opinions?
