They do have to the authority to seize property though…

[@johngotti123]

How is this an unlawful search? The officer saw both cars and had suspicion beyond a reasonable doubt that they were speeding/street racing. If you are arrested then they can impound, seize, and book all of your property into evidence. Chain of custody? what does that have to do with street racing? that is when you process evidence, they take pictures of the car/property.

A cop can take your phone/camera in Cali whenever they want. Always use your lockscreen so they have to get a warrant.

Unfortunately I wouldn't call it easy. He can fight it and try to get it knocked down to a lesser charge, but I had a similar situation in Georgia. The state will just claim that it was obvious they were racing and there's nothing you can do to prove you weren't racing, or in my case "reckless driving and street racing" when it was just 3 cars speeding at a constant speed on an empty highway. The cops can say basically anything they want and unless you have proof otherwise, or lots of money to drag out the fight, it's not easy. I only managed to get the street racing taken off and had to plea no-lo to reckless, but the state wasn't going to drop it to a speeding fine.

[@dcsteve7869]

Got to love that state. You can mob assault people, shoplift with impunity, rob people, and shit on the sidewalk and not face any consequences but don't dare do anything even remotely out of line in a car or they'll put you in a cell and throw away the key.

Hey Gordon, been watching your vids for quite a while now and I was really doubtful about that officer who arrested you. Now I'm no lawyer and neither do I live in Cali, but a quick Google about Cali laws tells me this officer is bs. Let me establish what I have observed based on the video: 1. Never tell the officer anything, you have the right to remain silent and lawyer up. Anything you say can be used against you in the situation. You can be cooperative but never compromise yourself. 2. He was looking for ways to justify his decision to make his arrest before arresting you. He was looking for video evidence of you alleged "Street racing". He did not inform you on how he arrived at the decision of you "Street racing" shows that he does have any hold on you. Did he observe reckless driving/speeding and measured the speed with a radar gun? 3. He definitely does not have the right to seize your vehicle. An officer must obtain a warrant OR be under one of these exceptions: Searches/seizures done with someone’s voluntary consent; Searches/seizures incident to a lawful arrest, where the police are looking either for weapons that might be used against them or for criminal evidence that might otherwise be destroyed; Inspection searches, such as those at international borders; Searches of vehicles when police have “probable cause” to believe the vehicle contains evidence about a crime (this is known as the “automobile exception” to the warrant requirement); Searches of obviously incriminating items that are in “plain view” while law enforcement is conducting an otherwise lawful search; Searches/seizures in emergency situations that are necessary to prevent physical harm or serious property damage, or to locate a fleeing suspect; The “stop and frisk” of a criminal suspect (that is, a search of his/her outer clothing) while s/he is being temporarily detained (this is sometimes referred to as a “Terry stop”), to look for weapons that might be used against an officer;and Searches in situations where individuals have no reasonable expectation of privacy. Like I've said, I'm writing this based off your video. Of course, there are two sides to a coin. Hope you're safe buddy. #freeMrSheep

He should of taken the Prius. Cops out there are on “arrest on sight” if the car is loud even if they are not speeding. It’s so stupid but he definitely knew it might happen. The city or town had complained about the noise for the last couple of years now due to all the fuckboys and takeover type. Now everyone with a loud exhaust or tinted car with any type of mods are suffering the consequences. I hope he gets his car back and clears his record with a lawyer.

At what point in history did cops go from being a respectable person who you trusted and really felt safe and secure around to be a complete waste of a human being who seems only interested in harassing generally law abiding, cooperative, respectful and polite citizens who may stretch the letter of the law at times? If he was really motivated by public interest he could've simply given them warnings and I'm sure it would've had the same affect. Instead this cop turns an innocent rev into a federal case. Sure is safer arresting innocent people than going after actual criminals who are a real threat to society. Good job cop, you've really made the world a safer place. Thank you for your brave work.

I had a similar situation happen to me. I was racing in my Evo at the time. I got clocked going 120 on a 45. Cop pulled me over and the first thing he said is I can take you to jail right now. I knew I was in deep shit. The cop didn’t take me to jail but gave me a ticket to appear in court. I lawyer up and they couldn’t proof I was racing because they never pulled over the second car. He never gave me a ticket for speeding just racing. So I got the charges dropped. But it’s Florida things are way more lenient than Cali.

That Gamballa Mirage GT was purchased from a dealer here in western Germany (Cologne). Still remember when it was for sale a few months ago. It was around 670.000€ (790.000$).

The car was bought from it owner in Monaco for way more than that.

[@JustinsSupercars]

@@nkeet89 As far as we know there is only one dark blue Mirage GT with orange accents out there. So it is definitely the car. You can check out the dealerships Instagram page @ amiancars but it’s a bit further down on their page. The car was once registered in Monaco yes. But was sold in Germany. The car was much cheaper because this was originally the Orange on orange Mirage GT that was crashed many years ago. It was rebuilt and painted dark blue.

Don't want to get arrested and have your shit impounded, don't break the law. It's pretty simple. I've been a car guy all my life, but the way the car community has acted as if they are above the law is why cops are cracking down. We did this to ourselves.
