West Coast Laws, Daddy took the 6G away... Options

[Lexicon_Devil]

I don't mean any disrespect to you west coast 6GC'ers out there,
but the more I read about your George Orwellian regulations on
that side of the country, the more I'm I sit here in disbelief.

I mean, California brought us the-ever-memorable Surfin' USA,
The acid soaked Hippie Movement - Tune in - Turn On - Drop Out,
and every other laid-back, pot laced theme you could think of.
Yet, you can't do anything with your car or they'll take it away?

I was just reading this story online (with photos) of dudes who had
their cars taken away and crushed by "the man". Needless to say,
they were Toyotas and Hondas. Dudes who were doing, say, 20
over the speed limit and were deemed "street racers"...

Dude, if that was happening near Detroit, you'd just hear assault
rifles and see the National Guard coming in. It'd make the '67
riots look like a practice round. Every Hillbilly in the land would
be taking to the streets like road warrior. With giant stickers that
said "MODDED" plastered on their cars.

As much as I'm a history buff, I'm clueless as to how this took
root..and who allowed it to happen. It's so over-the-top, I can't
even wrap my head around it.

Somebody fill me in.

You know - I used to think all the good ole boys driving around Houston with the gunrack and shotgun in the backwindow of their pickup trucks would shut down that stupid law in ahurry if it ever came here [I do regular business in upstate NY so I saw it coming] - suddenly I see no more shotguns in pickup truck windows anymore and here we are wondering if it's gonna be our cars next, and then our lawns, and then our homes.
And then we got a law passed for 10 traffic cameras for "dangerous" intersections - next thing I know they are fcukin everywhere, on every intersection, on freaking 50ft poles pointing in 4 directions and I'm wondering exactly how much can they see now? I called that one too.
I agree with anti street racing laws but our liberties are being jacked and we're doing nothing to stop it. I'm personally ashamed to be compliant.
