Should be more. I vote for special impound fees for 'street takeover' participants: $300 per day.

^^ My guess is that would make for a lot of undercover cars.

I worked with Ron a few times over the years, this guy is a legend. Last of a dying breed, old school but well loved by those who work with him. 23 Division Superintendent Ron Taverner has completed an incredible 51 years of service with the Toronto Police Service. He is still going strong and I am sure we will never see another like him.

By the time I arrived there were three BMW's parked along the west curb line. They were doing a photo shoot. I didn't catch anybody racing.

Boo. Good news (also very bad news) is that the idiots will inevitably do it again. You'll have plenty more chances to catch 'em.

So true!


I did end up with another DUI arrest last night though. The driver was passed out in the middle of the street in the #2 eastbound lane.

Damn! I’ve seen videos of it on YouTube, but how do you get so drunk that you pass out while driving?

I've never been intoxicated to that level, so your guess is as good as mine.

Another question is how do you get that drunk and no one around you considers you shouldn't be driving?

His friends set him up.
Video proof begins at 1:03 - 1:20.

They are probably equally intoxicated and unable to execute good judgment. Lol!

Time for a social experiment. Let’s get Sedan_Clan that intoxicated! What bar we meeting at? Haha.

Happens too frequently.

On this particular industrial street in my patrol area, it is a problem area for drag racing. It's the same street with the prepped surface I posted a photo of a few weeks ago. It's a non-residential business/industrial area and it's the truckers who call in the racers. It's not a street you'd frequent unless you are a street racer/takeover participant (…and it's certainly not a photo shoot worthy location). The entire surface area is full of acceleration and yaw skid marks from drag racing and donuts. The culprits were just done doing their thing before I arrived (….maybe not the three BMW drivers I contacted, per se, but whoever else was there).

Haha! You have to wear the BMW ///M driving gloves though. The steering wheel is alcantara.
