Peter seems to be closer to the truth this time. Seems very little if any evidence, probably just witness of the police. A good lawyer can easily shatter the police's words. At least it will be tough to proof concretely in court that every single one of the 13 vehicles had clear wrong-doings. A lot of it is just 'bling car + kids is a sin in itself' type of mentality, which in a way is just wrong. They have rich parents, that's not a sin. Given the opportunity many people would do it themselves (get a bling car) esp if at that same age.

Supt. Norm Gaumont, RCMP officer in charge of traffic enforcement for the Lower Mainland, said their penalty would have been much stiffer had they been caught on video, radar, or if a police officer had seen them racing.

"I know there's a lot of disappointment, wondering why we only charged them with an offence of $196. They fact of the matter is, we have to look at all the evidence we have and what we're able to prove," he said. "That's why we've charged them with driving without due consideration for the public."


That said, I am not condoning doing stupid things on the road. I am usually one of, if not THE slowest driver on the road LOL... (gas cost is friggin too much for me....).

Again, they are being picked on not solely because they are Chinese immigrants. More because of the price of the car, and rich jealousy. Crazy rich Chinese immigrants whose at the root of driving out local home buyers is even easier to target and exaggerate when any fault at all is found. Media and public attenttion will definately be different if these are not rich chinese immigrants, but white kids in beaters going 200km which is actually more dangerous.

All kinds of kids abuse their driving rights. I bet you (a penny LOL) half the male drivers here, and maybe a quarter of female drivers here, have had went 100% above the speed limit at one point in their youthful years. Driving 200k on the hwy is basically that, and they have probably some of the safest car money can buy to carry this speed.

Chinese is definately NOT the focus. It's hard to say whether it contributed tho. Rich jealousy is the root.
