About the Drag Racing incident...

[SixStringSeal]

Lets be real here... I fully understand the concerns related to Jones behavior and his string of run-ins with the law here in Albuquerque where I live.

But this last incident... I really just don't get it. I don't think it's all that big of a deal. I watched the video and the police officer never tracked his speed so essentially Jones was arrested for accelerating his car too quickly. I get that the law is the law but that really just doesn't bother me and doesn't make me feel like he's spiraling out of control or anything.

And the police officer in the video was pretty disrespectful to Jones as well. The aggression went both ways.

Thoughts?

The laws the law and Jones broke it when excessive acceleration and got tagged. Just like getting a speeding ticket.


Would you be happier if he got let off and then people would say famous people always get away with stuff?

this one has been hashed over pretty much
but yah
the cop was a dick
and yeah Jon probably revved his engine
and was talking back to the cop


get a driver Jon

They both had theyre moments there meaning jones and the cop.

The thing is with jon already being on probation for driving incidents he needs to be in a prius wearing fucking glasses driving thru Albuquerque. He lost his ability to screw around when he hit and ran a pregnant woman. He shouldnt be behind the wheel of a vet. He will get busted for anything at this point. And thing is he put himself in this position.

i think sherdog needs more threads on this topic, thanks

you left out the part where the cop says he was doing the speed limit and jones was pulling away. could you start a new thread and include this point please?

also if you dont radar someone speeding are they not speeding? if you dont radar someone racing are they not racing?

finally i dont think sherdog gives a flying fuck nor is the place to discuss your personal opinion of how serious or unserious street racing is

regards

I would have preferred a crime before the officer decided to pull him over. Homeboy pulled him over hoping to catch him riding dirty.

So put your self into the cops shoes for 1 sec. You see a vet and a cts v at a red light. Both reving there engines. They both take off excessively fast. What do you do as a police officer?

Jon thinks he can get away with all this shit, and so far he's right.

Ditto. His fame makes his a target at this point.

His indiscretions make him a target.

My thoughts are that there have been 100 threads on this already.

i guess the cop got lucky that jones was driving without displaying his license properly, something that is a clear violation that doesnt require a pull over to detect

also every time you post i picture the whitest kid ever jamming to the chamillionaires and thinking hes "down" with the movement

bet they had a real good laugh back at the precinct

Close but no. This has nothing to do with race. This has to do my country and freedoms that we are giving away. I say stay the fuck off of my lawn and out of my business. Thats the movement I'm down for. I don't give two shits about the black mans struggle. Tell him to get in line.

I don't even know about that. All I know is it's a bullshit law for police to be the fucking nerdy hall monitors. They need to mind their own business. If the plates are legit then fuck off man.

Catch up from behind and show them what the fuck my cruiser can do

I didn't get that at all from the video. I'm sure the officer ran the tags and then lit him up knowing what his "reason" would be. It was horseshit. If their speeding ok pull them over. But this bullshit here leaves to much discretion for those who want to abuse authority.

Rewatch the vid. The cop states he saw the vet and cadillac revving engines at the red light then both take off at excessive speeds. Infact the cop states that ehile the caddy let off jon did not.
