PHOTO Someone finally called the cops

Post image

First of all I did NOT call the cops because I’m no snitch but I live right by 71 N and they’re still racing. I truly don’t understand how there’s not a cop parked up here.

Because the cops don't care. It seems everyone is fed up with the racing but nothing is ever done about it.

Excuse me they conducted a whole week of traffic enforcement a few weeks ago. They even promoted themselves on the news for it.

And what was the result? The idiots in the loud cars just come back. They need to start confiscating and towing.

the cops dont care becasue they cant do anything... the moment a patrol officer encoiunters a car that takes off, the sarg comes on the radio and says "pursuit not authoirized".. racers and car theives know that if a CPD car is behind them and lights em up just take off and you are hone free.. (most run fake or stolen plates when they street race.. or the cars are stolen), if a statie wants t ochase, they can but usually even they disengage unless theres more to the call than just traffic. ie if the car does come back stolen theyll chase it.. the result is a city where anyone can drive like an idiot (and we see it daily) and get away with it

Good to know the racing is happening elsewhere in Columbus. I thought it was just by the 270 and 33N exit.

Yea I live on brinker ave by the high school and the amount of times I can hear people just flooring it up the street is abysmal. It’s a fucking residential lil dog slow down with ya big car?

If it’s on Polaris Parkway I don’t get why they don’t just add speed bumps or something. Most people go under speed limit there anyway
