Coming to America soon, I'm sure. I'm ok with the license suspension. 70mph over the limit is pretty reckless, and obviously willful speeding. But I also am a firm believer in private property rights. It's HIS car. When the state can and does take your property... well, it's just a way of signifying your lack of freedom. Socialism is just a few steps from communism.
From what I know about the street racing law before they crush your car they review the case and the drivers driving record. They make a determination based on the facts about said driver. If however while "street racing" an accident happens and causes death you could pretty well count on your car being crushed.
As far as a lack of freedom is concerned if I were to lay blame on anyone for the government taking this approach I would say to point the finger at the activists groups. MADD, CRASH, etc. These groups seeem to put so much pressure on the government that they react right or wrong just to take action and to show that they have done something.
Personnally if someone killed a family member of mine while street racing, having thier car crushed by the government would be the least of thier problems.....
