"No Cruising Law". Wtf?

[FleshLight]

So I coming home from the Getty Center down Sunset and I saw this sign that said "No Cruising, If you are caught passing through the same intersection more than 2 times in 4 hours, you may be cited".

Well it must suck if you're lost in west hollywood.

 

[Sheepathon]

I love the law.

 

[mattocs]

I saw a show about that...its shady.


Trying to cut down a useless traffic and save gas?

 

[Leros]

Is this legal? Your taxes are paying for the roads.

 

[Viperoni]

I remember seeing a pic of a sign like that from the Las Vegas strip.

I'm sure the law was made to protect residents from being harrassed. Not sure if it will work though.

Actually your taxes pays for cops and their tickets pays for the roads...

It's the strip, aren't you supposed to cruise it?

 

[Adica]

Wow, that's terrible! What if you are moving or running a lot of errands? That law is so wrong.

 

[Gillbot]

Most cities in the US have cruising laws now.

 

[pray4mojo]

I must've violated that law about 10 times within the last month getting lost in West Hollywood.

less cruisers = less trouble-makers

You mean the bums? There aren't exactly that many homes on the stretch between west hollywood and the 101

no cruising ordinances are used to keep city streets clear of useless traffic. In my small home town it is used to try to prevent highschoolers from just driving around all night and causing trouble

I find it amusing that the generation which established Cruising as a passtime (the baby-boomers) are now trying to outlaw it. It's amusing to me how the boomers became even more uptight than the people they were protesting against when they were young.

There was a HUGE article in C&D awhile back on this, and how it was a big steaming pile of bullsh!t.

People actually do that? What a waste of gas.

I fought the law and the law won.

Interesting concept, huh?

When I cruise the strip
You know that it's me
Split the crowd in half
Like Moses did to the sea

It's been like that by me for well over 5 years.

No kidding. I went to a wedding recpetion a few days ago and a guy in his 40's was talking about all the stuff he used to do as a kid. Climb water towers. Take lugnuts off of police cars. Burn out, drag race. And they never really got in trouble for it. Now all the people that are his age that did all that same stuff are the police officers and law makers that think it's rediculous that people would think about doing anything like that and make the laws so that people cant do it anymore without spending a night in jail sometimes.


People need to be 1. Less sensitive, 2. More considerate of others, and 3. Able to take responsability for their own actions.

They passed a law just like that here in Eugene years ago.

No more cruising "The Gut"
