So THAT’S where state officials get their nice cars…
I was perusing North Carolina Statutes and came across statute 20‑141.3: Unlawful racing on streets and highways.
Aside from the guaranteed license revocation and possible vehicle impoundment, I found this part interesting:
When any vehicle confiscated under the provisions of this section is found to be specially equipped or modified from its original manufactured condition so as to increase its speed, the court shall, prior to sale, order that the special equipment or modification be removed and destroyed and the vehicle restored to its original manufactured condition.
Okay, I guess that makes sense. No point in contributing to the proliferation of fast cars on the road I suppose
But this is just amazing
However, if the court should find that such equipment and modifications are so extensive that it would be impractical to restore said vehicle to its original manufactured condition, then the court may order that the vehicle be turned over to such governmental agency or public official within the territorial jurisdiction of the court as the court shall see fit, to be used in the performance of official duties only, and not for resale, transfer, or disposition other than as junk…
Intereeeeeeeeeeeeeeesting……….
