Surprised after searching no one has the event on youtube. But there is about 2 minutes of footage where a hamilton entourage tries to obscure the camera view of lewis while being booked. Nothing worth watching.

I want to know why the police think that locking up his car for 2 days would be punishment for him.
I bet after 1 phone call he had another AMG waiting for him. The car will be back on the lot on Monday as originally planned.
So what did the confiscation do ? SFA. = Another failure for hoon laws.
same reason that they locked up the doctor's lamborghini in Perth after the mechanic was caught driving it - because the legislation is an ass and it too narrow and narrowly imposed to account for every-day situations
whhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaattt?!?!?!?! a mech was caught driving the lambo, so they punished the owner?
how does that figure? shouldnt they be confiscating the mech's license?
funny how the powers that be, are so lacklustre in their imagination that they're applying catch-n-book-p-platers-in-their-piece-of-s**t-vs-ss-commodores laws to the current formula 1 world champion.
funny how all these "hoon laws" seem to cast such a long shadow, and yet you dont see lewis hamilton smashing up a bob jane t-marts shop because they're not sponsoring easternats (whoopdee do, kingswoods doing burnouts). hoons are hoons are hoons and thats it eh?
good to see that the law is doing its best to keep society safe. meanwhile, i dont see much going on RE the two assholes that sexually assaulted that poor wheelchair bound girl, THEN proceeded to mercilessly bash her, THEN kicked her wheelchair away and tied her to a pagoda here in melbourne.
but atleast the formula one world champion has been punished for doing a burnout.
I support the anti hoon laws and find it good that no matter who it is, they still book them. If they hadnt booked Lewis it would have been double standards.
Seeing that shocking prang in Vic last night on the TV this morning, I am surprised that some here object to the road safety campain...
The problem with these hoon laws is that does not matter who owns the car.
If someone stole your car and got caught hooning it would get impounded. So you end up being punished. How is that fair ?
And for all the crashes on Vic this weekend how many were due to hooning ?
I don't object to it, but I don't support it...As Scott said, hoons will be hoons, whatever car they are in...Innocent people will die regardless of what laws are in place...At the end of the day, **** happens, and people die.Quote:

Its good that Hamilton got punished the way he did t prevent double standards, but the standard of the law in the first place is laughable...

They also said in the same sentence that these camera rake in more than $1M each & every year!!!!!!!!!!
Now where does all that money go? I know it doesn't go back on the roads! I've seen the state of alot of main & secondary roads & they are s%#t to say the least!
At the end of the day I've said it a million times & I'll say it again.
It just too easy for cops to pull over & pick on young people behind the wheel & make stupid traffic laws & regulations, cause its just "too" hard for them to do real police work eg. finding drug dealers, rapists, murder's & robbers etc.
& I've been through this first hand too! Lazy arse fat coppers with speed camera's!
You don't make revenue from arresting real crooks!!!!!!
it's a shame that at the end of the day, that's what it's really all about, isnt it?Quote:
