Please Sign petition

We the undersigned demand the immediate stop of movies, television shows, and all media that gives the impression that import and sport compact enthusiasts are criminals. The movie Fast and the Furious and its sequel 2 Fast 2 Furious has caused an explosion in police force cracking down and profiling members of our community. This is becoming an invasion of our privacy when the majority of our community are law abiding citizens and do not participate in illegal activities relating to our vehicles. These media productions give the impression that we are all thieves, gang members, drug dealers, street racers, and many other implied stereotypes. Being pulled over for no obvious reason is humiliating and demeaning and gives other motorists the impression that we are perpetuating the negative actions that they see in the media without understanding the situation. This and other actions are labelling us in a severely negative light. This must end now. Stop Profiling Sport Compact Enthusiasts.

I don't care for those movies. But movies are made because people will go to them. Take a look at who is going and get on their case about it. If people didn't go, they wouldn't be made..

You need to petition some thing a little more important and if this is a priority to you, then you have problems.

It may be true that a cop may take a double look at a ricer... but this the acura CL board. And no one here drives anything thats "ricey" (atleast i hope not).

As for the chums who actually try to make their import look like a car from Fast&Furious...... we'll they're just askin for it

You don't think that your loud mufflers and stereos, potentially illegal tint, lamp colors and lamp brightness could have anything to do with that, do you?









Nah.

Get a grip. The cops didn't go to see FATF and then decide to crack down on you and your ricer friends. If anything, those cars are a crime against good taste. What a waste of a perfectly good automobile.
