There's a followup to the article I linked to yesterday here.
"Aguirre and other officers said the raids were intended to cut down on reports of illegal drag racing along Westheimer that threatened the safety of residents and drivers in the area."
OK, that's all fine and good, but why then not arrest people who were drag racing, rather than people who were for the most part minding their own business? For that matter, why was no one either given a warning or citation, rather than being arrested? It just doesn't smell right.
