You must admit it will deter the drivers of the 2 impounded cars for at least 7 days.
As far as charging the stupid & furious from LMD goes, I would expect that the investigators will see what kind of witness response they get from those that called in the race. Decent statements may allow them to charge under the Criminal Code and then proceeds of crime forfiture could apply. Even if they decide on MV Act charges, they have up to 12 months to lay those charges.
I would also believe that Police will be strongly suggesting that the Supt. MVs take a very close look at suspending/prohibiting/cancelling their DLs and the one driving on a foreign DL may be charged for not having a BC one if he should have had one. Something to remember about traffic charges...maximum penalty per charge is 6 months in jail and/or a $2000 fine. The normal VT fines are the minimum $$ to be charged and they can ramp them up if they wish. The high profile and level of danger involved just screams for a high penalty.
