This was beyond speeding. This was reckless driving and excessive speed and those behaviours aren’t going to be curbed by a $600 ticket you get in the mail 8 months later.
These are behaviours that need to be punished with jail time and massive fines for showing a reckless disregard for other people (of course being based on the info at hand, which may or may not be true)
What the fuck are we doing talking about speed cameras in here related to this?
I agree. I would want B.C's criminal justice system to take one step further like this law in Los Angeles. -law created to curb street racing, reckless driving.

This is a next level deterrent. What about auctioning the street racer's cars, or crushing their vehicles, in addition to jail time and a lengthy licence suspension?

Get the exotic car, modified car, or any vehicle of the street racer destroyed to become scrap metal.

Tougher enforcement such as car auctions or crushing cars to curb street racing is not a new tactic though. There is legislation in Ontario, California, and other jurisdictions already. B.C. has the Civil Forfeiture Act such that cars of offenders can be taken away from them permanently. What about destroying the offender's vehicle?
