Two cleared on charges of illegal street racing on I-564

[C45P312]

NORFOLK — A judge found two people not guilty Monday on charges of illegal street racing on Interstate 564.

Benjamin Vaughan, 18, and Amanda Clifton, 20, were both cleared of the charge in General District Court. Cases against several other people were rescheduled for June.

State Police charged several people in March after a bust on I-564 near the Granby Street exit. State police had been investigating allegations of racing in the area for more than a month.

[Real Random]

Wow! anymore details why they where cleared?

[SignfcntOthr]

No trophies.

[Dang Yo]

No trophies.
:rolleyes:

[Nigerian Hair]

i know exactly why they were cleared

[SignfcntOthr]

Please share. Is it because there is no proof that they were actually racing?


:rolleyes:

i really dont know if i should talk about it up here..state troopers and cops still browse these forums,i saw proof of that yesterday..but if thats your best guess..then you should stick with that;)

[MerF]

Did they argue about geting off easy like the first guy or did they actually be thankful for it?

[Nigerian Hair]

actually the way the case is going,is straight out of a fast and furious movie.

[(F-)]

[MAD_DOHC]

Did they have there cars taken and did they get them back?

[Slimsta Jimsta]

=P

[(F-)]

sorry, i tried

[Mr. Projekt]

was it because they said they were just watching or somehting?

[Hodo]

Good to see two of them get off from the charges. BUT I am sure they will either never head out and hang with anyone again out of fear. Or ended up with a pleabargain with the city and will most like end up as a informant for the police.

On that note it is funny how the NNPD were amaziningly light in numbers this past weekend. I guess overtime was kicking the departments butt.

I was looking foward to seeing that strawberry blond she-cop again, she was kinda hot, with the vest and utility belt and all......

no,thats not what im stating.if you are going to misconstrue what i said,dont guess at all.

[LATERV8]

so there isnt enough edvience to prove who raced that night and the 2 that got it dropped are gonna go out and inform the police where people are street racing from now on?

[Nigerian Hair]

no.

[LATERV8]

no.
well. from what you have said in this thread its hard to understand exactly whats happening to the people involved that night.

[Nigerian Hair]

well. from what you have said in this thread its hard to understand exactly whats happening to the people involved that night.


i havent really said anything..the two people that got cleared,are cleared..they arent coming back to court..and im no "snitch"..im not in any position to "snitch",nor would i ever try to get myself out of a bind by getting someone else in one.

theres still like 3 or 4 people involved left to be charged.

[Slimsta Jimsta]

lets run a train on that bitch in the civic, maybe she'll get the HIV

[SimplistikTA]

Ok I gotta sound totally gangsta for a second, but I gotta say it. "Snitches get stitches or they're found in ditches!" UUUHHHHHHHH! Beeyotch! Ok i feel normal again.

[MAD_DOHC]

If you take the time and read what this man is not trying to say, its obvious that the answer to why they were let go was because there was no proof of illeagal racing.

i hope not june 26th

why do you say that

[TPJ]

that wasnt really funny..but sure.

I LOL'd.

[SlowLS]

A friend of mine, that still has to go to court for this, said that he was one of the people that actually helped get these to off. Not sure if they are using the others caught to testify or anything, and have not talked to him to ge tt he full story, but he said he helped get them off. And from others that have been to court. all the police have is just one cops testimony, no real hard evidence.

[elambz]

Street racing is stupid as we've found out. I'd snitch if I got caught and that was my way out. Dumbfucks shouldn't be doing it anymore anyways.

[Nigerian Hair]

if we all had that mentality,then we should all have this one :



modifying hondas is dumb anyways. Id steal parts off another persons honda,or their whole car at that,if that was my shot at getting good parts. Dumbfucks shouldnt be doing it anyways,because they will either get pulled by the cops,or get their car/parts stolen eventually anyways.



Same mentality right?:rolleyes:

[C MY 4D]

when they got caught were they caught in the act of racing or were they about to race?

Wow, I don't think you can stretch something any more than you just did. Modifying Hondas hurts no one. All it does is put you at risk of tickets. Street racing on the other hand, endangers people. Whether it be the ones in the car or those outside of the car. Evident by the stories upon stories of kids wrecking their car racing and killing themselves or someone elses. Thats apples to oranges trying to compare street racing to modifying Hondas.

i wasnt trying to Compare them..i was showing the stupidity in both statements..i understand street racing is stupid..everyone is aware of that. But it certainly doesnt stop people from around the country,from making videos,doing it every friday and sat. night,and building their cars solely for the street. I just love how everyone used to do it..and now that its publicized..everyone is trying to act above what they were before all this shit happened.


billy bob a week before 3/3/06 : Hey,wheres the races gonna be at tonight?? i want to run this Turbo hatch

billy bob a DAY after 3/3/06 : street racing is so fucking stupid,those guys were stupid,i cant believe they were so dumb..i would never go out there and do something like that..dumbfucks.


there isnt a problem with stating the obvious..but dont state it like you never stuck your hand in the cookie jar.

[Hatch Man(GsR)]

Well some people are too stupid to learn from other people's mistakes. I was not out there that night, but I have been there before. To say that I have never street raced would be a lie... But luckily I am one of those people who can learn from other's... I don't need to get caught or lose my car to find out that street racing is dumb. Otherwise, I wouldn't waste my money every weekend going to dinwiddie...

thats the thing..people are trying to ostricize other people,thinking that they never knew street racing was dumb until they got their car taken away.

Everyone knew what they faced everytime they lined up,or went from a roll...but in the food chain,someone eventually has to get eaten,for the other animals to realize not to hang around that spot,otherwise they will get eaten too.

i have no problem with people joking,making comments,or anything..but to keep going around the boards,or in real life,pointing,and saying "you are stupid,i would never do that" is hypocritical...like this forum for instance..this forum would have never been made,if the events of 564 didnt happen..people would still be out linin em up. but now,everyones trying to get a track built,and meet up and organize "lawlfully" and get together with cops.


sounds like the pot calling the kettle black to me...

i actually wanted to say that. but i just held my tongue.


just imagine if he got caught in a drug bust with you..the cops say :

"if you tell us who was dealing,and who was producing,we will keep you out of jail"

[Hatch Man(GsR)]

Yup, I am not criticising any of the people who were caught racing. It could have been pretty much anybody that got caught... I was just commenting on how anybody who is looking for a place to street race after 564 happened is dumb and in-capable of learning from the experiences of others...

Also, I am sure getting caught was the last thing the people out on 564 were thinking about when it happened...

It was brought to my attention that there is some talk of myself and "the other guy" that I was in court with on monday are narks? I found out myself after browsing through this forum...and I wanted to set the record straight....first off I wasn't racing...second no one helped me get off, except my attorney and the commonwealth for not having their shit together. I don't know any of the guys that got charged as well as myself. I don't know how all this narking crap has gotten around, but just know I had the chance to, cuz they did offer that to me, but I didn't, because someone could have been out there just like myself and got caught up in it. So since you all are going from "word of mouth" I figured I'd bring the source to you....and Mustang boy good luck hope your as fortunate as I was

no one accused you or anyone else of Narking...its just a lot of people trying to guess what happened..only I,and a select few people know whats going on.second of all..please refrain from calling me mustang boy ever again,thats very disrespectful,and i dont even know who the hell you are for you to be calling me that.

[escortL7]

i was in the court room that day i was one of the first cases seen, 2 guys wearing whites. we were there for a non 564 incident. and a reckless driving charge was dropped to improper driving but the judge got pissed cause sombody told the witness to go home so she exteneded tll june 26

[Boost609]

If only they could have gotten off "easy" like the first guy, with 1 yr suspended license, $1000 fine, and 12 months in jail suspended upon 2 yrs good behavior. That sounds like a deal.

As the person who said something about possiblity of you pleabargaining with the State. Well lets face it, the chances of you getting off from a case like that with your car the color it is, with those charges and previous cases being hit with "light" punishment. The odds of your plea are far greater than what you state. But seeing as I have only meet you once and dont really know the kind of person you are, sorry to insult you like that.

With that said, see you on the street ;)

[PinkHondaGirl]

I appreciate the apolige. I don't want anyone to get the wrong impression of me, Im not the one out there after everyone..its the state! Beleive me if I helped them out at all everyone would have seen it because I would have been up there standing beside them when they heard others cases, and I wasn't...I don't even know anything to be able to tell them anyways ....the judge was def. willing to hear my case out and I am most thankful to her....but I still haven't gotten my car...they are trying to screw me and make me pay empound fees to get it out...about 2 grand...Im still fighting that and im about to take it to the media because they shouldn't have had my car from the start of all of this....none of them know what they are doing...I wish this was all over with...I may be "cleared" but im still going through shit....

[Lord Humongous]

Well...maybe you shouldn't have been out there fucking about

[MAD_DOHC]

but I still haven't gotten my car...they are trying to screw me and make me pay empound fees to get it out...about 2 grand...Im still fighting that and im about to take it to the media because they shouldn't have had my car from the start of all of this....none of them know what they are doing...I wish this was all over with...I may be "cleared" but im still going through shit....

So who exactly doesn't know what they are doing? Normally when a car is impounded, there are fees associated to get it back. You probably weren't racing, you can say you were innocent all you want, but you were still out there so don't act like you are little Ms. Innocent.

You can fight and take it to court if you want to get the fee's back, but that is going to cost money as well for a lawyer and who knows how long it would take to get resolved. Your best bet is to go and pay to get the car ASAP as you are more than likely being charged a storage fee every day the car is there.

Be lucky you CAN get your car back,and stop bitching.

[Hodo]

Unfortantly Geckogirl, the impound yard will have to get paid, they honestly dont care if you were cleared or not, they are in the buisness to make money. UNfortantly for you, you got tagged with a hella bill. The only thing I can suggest if you honestly want to try and fight the bill is try and see if you can get the judge to get the state/city to cover it. But I doubt they will. The only other suggestion is to try and make payments to the impound yard, and haggle down the amount owed.

Man you must not have a life to sit on here and troll on other peoples luck. I see nothing wrong with going out and chilling with a bunch of freinds in a parking lot, B.S'ing the night away. It beats being like your momma and doing drugs and smokin cack and ballz at night.

I can troll with the best of them.

Well my little ray of sunshine...

As a matter of fact, I'm a regular at the Starbucks in NN doing as you put it "chilling with a bunch of freinds in a parking lot, B.S'ing the night away"

You dipshits meanwhile made 564 into your personal racetrack and wondered what happened when you got busted.

Ever hear the phrase "Don't shit where you eat?" Perfectly applicable to this situation.

The Norfolk cops used the traffic cameras to watch people hang out in that lot and then stroll out to 564 and race. If you had been smart, you wouldn't have hung out in a place 30 feet from illegal racing.

But you didn't and so most of you got busted for something and therefore gave me the oppertunity to laugh at you esp. the bitch crying on camera.

Sucks to be you

*edit - Way to be orginal and talk about my mother. Feel free to stop by NN anytime and we can talk about it.
