This is another example of Why We Need Car-Sale Control.
...The incident began just after Trooper Dustin Eggert finished helping a
stranded motorist on the toll road at about 7 p.m. Eggert was merging
back into traffic when he saw the Hellcat blast past at well beyond the
70-mph speed limit, allegedly weaving through traffic and — shock! — not
using a turn signal for lane changes. With a Bandit on his hands,
Eggert took the role of Smokey, and just like Burt Reynolds movies,
couldn't catch the offender. Seems that Indiana State Police Dodge Charger Pursuit vehicles are speed limited to 150 mph, allowing the Hellcat to pull away.
Eggert radioed for officers ahead to look out for the red baron, but
received an assist before other LEOs swooped in: Eggert caught up to the
Hellcat 11 miles down the road when the red coupe got held up behind
two semis driving next to one another on the two-lane toll road.
Sandoval pulled over, admitted he was doing a little more than 160 mph,
then delivered The "Maryland" Defense unfazed by the fact that Maryland
was more than 500 miles from his location. Turns out that 38-year-old
Sandoval, from Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, was also unbothered by driving on
an expired license....
EXPIRED LICENSE??? He was driving a car using an EXPIRED LICENSE?? You mean that there was NO BACKGROUND CHECK before he bought the car???
Oh. Wait. That march is later this morning.
Never mind.
