I have to say, I agree completely here but also take it a step further. Since there is proven illegal behaviour, they tarnish everyone with the same brush. Only way to stop it would be to lynch those who bring us a bad name.
Safety is paramount. Cars on their guys are not safe. Stolen cars are outright illegal. The cops are going todo what they have to. I've said this time and time before, avoid hotspots and you'll be right.
