Legal Side Of Car Crushing

[barney2010]

getting caught three times could be bad luck, all you ppl out their can't honestly tell me you have never broken the law, but all in all keep it to the track and you will be fine

They should strip the cars of every part worth of value and resell the parts instead of the car itself, that way the car will never be returned to the original owner, and we wont have to live the pain of seeing them being crushed lol

Crush them all. Who cares about those morons who street race anyway? Not me.

this topic is not about opinions on car crushing or not, that has been discused over and over. this thread is about the legal aspects if these laws are passed.

why should the offender have to be the driver?

if you lend a car to someone you are responsible for what they do with it.

Because they're the ones actually committing the crime, and you need to draw the line somewhere. "Material support" or "aiding and abetting" for such an offense is bullshit.

Otherwise, why not hold the dealer responsible for selling them the car? The OEM for making it? The finance company responsible for lending them the money to buy it? Tyre companies for selling them the rubber that their car drives on? Oil companies for selling them the fuel that makes the car run at all? The RTA, VicRoads, etc for building roads that let them drive quickly on it? The parents for giving birth to them? The grandparents for giving birth to the parents who gave birth to them? Society for raising a member that thinks its OK to do so?

When you start talking second to third degree responsibility, inevitably you can blame anyone and everyone with a tortuous enough "justification".
