No idea but it's loud and obnoxious at 11:45PM

Yeah they’re driving south down Marin on both sides of the road, obnoxious as hell

Yea it’s really loud. Wtf?

It's been going on for a solid 10 minutes now with people driving down Jersey on the wrong side of the road right by the hospital

Where are the police? How are they not enforcing such obvious violations? They can simply block off all the roads and gets these clowns out of here...

I did, you can too

call them, I did

Police just kicked them out of the Target parking lot according to radio chatter. Number of loud showboaters also reported in Hoboken an hour ago.

Likely some social media organized event for guys who want their cars to sound like bikes.

Best way to keep up with these events is getting into the RTLSDR scene. Feed a scan into Google speech to text for transcription and search for anything mentioned in unencrypted government radio chatter.

Seems like it's over now (at least here)?

Hope they all pop a tire

Nope still going

They were just here going down Marin....so fricken loud and annoying. They did at least two loops of my block before disappearing. We're they Porsches?

Sounds like the small pp convention is back in town

I was driving down Washington blvd, the aholes blocked the entire street. Broke a dozen laws and basically didn’t follow any of the traffic signals. It was honestly scary, especially with the amount of cars in that group.

insert Andrew Tate joke here

More like trash ass illegally modified Civics that sound like a dying cow

If the police won't do anything a few of us should take matters into our own hands. Dump out a few buckets of nails in the street, see how they like that.

Police need to declare these things unlawful gatherings (they literally are breaking the law in multiple ways). That would open up the options on how to get rid of them, instead of just kicking them out, in which case they're obviously going to go somewhere else.

According to r/sanjose, police elsewhere have done just this. I’m pretty confident I saw a post in the last four months that talked about something like 800 arrests made for taking part in an “unlawful road show” - I just wish it weren’t such a laughable idea for JCPD to process 800 arrests in a single night 😂😭

Honestly I’d like to see how the police like that. They’re not going to do shit no matter how many people call, so they’ll be driving over those nails in the morning too, and when they ask someone what happened last night that they’re all blowing their tires out, someone might finally piss them off enough to do something.

POS being POS>......

>laughable idea for JCPD to do anything............

The issue here is straight up logistics. This town doesn’t have enough tow trucks to get rid of one car from a driveway without hours of notice. There’s no way they can manage dealing with dozens of cars in a parking lot. And the owner of the parking lot wouldn’t be alright with a bunch of booted cars on their property. I bet JC doesn’t even own enough boots to handle it.

In general, this town has what it needs to deal with what happens 95% of the time. That’s why we’re all annoyed by 5% of the things that happen.

A few buckets of caltrops would handle the problem - https://www.amazon.com/LESIMI-Triangular-Anti-Theft-Security-Emergency/dp/B0BQRRHNXG

If it did stop they had an after party near society hill and I was pulling my hair out.

They paraded down Communipaw after midnight as well.

Yeah that's usually how we refer to people we disagree with the interests and/or opinions of.

It makes our own pp's bigger

Small penis parade.

Not much just a bunch of cornballs

oh, that’s what the firework type sounds were?

That’s not really an issue. They invite private tow trucks to do the work, then either the owners pay for it when picking it up, or it’s recouped with interest when auctioned.

That’s how it works everywhere else.

Don't disagree with their hobby, just how / where they're choosing to partake.

Are you all 70+ plus or what. Fuckers don't know how to celebrate new year or what. Am far in the mountain, quite as hell in New years but how long was this? Your old ears can't handle it or what....pshh... you all must be very fun at parties

I don’t think there’s enough private for a surge op like this what I was getting at.

Also a little off topic, but I’m curious if someone ever told Paramount that there is a company called Top Gun Towing who is trading off one of their brands. I mean someone must have been super pissed about getting towed and then taken it to that extreme, right?

The podcast The War on Cars did a couple episodes of actual investigative journalism about one of these kinds of scenes in Brooklyn. The cops showed up to break up one of the gatherings, everyone slowly drove away, and when the host asked the cops why they aren't ticketing or arresting or anything, they said it's because they're not actually doing anything dangerous or illegal. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad tbh.

There’s a lot of private towing out there. A lot. It’s sometimes predatory.

I think Top Gun as a trademark would only matter if there’s confusion. A movie and a towing company are pretty far apart. Not to mention Top Gun is at least partially a real thing.

So at least as I understand it, they wouldn’t have a claim unless they could prove some kind of confusion…. Reusing character images maybe.

I used to live in JC and now in Nutley. Literally the same thing happened in the shop n stop parking lot in Clifton commons at 1 am.

Well they reuse the wings, in conjunction with the name, so I’d say that could at least imply an endorsement. But IANAL.

I guess the argument is if they’re the movies wings or military which the movie also reused.

At least that’s how I interpret the law.

There’s a “big apple ____” for pretty much anything too. Seems to work under the same pretense.

“Why won’t these annoying drivers just stay in their designated car lanes and follow the rules? They’re so loud and disruptive with their loud engines hogging up the roads. We need the cops to hand out more tickets, that will certainly solve the problem.”

If this sounds stupid now, it’s no different when the Boomers get on their shit at the neighborhood association and city council meetings to suck car culture cock.

Ah, you must be new here. The police don’t enforce anything, welcome to jersey city

Street takeovers with idiots doing donuts in intersections aren't dangerous?

They were apparently doing donuts and spinouts on Washington and Park, marks are still there.

All fun and games till someone is pulp on the sidewalk..

yeah cops are either idiots or liars, news at 11

Your idea of partying is illegally modifying your car and running red lights and driving down the wrong side of the road? Your parties SUCK.
