Was listening to channel 173 (WLW) on XM today at around noon. The commentator told a disturbing story that according to him happened in, I believe Riverdale California, about a bunch of car enthusiast (about 150 or so)who gathered at a local shopping center (as we all do from time to time) to hang out and enjoy the cars. As this was going on the cops surrounded the parking lot and started up conversations with a bunch of them. When it came time to leave they supposedly blocked the entrances and started warrantless searches of the cars. Gave out tickets for modified engines, tinted windows, no front license plates, etc.. There was supposedly over 100 cops involved from various agencies and jurisdictions. Supposedly confiscated over 20 cars, something about paperwork not matching, and towed them away. A police spokesperson said later that enough tickets were issued to justify over 100 cops and, I think 60 cruisers.

NOW.... this is what I heard on the radio, don't know if its the least bit true or accurate. I can't find anything on the internet about this so....has anyone else heard about this? Is it old news or what? Didn't find anything on CC about it. If this is true I'm definitely staying away from CA...
