VicPol have been crowing about the crushing of the first "hoon's" car in
Victoria, and even have a video of it :
http://www.vimeo.com/13695570

Seems like a terribly irresponsible waste of resources to me, and a very
childish punishment too.

They could have at least given it to TopGear to be destroyed by the
army, or at least dropped it on a caravan from a great great great height.

effectively a fine of tens of thousands of dollars (well
maybe not for the car in the video), for what, a few
squealies? I'm not condoning hooning, but the real crims get
less for break & enter, motor vehicle theft, serious assault
etc.
If they really want to seize motor vehicles from hoons, then
crushing is a stupid waste. If the vehicle is roadworthy
or very close to it, why not donate it to a charity, or sell
it and donate the proceeds? If heavily modified, then it
could be auctioned for wrecking - the panels etc would
probably still be good for repairs. Once again the proceeds
could go to a charity fund.

you do realise that the car was first given to the Vic rescue service to
practice on, so it was effectively put to good use IMHO

Agreed, bunch of complete fuckwits who make the "hoons" look intelligent.
If they had a brain they would sell the car and donate the money to a
good charity like the RCH or similar.

The SES used it for practice and cut the door pillars so that it couldn't
have been used again anyway
