This is a start, but we need to see a lot more tickets and arrests. The idiots in their Chargers and Mustangs are speeding around Fort Wayne with no consequences. Its the same with the fools who ruin parking lots with burnouts. My employer was hit five times last year and the police just chased them out. No tickets were issued. Every entrance has No Trespassing signs, so I can only assume the police don’t want to do the paperwork. I heard a task force was being formed to deal with parking lot takeovers, but the amount of black tire marks and intersections and in parking lots continues. I really think the city or state needs to consider increasing fines and start impounding cars. If the police don’t start dealing with these drivers, business owners will be forced to take matters into their own hands.
