I'm really questioning the legality of this.
The vehicles were gathered in a non-public parking lot (the company that owns the shopping center/mall has the rights to the ground), presumeably with permission from the company that owns it, to form a peaceful gathering.
The police went in under the assumption they would find something illegal, which could be considered some sort of descrimination or profiling of a group of people, particularly considering the police really didn't seem to have any kind of reasonable doubt on the whole matter.
If this group of one hundred plus drivers got together and hired a lawyer, I'm quite confident they would probably win a case against the county or state government.
Even though I hate ricers, I hope they persue such a case.
