NYPD verfolgte BMW bei Queens-Übernahme nicht – ein Hinweis tat den Job

Then, on May 1, a tip led them to a second suspect, Winston Pat, who police allege drove a BMW recklessly at the same event. "Here is video of Winston Pat endangering the lives of New Yorkers," the NYPD said on X before reminding residents, "We will continue to take down these car meetups and crackdown on those creating this chaos." The nature of these busts makes them unique and important nationwide.

Nobody got chased at triple-digit speeds, meaning nobody added danger to the situation in the name of enforcement. Instead, the NYPD did something that isn't as flashy, called detective and police work. Then, they made sure to up, arrest, and charge associated individuals.

Here is video of Winston Pat

Here is video of Winston Pat endangering the lives of New Yorkers. We will continue to take down these car meetups and crackdown on those creating this chaos.

"These car meets will not go away unless there are real repercussions in the criminal justice system," a department spokesperson said in a statement to York Post . "The NYPD will continue to dedicate significant resources to stop these dangerous and reckless events."

Perhaps if sideshow participants know that they could end up under arrest days or weeks later, they'll think twice about being involved in the first place. If convicted, these two individuals could face years in prison. That's enough to make plenty of folks think first before doing a donut or two in an intersection.
