Won’t the cops ever do something about these reckless-ass Fin-Fins with drive-out tags?
Well, they did. On Saturday. With arrests and a bit of humor.
On Saturday, the Memphis Police Department (MPD) arrested four drivers in an operation it called Infinity War Car Take-Over. The operation was conducted by members of MPD’s Scorpion Unit and Vice Team around the 3400 block of South Third.
“Detectives observed several vehicles driving recklessly,” reads an MPD statement posted on Facebook. “The cars were speeding, driving 70 [miles per hour – mph] in a 35 mph zone.
The cars were disregarding red lights and producing circles, better known as donuts, in the middle of intersections throughout the city.
