Quote: .. Hey, the show has it's moments.. But I just can't understand admitting to committing crimes on National TV..
Since some of you guys here know these guys and/or were present for the filming can you shed light on this?
How do they get away with having their "crimes" videotaped and broadcast for all to see if it's real?
The only way I think it can work is that the production crew gets filming permits to close down the highways for "re-enactments" of the kind of street racing they do to film for the show. That way everyone's butt is covered - both racers and film crew - if the law sees the show broadcast later and comes knocking they can just show them a copy of the film permit to show that it was just a re-enactment for the show. Is that how it works?
One thing that seemed really fishy about the first show is how brightly lit up (for the cameras) this highway in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night seemed to be. There seemed to be huge light rigs like they use for nighttime road construction that just happened to be set up in the middle of nowhere where they are racing.
