TV shows are certainly entertaining,especially the "reality shows".Try anything like that in Pa.and you can really get in trouble.Back in the early 70s a entire famly and street racer was killed near Pittsburgh.From that incident legislation was passed making Street racing a feloney offence.If in the course of partisipating in street racing if injury or death results,those found guilty can be charged with criminal neglience and due to the severity can get substancial jail time as well as being sued civily for damages resulting in injury or wrongfull death.Once you create a situation cause by willing partisipation in an unlawful act you become criminally liable.
