This one makes me snicker... until I realize that big brother could be looking over my shoulder, too.

But still... don't ya know the parents of this kid is loving Onstar.

Maybe.

Is the problem destroying the field... or getting caught?

Police: Teen driver caused $24.8K in damage to soccer field
Quote:
BOYNTON BEACH - Police arrested a 17-year-old Manalapan boy Tuesday for causing $24,800 in damage to a soccer field last year. Police found the teenager through On-Star records.

About 11:30 p.m. Nov. 21, the teen allegedly spun his 2007 GMC Denali, making "donuts" in St. Joseph's Episcopal School in the 3300 block of South Seacrest Boulevard.


During the time the teen was spinning out, On-Star received a "collision notification."
The documents were turned over to police after a subpoena.

Police charged the teen with reckless driving and criminal mischief.

The real crime is usurping and limiting space where kids can practice for their upcoming adulthood ~ it's a field the grass will grow back. Where's the priority - criminalize our kids in the name of pristine grass?

The authorities should be thankful the kid took it upon himself to improve his driving skills. He now has a much better feel for his vehicle, what it can and can't do. Rather have him on the road as opposed to a teen who has never experienced a donut or two.
