Yonkers Police Impound “Hot Rod” With Illegal, Loud, Exhaust

This one got a lot of discussion and comments on the YPD social media. On Oct. 7, “To our residents on upper Warburton Avenue dealing with the reckless driving and gunshot exhaust systems: one more down and more to come… #YonkersPD

The comments were divided, with some saying thanks to the police for taking this loud exhaust off the streets, but others saying that the noise is too loud already, and that the YPD should be taking care of more serious criminal matters.

We think that the impounding of this vehicle was the right thing to do for the people of Yonkers. First, hopefully by taking the owners car away, (and by reporting on it), others may think twice before putting this type of exhaust on their car.

Second, yes sometimes Yonkers can get loud, with sirens and other noises, but we need the YPD to enforce the law. Every little bit helps.
