KENT, Wash. - State legislators are working to pump the brakes on street racing in our state and while changes are coming, they won't be implemented in time for this summer's busy traffic season.
That's why tools like the Washington State Patrol (WSP)'s Aviation Section remain more important than ever to crack down on offenders and keep illegal racers off the roads.
The aviation unit just released images showing how they are cracking down on offenders from above. Although the use of planes isn't new, technology is changing the game.
"The FLIR system, the infrared system, the advanced ability to track vehicles through traffic," said Chris Loftis, the director of communications at Washington State Patrol.
