Smh…typical “Dumb-in-a-cans” racing on 21. I see it all the time in Passaic with their signature Honda’s and Acura’s… never see Passaic’s “Finest” out there patrolling. Too busy writing tickets along Main and Monroe…

  I would wait until facts come out before assuming, but yes.i see it all over, especially anywhere I am in Paterson.Young drivers racing all over,speeding,and their cars reek of marijuana. Often packed with other younger passengers too.Paterson does little to nothing because i see more of this by the day, not less.
