I'm glad they are appealing, but I think they should be recharged under the new street racing laws as they would be more stiff, and would stick better, I think.

Bear in mind I haven't double checked my answer with the lawyers in my office Frost, but I don't believe that unless the law is written to specifically allow people to be charged with the crime that happened before the law is proclaimed into force that they can do as you suggest.

Even if the law was so written, dunno if it would withstand a challenge under the Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms :huh:
