If you're sitting at a light and a cop is behind you and you burn rubber when you take off, but you don't break any other laws is that breaking a law? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I guess the simple question is, is burning rubber illegal?

I wouldn't recommend it. I did this once (didn't see the cop). He just pulled up next to me at the next red light and shook his head in disapproval, but I fully expected to be pulled over. Tbf I'm white and was presenting female at the time, so I imagine it would have gone differently if I was any other demographic.
