SWAT Cops Mistake Honda's Launch Control For AK47 Gun Fire
We were sent this video by a viewer of an altercation between a dozen heavily armed police officers with automatic assault rifles and the owner of a (rather loud) supercharged Honda (Acura) Integra DC5.
Owner, Enrique Mendoza states that he was messing around with launch control outside his workshop minutes prior to the encounter.
"I used launch control while putting my car away and the cops thought it was someone firing an ak47 and turned up with guns drawn, they were very good about the situation once they realized it was actually the car."
One of the cops seems particularly irate, swearing and accusing the Integra owner of lying. To be fair though, if you hear what does probably did sound remarkably like gunfire from a distance, you're not exactly going to be going over there all meek like as if you're asking for a bowl of sugar from the neighbours.
