Don\u2019t do this if you want to travel to the United States.<\/p>\n

A Calgary man who had been living in New York with his wife and child fleed back to Canada after doing what seems to be a series of remarkably stupid things.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how it went.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Tang decides to try and break the record for lapping Manhattan in a sports car. This is dumb.<\/li>\n
  2. Tang then uploads video to youtube in order to gain something called \u201cstreet cred\u201d or whatever. This is also dumb.<\/li>\n
  3. Tang discovers New York prosecutors want to use him as an example and send him to jail, so Tang flees back to Calgary.\u00a0It\u2019s debatable how dumb this part is.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Anyway if you are interested in street racing you might not be rolling yours eyes at this one as much as I am but hopefully you know that posting evidence of a crime on\u00a0the internet\u00a0is not a good idea if you want to continue living, travelling, etc in the United States of America.<\/p>\n

    Now it\u2019s important to keep in mind that even if Mr. Tang is not found guilty of this stupid crime the chances are very good that he will still need a Waiver just to cross the border again. Of course I don\u2019t know the full details of Mr. Tang\u2019s immigration status but none of this bodes very well for him.<\/p>\n

    If you\u2019re interested here\u2019s the youtube evidence. Story below.<\/p>\n
