I had an LS1 Trans Am when I was 17. The amount of street racing we did was crazy. The crazier part is I only ever had 1 friend get arrested for it. 

I've read people writing some crazy stuff "this will be a turning point in his life. Good or bad". He went and sat overnight for street racing not possession of meth. He'll end up with 6 months of probation and a defensive driving class. Get real.

Memory is not what it once was, but he was a frequent poster here, except on anything relating to that incident. Matt? maybe

Yeah Matt B something. It’s all fun and laughs until something goes wrong. Take it as a learning lesson and if you want to go fast take it to a track day, he has the means

Why?

Because spending a few hours in jail could do some good for some people and they will make sure they never go back

I just imagined the conversation with the cop. lmao

Cop: "What do you do for a living?"

Haiden: "I race dirt bikes."

Cop: "Yeah sure, enough with the funny jokes."

I was arrested for not paying a ticket

Paid my fine as soon as I got in there, still had to wear the jumpsuit until all the paperwork was finished (about 5 hours)

Was this a major city/County?

Looks like he was over around Destin, just west of Tallahassee. 

Destin is in Okaloosa County

He was probably on 30A near Seaside, Grayton Beach or Alys Beach

Yeah, I was gonna say… Most of the comments in here are pretty tame saying things like “we’ve probably all done stupid shit when we were that age. Hopefully he learns from this”.

to be fair, there's a big factual difference between getting arrested for what sounds like "criminal speed" vs using flashing colored lights to pull over random people. Yeah in js7 case it was probably just "for fun" but you really can get robbed/killed by someone pulling you over impersonating a police officer

Right. But what does that have to do with what I said? The guy I was responding to was making it seem like Deegan is getting torn apart in this thread and if people would’ve “hated on” James just as much as they are here. The reality is, yes. James actually did get torn apart online when he was arrested.

Yeah never agreed with the hate james got. To many holier than though but two different cases. Deeg and James are racers. Haiden was doing dumb racer shit. James was just dumb. Funny as hell to me but dumb.

If I had to bet...I bet he was on Hwy 30A near Seaside, FL...which is mostly a golf cart city and where a lot of the wealthy have there 3rd or 4th home.🙄 Spring Break also just started in the area and they are on a crusade to get rid of the spring break college kids so there is zero tolerance in that area. I'm just glad there was no social media in the 80's when that area was much less developed and I hung out there every spring break and summer😂

Dumb young kid doing dumb young kid stuff. If this is the worst thing he does in his youth, he’ll recover just fine. The biggest issue with shit like this is that if something goes wrong, it can go from dumb young kid stuff to life changing in an instant.

There’s hardly anywhere to go fast on 30A. It’s so jam packed with golf carts and vacationers.

This year is going to be the one that he remembers in 10 years as a turning point in his career one way or the other.  Whether it’s that he thinks it’s funny, he was off track, or he figured some stuff out.


He’s just a kid with the means to have the type of fun any of us would’ve loved to at that age, so no judgement.  

I had that type of fun when I was his age without his kind of money. Been there done that ...

Not just ticketed - actually arrested. I’ll be curious to see what he did. The problem with having a high performance car is that it’s way too easy to drive way too fast. I had an M3 and sold it because I liked the performance a little too much and thought I’d better sell it before I wind up doing something stupid. So I got an F-150. Cured that problem completely!

Sure this is a big nothing burger, but he would be dumb to not make a video about this. Anything tied with Haidens name is gonna draw many views.

Unless he did property damage or bodily damage he shouldn't have been arrested. I think we need a foil request

He probably just tried to flee like everyone does at illegal street races once the cops show up. Very common.

Nobody ever called him Safe Driving Boy.

Plot twist:

Loses points lead because he gets grounded by his dad, like you and I would have been back in the day.

Florida doesn't play. Before a first time offender could spend up to a year in jail. Automatic 1 year loss of license.  Looking at the new laws it looks like they let him off easy.
