[Scan-DC] scanner use by street racers noted in Post article

[dc2wheel]

Article on the front page of todays Washington Post 
mentions that scanners are used by illegal street
racers to evade police.  Not exactly the best image of
our hobby to have publicized:

"Equipped with a police scanner, the racers could
learn when officers were on the way, spread the word
via cell phone and then scramble to another racing
spot. "
...
"And organized racers have become harder to catch,
with spectators monitoring police radios and spotters
posted down the road watching for patrol cars."
