It will stick, particularly due to the death of a visiting tourist, young mother and child. Such a waste. Very sad.
Florida law is broad and tough on street racing. More so if they have evidence that the race was planned. Participating organizers and spectators can be charged, even if they are not in the car. Clearly not intended to convict a bystander in a spontaneous race, a "street outlaws" organized street race would get evryone arrested. (yes I know the show i staged).
But there's more... If you're busted twice within 5 years for street racing, the state can sieze and keep your car.
(6) Any motor vehicle used in violation of subsection (2) by any person within 5 years after the date of a prior conviction of that person for a violation under subsection (2) may be seized and forfeited as provided by the Florida Contraband Forfeiture Act. This subsection shall only be applicable if the owner of the motor vehicle is the person charged with violating subsection (2)
As the OP said, keep it on the track.
