What's the consensus on burnouts?

Burnouts arent really my thing I'm more of a hook and go type person lol. I see guess doing burnouts on the street and I always of how stupid and reckless it is. In a controlled setting they are ok but still a waste of tires lol. I would most definitely involve the pd and do it in a controlled area where no other cars can be damaged if something goes wrong that could be a big lawsuit if a bystander gets damaged vehicle or even worse injured
