I always feel like if you're sitting at a light and a cop is behind you and you burn rubber when you take off but you don't break any other laws is that breaking a lot?

Same question but instead you only use launch control, so no loss of reaction, and don't go over speed limit.... Although the cop would hear the brup, brup, brup, brup.... Braap... Brrraaaap, and you slow down the rpms to not exceed speed limit....

Technically yes, especially since this was a technical question, he wasnt asking if he would get pulled over, he was asking if there was a law being broken. You probably wouldn't get arrested for hooking your donkey to a post on main Street on a Sunday in Colorado springs, but if you asked if there was a law against it, the answer would be in the codified law, not in is likelihood of a cop knowing it.
And yet with lack of enforcement it functionally does not exist even if it is written on some piece of paper

Can’t remember where it happened, but I’ve read about someone being pulled over for pulling away from the traffic lights too quick.

I agree about pedestrians, but cars changing lanes should to be aware of their surroundings, including cars that are approaching them.
Cars accelerating at unreasonable rates
How do you define "unreasonable" though, especially with EVs that can accelerate quickly?
Unreasonable is any rate of acceleration that other cars can't safely navigate around and amongst.

Is this a serious question?
Yes. I knew it would be antagonizing but I didn't know of it was illegal.
Don't be rude and unkind to people who don't know as much as you.

As others have said, it depends on the city but probably yes.
For example, in San Mateo, California, it would be an offense under title 11 of the Municipal Code:
11.12.050 EXCESSIVE ACCELERATION OF MOTOR VEHICLES.
It is unlawful for any person operating a motor vehicle within the City to so accelerate the same as to cause audible noise by tire friction on pavement or to cause the tires of said vehicle to leave skid marks upon the pavement, except when such acceleration is reasonably necessary to avoid a collision. Any person violating this section shall be guilty of a public offense.

Unsafe start is the term in my area

If you make your car fart on purpose, hopefully yes.

Unreasonable gives cops and judges a lot of leeway. Words like that should be illegal. If you can't pin it down, it can't be a law.

That is true but pretty irrelevant. Is a law enforced is a completely different question from is it a law, and it's not an insignificant degree of difference.
That's like someone asking if chocolate ice cream exists and you saying it's possible no one likes it. Technically true but irrelevant to the question.

I live in a town with a lot of Vietnamese people, cops learn to make do and be racist with what they have available.
