Illegal Sideshows Terrorize Oakland
In Oakland, California, a dangerous trend is endangering the general public, prompting the local government to come up with additional measures to deal with the frightening illegal sideshows.
In order to put on risky tricks like extreme donuts and even wrecks, drivers and spectators in the San Francisco Bay Area are progressively closing down intersections, residential streets, parking lots, and even bridges.
According to a local, drivers are drawing firearms on people who are taking photos of their license plates to report the activity. Additionally, participants in the illegal sideshows are wearing masks to conceal their identities. District 5 Oakland Councilman Noel Gallo claimed that participants in these said illegal sideshows travel from outside the Oakland region just to participate, which draws large groups of players and onlookers.

When asked what might be done to deter and stop these illegal sideshows, Gallo listed some solutions for his city.
