Police in the Sacramento area set up a special unit to go after sideshows and caught a number of them.
The California Highway Patrol and the Elk Grove Police Department worked together on April 4 to set up an entertainment detail for a big show in the Sacramento area. Throughout the evening, CHP’s A-21 and the sideshow detail found busy sideshows in a number of different places.
“It’s safe to say that the streets were safer because there were so many police,” the CHP said on social media. “People who took part had their cars towed, and people who watched got tickets.”
The police said that sideshows are unsafe because people drive carelessly and do doughnuts and burnouts, often at high speeds, with no safety measures in place.
People are too close together, and drivers take big risks, sometimes while they’re drunk, which can lead to accidents that hurt or kill people or hit walkers.
