So the Leo is calling the street takeovers SIDESHOWS.
And impounds cars until court case is adjudicated.

I am sure the leftist pig DAs will reverse.

BRILLIANT!

Meh, I hope that the sweep didn’t inadvertently grab up the cars of some uninvolved, innocent people.

There should be a process to prevent that...

Luckily, cops never make mistakes.

What is a “sideshow?”

Does it have something to do with drug dealers, murderers, rapists, or illegals?

Or does it have something to do with citizens with assets that need to be confiscated for some reason?

An historical aside...
San Joaquin County was named for the San Joaquin River which dates to 1805–1808, when Spanish explorer Gabriel Moraga was surveying east from Mission San José in order to find possible sites for a mission. Moraga named a tributary of the river for Saint Joachim, husband of Saint Anne and father of Mary, the mother of Jesus.

Of course, there was also the legendary bandit and notorious outlaw in the Central Valley named Joaquin Murrieta. Legends about him arose during the California Gold Rush of the 1850s, but evidence for a historical Murrieta is scarce. Contemporary documents record testimony in 1852 concerning a minor horse thief of that name. Newspapers reported bandido named Joaquin, who robbed and killed several people during the same time. A California Ranger named Harry Love was assigned to track down Murrieta and was said to have brought his head in for the bounty.

These days, it would be more appropriate to have Joaquin County named after the infamous outlaw rather than the father of Mary. But the good sheriff is turning that around.

Oh, I see.

"While many say that sideshows embody a long, storied history in Bay Area culture, others, especially law enforcement, note how dangerous illegal driving can be. Sideshows throughout the region have attracted people with guns..."

They can get some guns, maybe, too.

The term "SIDESHOWS" has been used for a long time for these automotive disturbances and lawbreaking. Sideshows first appeared in Oakland, California in the 1980s as informal social gatherings of Bay Area youth. They were pop-up parties — part car show, part block parties,” that started at mall parking lots in Oakland in the 1980s.

Bay Area rapper Richie Rich wrote the "Sideshow" anthem around 1990: "Down Bancroft / To the light / Let me warm it up, I hit a donut tight / Chevy on my side / Windows straight tinted / He got hype when he saw me spinnin’ / I’m up outta there, sideways to the next light"

Urban culture impromptu "driving" exhibitions on city streets. Kind of the "son of cruising" from the 50s and 60s.

See Post #10.

More details (if you what them) at Wiki --> Sideshow (automobile exhibition).

Moraga named a tributary of the river for Saint Joachim, husband of Saint Anne and father of Mary, the mother of Jesus.

Are Mary's parents mentioned in the Bible?

That incident occurred near the University of the Pacific which is in a pretty decent part of town.

Depends on which Bible you read.
Joachim (/ˈdʒoʊəkɪm/; Hebrew: יהויקים Yəhōyāqīm, "he whom Yahweh has set up"; Greek: Ἰωακείμ, romanized: Iōākeím) was, according to Christian tradition, the husband of Saint Anne, the father of Mary, the mother of Jesus, and the maternal grandfather of Jesus.

The story of Joachim and Anne first appears in the Biblical apocryphal Gospel of James. His feast day is 26 July, a date shared with Saint Anne.

The biblical apocrypha (from Ancient Greek ἀπόκρυφος (apókruphos) 'hidden') denotes the collection of apocryphal ancient books thought to have been written some time between 200 BC and AD 100. The Catholic, Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox churches include some or all of the same texts within the body of their version of the Old Testament, with Catholics terming them deuterocanonical books.

So somebody who just parked their car in a public spot gets it towed? That doesn’t seem right.

“cruising” updated to 2020s version with out-of-control driving. Lots of people have been killed.

Good idea but the criminals will just STEAL another car or shoot the person IN the car and drive away (probably angry the tank was not full).
